Within the framework of thermal comfort studies in public spaces in arid urban environments, the UTCI index is calculated in a sample of green spaces (EVU) and road canals (CVU), in the current and improved scenario, as a validation of bioclimatic indicators obtained by the Executing Unit (INEAA). ENVI-met is used to micrometeorologically simulate the samples and obtain the calculation variables of the UTCI. In the case of UVCs, UTCI decrements of between 0.3 degrees C and 9.3 degrees C are generated. It is observed that, with a higher H/W ratio, the UTCI value increases and that with a higher value of the Heat Island, the importance of the alignment trees increases as well. For EVUs, the UTCI difference in minus is between 0.4 degrees C to 3.0 degrees C. It is concluded that, by applying specific bioclimatic indicators of arid zones, the bioclimatic comfort conditions of the population improve.
