| Summary: | Urbanization is one of the drivers that changes the morphology of urban buildings. Braga, also known as corridor of The Dutch building, was not spared from the impetus of urbanization. Urbanization makes the growth of urban villages more dense and not balanced with existing land. So that it is not impossible if in the future developments of the Braga area will be oriented to high-rise buildings that can disrupt the conservation value of the region. Changes in building morphology can create changes in microclimate that affect the thermal comfort of humans living in Braga. The carrying capacity of the thermal environment in the Braga region can be decreased due to morphological changes. Microclimate changes can trigger an urban heat island phenomenon. Planning the intensity and mass of buildings in the Braga area must be able to pay attention to the conservation value of the area and the carrying capacity of the thermal environment. The urban geometry approach is one way to find the value of the intensity and mass of buildings in the realm of micro-climate science. The method used is quantitative descriptive analysis which classifies the type of research area based on urban geometry, analyzes the most influential climate parameters in each area type and the relationship of physical components to climate parameters using Envi-Met simulation, regression analysis and quantitative descriptive analysis and composes design principles through quantitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that there is a correlation between the volume and surface area of the building in the area against the local microclimate. The addition of the basic building coefficient can affect the value of air temperature and the relative humidity level of the air. While the building floor coefficient is strongly related to the regional average wind speed. |
