摘要 The objective of this study is to investigate the factors that contribute to brittleness and to identify strategies for mitigating these factors in populations with varying degrees of thermal vulnerability, based on the potential impact of extreme heat exposure on human survival and habitability. The physiological condition of lower adaptability to high temperature environments and the assessment of individuals who may have higher tolerance time in high temperature environments based on spatial perspectives suggest the need for targeted spatial optimization strategies for commuters and disadvantaged populations. This is demonstrated through a case study. These optimization measures encompass a variety of aspects, including the integration of transportation systems, the expansion of grey space corridors, the improvement of green space layout, and the implantation of green infrastructure. The study aims to reduce the exposure time of thermally vulnerable individuals to high temperature environments through spatial optimization strategies, to enhance the resilience of urban green spaces to heat stress, and to reduce the probability of heat-wave occurrence.
