Abstract

This study emphasizes the critical role of air conditioning (AC) in preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. The challenge of limited geographic coverage and outdated AC availability data hampers effective heat risk mapping and prevention efforts. We identified areas with significant AC needs and examined factors related to AC ownership in Florida, U.S. Local Indicators of Spatial Association results displayed distinct AC ownership disparities, with high-high clusters in coastal and metropolitan areas and AC-deficient clusters inland. Vulnerable urban communities, predominantly inhabited by marginalized groups, had limited to no AC availability. The Spatial Durbin Model results revealed a significant correlation between AC ownership and socioeconomic and urban factors. Notably, a higher proportion of AC-deficient households were in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, underscoring racial disparities in AC ownership. These findings provide valuable insights for targeted interventions to mitigate heat-related risks and adapt to evolving climate conditions in vulnerable neighborhoods.

美国佛罗里达州空调拥有量的空间差异
这项研究强调了空调在预防热相关疾病(如中暑和中暑)方面的关键作用。有限的地理覆盖和过时的空调可用性数据的挑战阻碍了有效的热风险测绘和预防工作。我们确定了佛罗里达州空调需求显著的地区,并检查了与空调拥有率相关的因素。美国地方空间关联指标的结果显示,空调拥有率存在明显差异,沿海和大都市地区的空调拥有率较高,而内陆地区的空调拥有率较低。主要由边缘群体居住的脆弱城市社区的空调供应有限,甚至没有。空间Durbin模型结果显示,空调拥有量与社会经济因素和城市因素之间存在显著相关性。值得注意的是,AC缺陷家庭的比例较高,主要是在非洲裔美国人社区,强调了AC所有权的种族差异。这些发现为有针对性的干预措施提供了有价值的见解,以减轻与热相关的风险,并适应脆弱社区不断变化的气候条件。
