The aim of this study is to evaluate human thermal comfort in different green area settings in the city of Florence by using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Field measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed and black globe thermometer were collected during hot summer days in various parts of Cascine Park, the biggest urban park in Florence (Italy). UTCI was evaluated over different surfaces (asphalt, gravel and grass) completely exposed to the sun or shaded by a large lime tree (Tilia × europaea). The results showed strong differences in UTCI values depending on the exposure to tree shade, while no significant difference was found among ground-cover materials when all surfaces were equally exposed to solar radiation. Future studies are needed to investigate the microclimatic effects of different tree species on UTCI.

The goal of this paper is to present interdisciplinary environmental studies in urban park. Simple measures are proposed here for evaluating the status of vegetation and its habitat. When systematically applied, these measures could be a basis for sustainable management of the park greenery. Studies performed in Skaryszewski Park in Warsaw are as an example. Studies confirmed the assumption that simple and relatively cheap field and laboratory methods could be a good basis for recognising the status of plant habitats in parks.

This paper presents an original study on the encyclical Laudato Si’ (LS) in the context of environmental problems of modern cities and contemporary landscape architecture. The Holy Father’s encyclical provides an inspiring diagnosis and description of the contemporary phenomena which draws on the achievements and findings of various fields of research. In the paper, the author formulates ten themes based on LS in the light of cities’ sustainable development and landscape architecture design. The Pope points out the interdependence between the natural environment and society. A detailed analysis shows that the overtone of the conclusions contained in the document is rather positive: there are other possible scenarios for the urban development and new standards for shaping (or, where necessary, restoring) the urban environment. The author analyses proposals of changes and practical solutions providing inspiration for social, environmental and spatial renewal of modern cities. The author analyses them in the context of contemporary achievements in landscape architecture where one of the most important prospects and future topics is urban landscape restoration.

W pracy zaprezentowano własne badania nad treścią encykliki Laudato si’ (LS) z punktu widzenia problematyki środowiskowej współczesnych miast i architektury krajobrazu. Encyklika Ojca Świętego stanowi inspirującą diagnozę i opis zjawisk, czerpiącą z osiągnięć i ustaleń różnych dziedzin nauki. W pracy sformułowano dziesięć głównych pól tematycznych z Laudato si’, ważnych z punktu widzenia zrównoważonego rozwoju miast i projektów architektury krajobrazu. Głównym tematem encykliki jest współzależność pomiędzy środowiskiem przyrodniczym i społecznym. Przesłane, jakie płynie z zawartych w dokumencie analiz i wniosków, jest pozytywne: możliwe są inne scenariusze rozwoju i zasady kształtowania (a tam, gdzie to konieczne – odtwarzania) środowiska. Wskazano na propozycje zmian i praktycznych rozwiązań, inspirujących dla społecznej, ekologicznej, przestrzennej odnowy miast. Autor analizuje je na tle aktualnych tendencji w architekturze krajobrazu, której jednym z przyszłościowych kierunków jest renaturyzacja krajobrazu miejskiego.
