Mesoscale

Regional planning is an important element of the mechanism of market transformation in the economy of the region based on information technology management. The content of the plans is largely determined by the scenario of its development. However, it is necessary to determine the specifics of organizational support and the choice of a scenario for market transformation at the mesoscale. The objective of the research is to determine the specifics of organizational support and choose a scenario for market transformation at the mesoscale. Based on a study of the results of the implementation of the scenario of economic development, the main causes and trends of the regional economy are identified, and regulatory measures in the region are proposed. On the example of the regions of Ukraine, three possible scenarios of the scenario were formed in the near future: innovative, raw, paternalistic. The main criteria for all scenarios is the development of energy-saving technologies; the formation of a middle class that will ensure the modernization of social infrastructure, the development of education and health care, the improvement of the environment, the creation of an effective housing and communal economy and the beginning of the movement towards civil society.

The level of satisfaction with an environment differs among individuals, which may be caused by social, psychological and physical factors. One of the environmental factors affecting physical and mental satisfaction, is the thermal condition of space. In recent years, the importance of thermal comfort has been accentuated due to the climate change and global warming, increasing the number of studies performed on this subject around the world. The objective of the present study is to identify the main concepts raised in Iran about outdoor thermal comfort by studying and classifying the studies in this field and then by identifying the characteristics of each distinguished category of studies. Thus, this study reviews 142 papers written in Iran that were published in the period between 1999 and 2017. The papers are first classified into two main categories (including fundamental studies on thermal comfort and practical studies) and three secondary categories that are subsets of the second main category (including macroscale, mesoscale, and microscale studies). Each category is then studied and analyzed in more details according to the regions and climates considered, methodology and research means, effective factors and thermal indices used for evaluation. Accordingly, strengths and weaknesses of previous studies are identified and suggestions for future studies on the microclimate scale have been made. Eventually, the conceptual model of thermal comfort studies is presented in different climatic scales.
