One search of the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences (FFLCH) of USP revealed significant differences of temperature between neighborhoods noble and peripheral the city of São Paulo . THE search Used the Municipal Human Development Index (HDI) and the Paulista Index of Social Vulnerability (IPVS) to map the Socio -spatial inequalities correlating them with the microclimatic variations .
The study, which compared Jardim Paulista, a noble neighborhood of the West Zone, and Vila Jacuí, peripheral region of the East Zone, found variations up to 8.8 ° C during the summer highlighting the impact of Urban Inequality node thermal comfort .
To map the Socio -spatial inequalities in São Paulo the Municipal Human Development Index (HDI) was used to measure the quality of life in the 32 subprefectures.

The research analyzed the microclimatic variations at internal and external points of a urban park seeking to understand how Urban Morphology influence temperature and the humidity . The format of the neighborhoods, the building materials, the afforestation and the spacing between lots are factors that contribute to the microclimatic changes
THE Paulista Index of Social Vulnerability (IPVS) It was also employed to analyze data at the district level. The Paulista Garden, with MHDI 0.942, and Vila Jacuí, with MHDI 0.736, were selected for comparison, presenting significant differences in its urban landscapes, including the level of afforestation .
THE afforestation crucial factor for the thermal comfort presented great discrepancy between the analyzed neighborhoods. While Jardim Paulista has more shaded areas, Vila Jacuí has greater constructive density.
THE surface temperature mapping revealed that areas with temperatures higher coincided with the regions of MHDI lower.
