Urban ventilation corridor was designed to improve urban air circulation, alleviate urban thermal environment and improve human comfort, has been widely used in cities all over the world. Based on the observation data of meteorological stations, satellite remote sensing data, basic geographic information and urban planning of Pingdingshan city, with the method of mathematical statistics, land surface temperature retrieval, geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques , we analyzed wind environment, urban heat island (UHI), green source and ventilation potential of the city, meanwhile constructed the structure of urban ventilation corridor preliminarily. The results showed that: (1) The dominate wind in Pingdingshan was mainly from northwest, northeast and south. (2) The spatial distribution of UHI was multicenter, and the intensity of UHI decreased from the central city to surrounding area. Urban green source was mainly distributed around the city, which can introduce fresh air into urban center. (3) Based on the comprehensive assessment of urban ventilation potential, urban surface roughness, sky view factor etc., the corridor system of “six main and ten secondary corridors” in Pingdingshan city was constructed.
