Increasing attention has been paid to outdoor environmental quality in recent years, especially for the community residential areas. Related standards have been developed for the design and planning of communities both at home and abroad. This study simulated the air flow and temperature of a community residence to evaluate geographical dimensions and climate conditions of the area, to determine the tropical characteristics and associated problems of ecological community, and to formulate strategies for improving heat island effect in community residences, thereby providing designers with reference for design evaluation and improvement, we hoped to determine the features of urban heat island and the potential to cool it down. This research also used the computational fluid dynamics as the simulation research tool to compare and analyze simulation results and evaluate the cooling efficiency of each improvement strategy. Partly from the research results, it was observed that through the increase and decrease in the proportion between the planting area and the water area in the field, the temperature of the thermal environment area in the community attained was lowered by 27.03% when the water area increased by 5% in the entire community.
