Abstract
Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a challenge to human in the following decade as a result of continuous urbanization without appropriate planning and design. The impacts of UHI will getting worse due to the increase of population density with improper urban development especially in dense metropolitan cities. In the point of view of outdoor thermal comfort, a prolonged exposure to the outdoor heat will significantly contribute to human discomfort and health problems. Therefore, various research efforts have been implemented for developing solutions the mitigation strategies. The development of thermal manikin is one of mitigation effort to investigate the occurrence of UHI and to evaluate thermal comfort in microclimate conditions as representative of human simulation model. Hence, the aim of this paper is focused on the consideration that are required to develop a thermal manikin for outdoor thermal comfort assessment which include outdoor thermal comfort index, development of thermal manikin and material for thermal manikin for outdoor thermal comfort assessment.
