Thermal Comfort Survey for Elderly in Nanyang People's Park

97.3 KB of field research data from figshare, last updated June 2026. Dong Yan's study combines microclimate measurements and subjective questionnaires to model thermal comfort for older adults in a hot summer and cold winter region park. The data includes calculated physiological equivalent temperature and thermal comfort voting results.

Use Cases

• Modeling thermal comfort thresholds for elderly populations based on frailty levels mentioned in the description
• Analyzing relationships between physical, personal, social, and psychological factors and outdoor thermal comfort
• Comparing thermal adaptation behaviors among older people with varying degrees of frailty
• Providing a data reference for formulating thermal comfort standards for urban parks

Strengths

• Data includes specific neutral temperature results for three frailty levels: 10.29°C, 9.60°C, and 8.65°C
• Combines objective microclimate field measurements with subjective thermal comfort questionnaires
• File is available in XLSX format for structured analysis

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is limited to a single case study park, Nanyang People's Park
