Urban climate is one of important aspects for urban planning. Especially in Japan, we have an originally hot and humid climate. Therefore, this factor has to be taken into consideration in the planning processes. But, stakeholders cannot consider urban climate in planning process, because urban climate is difficult to understand for non-expert.Therefore we are proposing the Urban Environmental Climate Map for urban planning. The role of this map is to provide the some information from the urban climate expert to the place of decision making. So, the purpose of this map is to support decision. On the Urban Environmental Climate Map, the essence of climate research output is described. When stakeholders make decision, they can use this map as a communication tool. In this paper, we discuses the framework of Urban Environmental Climate Map, and shows the example of applications of this map to the community planning workshop.
