As climate change intensifies, recognizing the limitations of mitigation policies and addressing unavoidable loss and damage has become a pressing concern. Among the various impacts, the damage caused by urban heatwaves is increasing annually, resulting in a significant number of casualties worldwide. However, quantitative assessments of how individual citizens perceive the usefulness of heatwave adaptation facilities are limited. Furthermore, no prior research has examined the perceived efficacy of these facilities based on the severity of urban heatwaves. This study aims to analyze preferences for six types of heatwave adaptation facilities (shade structures, street trees, cooling fog systems, green walls, rooftop gardens, and cool roofs) based on socio-economic indicators such as age, gender, education level, income, and housing type, as well as behavioral indicators like heat sensitivity, outdoor activity time, primary modes of transportation, and key adaptive behaviors. Various clustering techniques were employed to identify distinct patterns in facility preferences, and the socio-economic and behavioral characteristics of these clusters were examined. Additionally, statistical analysis was conducted to determine if there are significant differences in facility preference patterns across different age groups, which serve as key indicators of urban infrastructure preferences.
The findings of this study provide valuable decision-making support information that can be utilized in the formulation of current and future adaptation policy strategies. Potential applications of these findings for enhancing the effectiveness of adaptation policies are also proposed.
