Abstract
The climate change urgency has become an underlying condition when planning and designing urban areas, both new and already built. In recent years, nature-based solutions (NBSs) and other associated measures have become increasingly researched as plausible pathways to reach urban heat resilience that answer the environmental, social, and economic demands of an urban setting conditioned by the dynamic impacts of climate change, especially the phenomena of urban heat islands (UHIs). As the relevance of the topic is on the rise, so is the plurality of measures and approaches developed to provide a functional solution. This opens an opportunity to develop a decision-assisting tool that would make the selection process of an appropriate solution easier.
Based on a relationship between specific urban conditions and the desired impact on climate change threats through connection with ecosystem services (ESSs), an interaction matrix linking NBSs with ESSs for each specific Urban Atlas Land Use Land Cover (LULC) class is developed
