Climate confort of the north and southern sector of the city of Bahia Blanca

Abstract

In the city of Bahí­a Blanca, doesn ´t exist comparative studies on the environmental quality of the different sectors For this reason, it was proposed the organization of an Urban Environmental Quality Index (UEQI), which contemplates dimensions of the physical-natural support and urban habitat. Between the indicators analyzed it presents climatic comfort. Due to the climatic characteristics of the city, in which there is a marked seasonality, an index should be applied for the summer months and another for the winter. This paper aims to obtain information for the calculation of UEQI. Although many indicators remain to be evaluated, taking into account this analysis, it could be determined that the environmental quality of the northern sector it ´s higher than the southern area, since the difference in the applied index for the winter period was more prominent.
