Analysis of technical criticalities for GIS modelling an Urban noise map

2017

This paper analyzes criticalities and strengthens of a procedure used to model the acoustic map of the vehicular traffic of an urban agglomeration. The research is based on a pilot project for the acoustic mapping of a portion of the city of Palermo (Italy). Simulations indicate that the acoustic climate was in line with expectations and with typical of large Italian cities. The most remarkable result was obtained by an increase in the number of reflections (from two to five), while the influence of the height of the building (from 9 to 18 meters) was negligible – on the order of a few points per thousand. Regarding the analysis conducted with the ‘Gden Method’, acoustic values do not diver…

A social survey on the effects of environmental noise on the residents of Pamplona, Spain

1998

Abstract An extensive noise survey carried out in the city of Pamplona, Spain over 2 years has allowed us to elaborate a detailed daytime acoustic map of this city. The degree of noise annoyance in the community and its relationship with the measured noise levels has also been studied by means of a social survey.
