Risk assessment and mapping methodologies for heat waves as frequently occurring hazards in central and southeastern Europe were applied in this study, and the impact of heat waves on the mortality of urban populations was determined as part of the assessment. The methodology for conducting the heat wave risk assessment is based on European Commiss...

Monitoring and recording large time series of data and making them available for studying-are the key roles of environmental monitoring systems. This study produce review of three different measurement monitoring systems (NSUNET, WAHASTRAT and MERIEXWA) with same design, which were placed during different time frame in the Northern Serbia (Vojvodin...

Abstract An increasing number of urban meteorological networks (UMNs) and automated data acquisition are irreplaceable tools in modern urban climate monitoring, evaluation, and analysis. The most serious issue in such systems is data loss, caused primarily by communication problems between stations and servers. The Novi Sad Urban Network (NSUNET) c...

An urban environment defines a specific micro-climate which directly affects the quality of life in urbanized areas and often has a negative impact on urban populations. Phenomena like urban heat and surface heat islands are direct products of an urban lifestyle. Urban meteorological networks (UMNs) are a tool that can help to better understand and...

A comprehensive analysis of air temperature (Ta) dynamics in "local climate zones" (LCZs) of Novi Sad (Serbia) was based on measurements from 17 stations during 3 years. Hourly changes of Ta , cooling rates (CR), heating rates (HR), and urban heat island (UHI) intensity were assessed on seasonal and annual level and during heat wave (HW) and cold w...

Background Nature-based solutions (NBS) in urban areas offer an opportunity to improve environmental conditions and to reduce CO2 emissions towards establishing climate-neutral cities in the next few decades. Furthermore, the implementation of NBSs—vertical or horizontal green infrastructures on public facilities—could in particular improve both cl...

Thermal comfort assessments at local or micro-scales within urban areas can provide crucial insights for the urban adaptation strategies pertaining to climate-conscious urban planning and public health. However, the availability of long-term or mid-term daily or hourly meteorological data sets from urban environments remains a significant challenge...

Projections of climate change indicate that there will be an increase in the frequency and intensity of rainfall events across Europe (particularly heavy precipitations), and with ongoing urbanization, the problem of pluvial flooding will certainly require more attention. There are currently about 20 completed or active international projects relat...

This data article describes two groups of datasets which capture, firstly - 10-minutes air temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH) data from 27 urban and non-urban sites over a period of 3.5 years covering 2014–2018; and secondly - hourly Ta data from 12 urban sites over a period of 2 years covering 2016 and 2017. Both datasets are from urban m...

In the last one or one and a half decade the urban climate monitoring has growing rapidly by deployment the Urban meteorological networks (UMNs) in the cities worldwide. These UMNs, that represented from a dozen to few hundred stations with various sensor types, mostly monitored local level climate conditions, but during the time their datasets sta...

To improve the urban environment in general and contribute to the greening of urban areas in the cities of Central and Southeastern Europe, an international project was implemented in the period 2019-2022. The GReENERGY project is an international/cross-border project that is implemented in Europe, with the aim to improve the environmental conditio...

Due to the intensive growth of the city population, and thus the very intensive process of urbanization, in the last few decades, there is a need to establish a concept that would enable further development of society, but on the principles of sustainability and in accordance with nature-based solutions. High environmental pressure in urban areas i...

This dataset captures hourly air temperature data from 12 urban sites in Novi Sad (Serbia) over a period of 2 years covering 2016 and 2017. There are 2 datasets in the collection: one dataset provides details about the 12 sites at which the temperature sensors are placed (Table 1, excel file), while the second file contains air temperature data at...

Increased temperature risk in cities threatens the health and well-being of urban population and is fueled by climate change and intensive urbanization. Consequently, further steps must be taken for assessing temperature conditions in cities and their association with public health, in order to improve public health prevention at local or regional...

This study aims to investigate how national parks, identified as remarkable and, therefore , worthy of the trip, are visited and experienced. The main objective of this study was to explore the influence of memorable tourism experiences on environmentally responsible behavior, satisfaction , and behavioral intentions as its outcome. By giving an ac...

Most of the world’s population now lives in urban areas that have different urban climates and environmental characteristics with elevated temperatures, frequent heat stress, and air pollution due to urbanization and climate change. These processes affect the daily lives of citizens worldwide, however, detailed spatial and temporal meteorological a...

Assessment of climate in urban environments strongly relies on the quality and resolution of meteorological data. Intensive urbanization processes in urban environments affect and modify local climates so the traditional weather stations located on the outskirts of the urban areas can hardly be considered in the analysis of local climate. Technolog...

This study aims to investigate spatial and temporal dynamics and relationship between air temperature and five air humidity parameters (relative humidity, water vapor pressure, absolute humidity, specific humidity, and vapor pressure deficit) in Novi Sad, Serbia, based on two-year data (Dec 2015-Dec 2017). The analysis includes different urban area...

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation and pluvial flood occurrences in urban areas of Central Europe, as well as in cities of Hungary and Republic of Serbia. Thus, we proposed project named “Monitoring, forecasting and development of online public early warning system for extreme precipitations and pluv...

Due to the increased frequency and intensity of the disaster events over the globe in the past few decades, the need for the advances in Disaster Risk Management discipline also increased. As the main goal of disaster risk experts is to prevent occurrence or reduce the impact of a disaster, monitoring systems for prompt detection of disaster become...

AIIT 2019, International conference on applied Internet and information technologies

We present the first comprehensive study of air temperature (T a) dynamics in seven Local Climate Zones (LCZs) of Novi Sad (Serbia) based on measurements from 17 stations during 3-year period (2014-2017). LCZs temperature dynamics were analyzed on seasonal and annual level and during heat and cold wave periods. Stations are located in six built-up...

In the last five years more than 30 articles have been published in scientific journals and conferences focused on urban climate research in Novi Sad. These researches were led by members from the Climatology and Hydrology Research Centre at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad (Republic of Serbia), together with demographers, architects...

Urban climate monitoring system (UCMS) was established in Novi Sad (Serbia) in 2014 based on the Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification system, GIS model calculations and field work. Seven built and two land cover LCZ types were delineated and 27 stations equipped with air temperature and relative humidity sen- sors were distributed across all L...

This paper presents development and implementation of an automated urban climate monitoring system in mid-sized European city Novi Sad (Vojvodina, Serbia). The urban climate monitoring network contains 27 stations (25 in urban area and 2 in non-urbanized environment). To determine the representativeness station cites we used Stewart-Oke Local Clima...
