High temperatures in urban areas have severely affected many people in recent years. Therefore, it is essential to understand the spatial distribution of pedestrians and consider thermal and environmental improvements. Thermal environment improvements have focused on public lands, which now also include private lands; however, the extent of their impact remains unknown. Consequently, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of thermal environment improvement measures on public and private lands in Hiroshima City's central area through numerical calculations. The results show that summer pedestrian ratios are higher on southern sidewalks and narrow streets, which are more easily shaded. Thermal environmental improvement measures, including integrated continuous green spaces across both areas, are more effective than separate areas.
