Heat Stress Analysis Using Discomfort Index Method: Impact on Macro-Environmental in Yogyakarta

A growing urban development pattern can have both positive and negative impacts, one of them is thermal discomfort in the form of heat stress. Heat stress is the maximum condition of the human body to receive heat exposure to various activities. This study aims to analyze thermal comfort in Yogyakar...
