Abstract

Comfortableness of outdoor thermal environment has played an important role in people's lives. During the hot summers, the urban green space system has played a significant role in adjusting air temperature and remitting heat island effect. With the aggravating heat island effect and the developments of science and technology, people have continuously deepened their cognition of that urban green space improves urban ecology. From the multidisciplinar angles of ecology and environmental economics, it can be more deeply to realize and evaluate the significance of urban green space to the urban environment, which has become the hot research area and temperature dropping effect of urban green space in summer is one of it. The research investigates quality of ecological service functions of temperature dropping effects of the different types of urban green space in summer in Hangzhou in the classification way, which will provide inspiration and reference for understanding part of ecological results of reducing air temperature by urban green space in summer in Hangzhou and elaborately classifying and evaluating service function values of urban green space.
