A study on the effects of pavement towards the surrounding thermal environment: A case study of Dataran Rakyat and Dataran Wawasan, Putrajaya

Rapid urbanization has turned most of the soil ground into paved surfaces whether it is building or outdoor landscape elements that make up majority of urban fabrics composition. Paved surfaces are one of the crucial elements that significantly influence the occurrence of urban heat island (UHI) phe...
