Rapid urban growth due to a constant rise in world population has amplified the need for sustainable design development of cities. Human behavior, a key performance metric of sustainable design, can be rewarding for urban policies and city planning. Due to its complex nature, human behavior prediction and simulation are increasingly challenging. Complexity is associated with multiple factors, among which social and environmental factors are critical, especially in urban conditions with tall buildings that create unique microclimates. Human behavior in this study referred to human spatial behavior. This research hypothesized that the microclimatic variations at seasonal and diurnal levels affect people's behavior in outdoor urban environments. Additionally, interdisciplinary crossover studies on novel methodologies to predict human behavior is becoming popular. Moreover, architects and urban designers are interested in human behavior simulation tools that can help them make informed design decisions through 'what-if' scenarios and assess their designs before execution. This doctoral research investigated the inter-relationship between Outdoor Thermal Comfort (OTC), human behavior, and urban morphology for Plazas in urban conditions with tall buildings and within a specific climate zone. The study focused on two overarching objectives: (1) to present a novel research methodology to investigate and predict OTC-based human behavior in urban conditions; and (2) to develop HuBeSIM - a human behavior simulation framework using an agent-based model (ABM) to simulate OTC integrated human behavior in outdoor spaces. Daley Plaza - an urban public space built-in 1965 in downtown Chicago - was used as (1) a case study to test the feasibility of this research methodology and (2) a pilot study to demonstrate the HuBeSIM framework. The outcome of this study shows a significant impact in the outdoor urban environments with design goals that use human behavior as a key performance indicator. The research contributes to the modeling and simulation of OTC-based human behavior in urban environments to nurture livable communities and sustainable cities.The first part of the dissertation presented a novel research methodology involving data collection through an on-site observational study for behavioral mapping, and microclimatic CFD simulations for OTC index - Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET). The sample data consisted of two seasons, namely summer and fall, with more than 600 observations collected during the three-hour lunchtime period. The second part of the dissertation involved developing a Human Behavior SIMulation (HuBeSIM) framework in the popular computer aided design platform Rhino® and Grasshopper® (GH). This part integrated OTC using physics-based modeling and human behavior using mathematical agent-based modeling to develop a simulation framework for outdoor urban space design.The findings from the observational study revealed a moderate relationship between microclimate and human behavior in the fall, and a weak correlation in summer. The results showed that people's behavior is not affected by PET values above 35°C. The proposed Human Behavior SIMulation framework has a high potential to develop into a comprehensive model by incorporating other behavioral factors. This study contributes to the sustainable built environment design that leads to the environmental, social, and economic upliftment of a city.
