Abstract
The research aimed to identify environmentally-conscious factors affecting urban street microclimate compromising individuals' respiratory health. Thirty two environmentally-conscious factors have been investigated clustered into three clusters; Geometry, Meteorological, and Streetscape. Among thirty two factors, street orientation, material of ground and facades, distance to the sea, dust and atmospheric particles, air pollution, vegetation, and traffic load factors significantly compromise respiratory health. Wind speed received the highest risk severity value (0.44) among other factors; in contrast, Dust and atmospheric particles absorbed the lowest value (0.07). Risk severity matrix shows wind speed is located in high-risk zone and other factors in moderate-risk zone.
