Abstract—The temperature distributions of various rooftop
region were investigated by measuring major temperature in
several kinds of roof-planting locations during day time in
Incheon city. From the investigations, the temperatures were
very high in concrete material, but temperatures were
decreased in the vegetable pots, flower beds in the same
locations with the increase of planting areas. Theoretical
analysis were made to explain those results.
Index Terms—Vegetable pots, rooftop-planting, temperature.
