Temperature measurement and analysis of thermal comfort were conducted in three urban components of the Municipality of Medianeira, west of Paraná, which are: Urban Environment, Forest and Agricultural Area, performed with three monitoring points of each environment. The results obtained in the three environments were used in a survey relative to the thermal conditions and the importance of the conservation area which the study refer, the municipal park Tupã Mbae.
