台灣各地氣溫預計將持續上升，夏季預計每年將持續155-210天。因此，冬季長度將大幅縮短，未來台灣將面臨更嚴峻的高溫環境。儘管台灣已逐步開始應對氣候變遷和城市高溫問題，但沒有具體的城市高溫實施和法規，也缺乏有效量化或評估都市高溫風險的工具和機制。
台灣現在需要的是一個既能夠明確量化、可以進行通用比較、並且能夠結合當地特色的都市高溫風險評估系統。本研究試圖建立一套可量化的方法，有助於顯示都市高溫風險較高的地區，找到影響最大的因素，以及同時結合「建成環境」與「社會脆弱性」因素的綜合評估。
都市建成環境對於室外熱舒適度和熱壓力風險至關重要。本研究亦針對不同規模的戶外活動的案例進行分析，結果顯示在不同的環境條件下，不同身分的參與者會有不同程度的熱風險，同時也會出現不同的感受以及行為模式，透過更多地了解室外熱舒適性的影響以及相關的感受和行為差異後，我們可以進一步了解室外高溫的具體影響，以及改善調適的建議方向。
本研究選取台中市作為都市熱風險評估的示範區，透過建立定量化、具體化的分類方法，可以1）綜合評估各區在高溫下的表現，2）識別各區的城市高溫風險高特徵，有利於採取適當的高溫緩解措施，3）透過紅、黃、綠燈的分類，辨識出城市高溫風險較高的區域以及未來風險有增加趨勢的區域。
針對未來城市高溫規劃，本研究對《2050年淨零排放戰略》公佈後的“高溫適應淨零排放策略”、“能源轉型”和“公正轉型”的現狀和問題進行了分析和討論。本研究針對「基於自然的解決方案（NBS）」應用初步劃分為四個階段，並針對不同地區「高溫與建成環境」以及「高溫與社會脆弱度」的風險評估結果，提供不同NBS階段的因應建議。

According to the research results, there are two major risks that will affect the world in the next 10 years: "failure to mitigate climate change" and "failure to adapt to climate change". Temperatures across Taiwan are expected to continue to rise, and summer is expected to last for 155-210 days each year. Therefore, the length of winter will be significantly shortened, and Taiwan will face a more severe high temperature environment in the future.

Although Taiwan has gradually begun to address climate change and urban high temperature issues, there are no specific urban high temperature implementations and regulations, and there is a lack of tools and mechanisms to effectively quantify or assess urban high temperature risks.

What Taiwan needs now is an urban heat risk evaluation system that can be quantified and comparable, that can also engage local characteristics. This study attempts to establish a set of quantifiable methods that will help to show the performance among each city in 1) the areas of higher urban heat risks, 2) the factors that affect the most, and 3) the assessment combining "built environment" and "social vulnerability" factors.

Through the analysis of "Urban Compactness", Taiwan's urban compactness classification was defined, and issues of “Compactness and Sustainability”, as well as “Sustainable Compactness and Living Quality” were discussed.

The urban built environment is critical to outdoor thermal comfort and heat stress risks. Case studies of several outdoor activities of different scales show that under different environmental conditions, participants of different identities will have different thermal risks and different thermal perception/behavior patterns. After understanding the impact of outdoor thermal comfort and related differences in feelings and behaviors, we can further analyze the impact of outdoor high temperatures on the "built environment" and "social vulnerability".

Urban high temperature is not just a simple environmental phenomenon, but an important global issue involving environmental sustainability, human well-being, quality of life, and public health. Since outdoor high temperatures will directly affect residents' rights to use space and maintain daily life, this study analyzes and discusses the correlation between urban high temperatures and "Natural Environmental Factors", "Built Environment Factors" and "Social Vulnerability Factors".

Taichung City contains all levels of compactness and also contains a variety of different terrain conditions. This study selected Taichung City as the demonstration target for urban heat risk assessment. By establishing quantitative and specific classification methods, it is possible to 1) comprehensively evaluate the performance of each district under high temperature, 2) identify the high urban heat risk characteristics of each district, which will help to take appropriate heat mitigation responses, and 3) through the classification of red, yellow and green lights, identify areas with higher urban heat risks and areas with a trend of increasing risks in the future.

Regarding future planning for urban high temperatures, this study analyzes and discusses the current status and issues of "Net-zero emission strategies in high-temperature adaptation", "Energy transition" and "Just transition" after the announcement of the "2050 Net-zero Emission Path" in Taiwan. There are four stages for "Nature-Based Solutions (NBS)” application discussed in this study. Taking Taichung City as an example, combined with the risk ranking of influence phases in "Built Environment" and "Social Vulnerability", this study attempts to provide the suggestions for NBS stages that can be adapted for areas with different conditions.
