Abstract

We are witnessing numerous climate changes that greatly affect the daily life of people, especially those living in urban areas. During the summer months, it is almost impossible to find an urban space that is pleasant for people to stay, due to excessive insolation and high temperatures. Children's playgrounds were singled out as endangered places in this research, as key spaces for children's socialization. With the help of an algorithm that calculates the insolation and temperature of such spaces, there is an opportunity to examine a large number of different configurations and solutions that will create more pleasant conditions for staying in them.
