Popis:	Motives: This paper investigates the urban adaptation elements (vegetation cover, water bodies, and different shading patterns) effect on the outdoor thermal comfort for pedestrians in the educational complexes. Aims: The aim of the research is to determine the impact of urban elements on outdoor thermal comfort in an educational campus with a hot-dry climate, the city of Babylon as an example, The research methodology depends on the ENVI-met program to simulate the case study. Results: The results showed that urban adaptation elements which are the soft components of the environment include (vegetation cover, water bodies, and different shading patterns) can reduce the temperature by about 3 degrees Celsius in addition to reducing the mean radiant temperature by 8 degrees Celsius and reducing the sky view factor (SVF) by 20%.
