The thermal comfort of users, when experienced within acceptable standards, contributes to the use of green areas in urban environments, both for circulation and for leisure. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the thermal comfort of users of the campus of Federal University of Mato Grosso/Cuiaba, at different types of soil covering and near arboreous vegetation. Measurements of micrometeorological variables were performed on campus. Initially four points that presented different types of floor covering, named soil, grass, concrete and asphalt were chosen on campus. Data were recorded for 43 continuous days in two seasons: hot -wet and hot-dry during the year of 2012. The data recorded during the day in the shade of mango tree (Mangiferaindica) found the lowest values of dry bulb temperatures (Tbs), compared to other places averages with different types of surfaces. The thermal perception “neutral or comfortable”, measured by Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), happened only at night from 19h to 07h. The grass surface presented comfortable thermal sensation, which may serve as indicator to increase spaces with this type of surface instead waterproof surfaces. As a result, it was observed in decision trees the preference, in the wet warm season, the variable “place” in both PET indices, highlighting the mango tree and grass surface in one group, and concrete and asphalt surfaces in another, while in the hot dry season, was indicated the wind speed as the main variable, and the variable “place” at the secondary level. Therefore, only at night it is possible to achieve the thermal comfort range. In the daytime, at shade of the mango tree, PET is much lower than at other measuring points, in both measurement periods, reaching a maximum of 35.4 °C at 15h in the second period. These findings might confirm the importance of providing shade in open spaces, and the choice, when possible, of grass surfaces (Paspalumnotatun) instead of soil, concrete or asphalt surfaces, and that concrete can be preferred over asphalt because have higher thermal exchanges in tropical climates. The percentage of comfortable and tolerable for the researched site was high, indicating a strong adaptation of users to the climate of Cuiabá/MT.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
