Through summertime measurements at selected points, this paper presents the thermal environment data including air temperature and relative humidity, globe temperature and ground suface temperature of pedestrian spaces on Minsheng Road which is a pedestrian street in Nanning, Guangxi, China). The influence of temperature variations in pedestrian passages in front of shops and under arcades, the sun-shaded effect of the street as well as pavement surface temperature on the thermal environment of the arcaded pedestrian streets in the Lingnan hot-humid region is described in the paper. Based on analysis results of measurement data, comfortable thermal environments for arcaded pedestrian paces in the pedestrian streets of the Lingnan region were understood. The existing problems in the thermal environment and thermal comfort of arcaded pedestrian spaces were discussed. Constructive opinions and suggestions were also proposed.
