The impact of urbanization of the City of Bijeljina on the thermal comfort of the population

Abstract

Construction of buildings from the beginning of the twentieth century in the city of Bijeljina made a complete transformation of the area and created an urban environment of a small town. Urbanization, combined with high temperatures, has led to thermal discomfort of the population, which was analyzed through bioclimatic index of heat load of an organism (HL). The aim of this paper is to include bioclimatic evaluation and analysis of thermal comfort in the process of spatial planning.
