Resumo
Most Brazilian cities are considered small (87.79%) and few have studies that assess their urban climate. Thus, practical and easy-to-understand bioclimatic analysis methods are needed to help urban managers in their decision making. The main objective of this work is to develop a thematic map that represents thermally uncomfortable regions of the Center of Mamanguape, a small town in the state of Paraiba/Brazil. For this, it was used the German methodology of production of Urban Climate Maps that characterizes urban areas considering the energy balance, influenced by the aspects of thermal load and dynamic potential. The analyzed areas were
identified, classified, and received a climatic valuation according to the relation in the temperature elevation and wind flow capacity, influenced by constructions, topography, vegetation, and open spaces, making use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). With the Urban Climate Map, it was observed that consolidated areas contribute negatively to the thermal comfort of the population, and that areas classified as favorable to comfort are located mainly in peripheral areas. Therefore, the preliminary results obtained can collaborate with the beginning of a climate awareness not only of public managers, but of all those involved in the production of urban
space.
