Due to global warming and the heat island effect, temperatures are rising, and this is having a negative impact on people’s lives. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures against heat and its effects. The purpose of the study is to analyze actual measures implemented at a local level, in order to understand their effectiveness in large urban areas and to consider further responses. As an example of an urban area, Osaka Prefecture was chosen. This research investigated the specific heat countermeasures taken there, their effects, and the efforts of Osaka Prefectural government. In addition, 31 sites were identified as examples of current heat countermeasures in Osaka Prefecture.
