Thermal Comfort Survey Data for Elderly in Nanyang People's Park

Nanyang People's Park in China serves as a case study for this dataset, which likely contains results from a thermal comfort survey of elderly visitors. The data was created by Dong Yan and last updated in June 2026. It supports research on aging-friendly urban park design in hot summer and cold winter regions.

Use Cases

• Modeling thermal comfort thresholds for elderly populations based on frailty levels mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing relationships between microclimate measurements and subjective comfort votes referenced in the study.
• Comparing adaptive behaviors of elderly with different frailty levels in outdoor environments.
• Providing reference data for designing urban parks in hot summer and cold winter climate zones.

Strengths

• Includes specific neutral temperature values for three frailty levels (10.29°C, 9.60°C, 8.65°C).
• Combines objective microclimate measurements with subjective questionnaire data.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
