Many countries around the world have chosen lockdown and restrictions on people’s mobility as the main strategies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. These actions have significantly affected environmental noise and modified urban soundscapes, opening up an unprecedented opportunity for research in the field. In order to enable these investigations to be carried out in a more harmonized and consistent manner, this paper makes a proposal for a set of indicators that will enable to address the challenge from a number of different approaches. It proposes a minimum set of basic energetic indicators, and the taxonomy that will allow their communication and reporting. In addition, an extended set of descriptors is outlined which better enables the application of more novel approaches to the evaluation of the effect of this new soundscape on people’s subjective perception.

“…Problems and challenges arising from the integration of the airport functions in the context of urban space are complex issues (1,2). Airports can have profound effects on land use and activities in the area, which may be economic, developmental, visual, etc (3,4). The environmental impacts of airports are considerable within the local area (5,6).…”

“…Noise as an undesired or harmful sound has short-term effects like sleep disorders (9,10) or increased stress, fatigue, and neural stimulations. It also affects human activities such as learning, working, and sleep quality (3)(4)(5)(6). This means that noise pollution reduces the quality of human life (11,12).…”

Background: Finding the best location for the airport reduces the negative effects of construction and its activity on the environment. This study aimed to evaluate the establishment of the airports (Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports) in Tehran province through integration of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods and noise pollution modeling software. Methods: The criteria for zoning the airports were determined using Delphi method, and then, were weighed using analytic network process (ANP). One of the criteria was noise pollution. The computer aided noise abatement (CadnaA) software was used to map the noise level at the airports. The geographic information system (GIS) software and weighted overlay method were used to zone Tehran province for construction of the airports. The percentage of voice annoyance was defined according to the questionnaire provided by the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN). Results: Prioritization between the selected criteria using ANP and TOPSIS showed that the most important criteria are the land use (0.069) and the distance from the city (0.0598), respectively. The highest percentage of highly annoyed (%HA) persons was reported at both airports at Lden levels above 70 dB. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the location of Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports is considered 60% and 18% inappropriate, respectively. The results introduce a set of criteria that determines compatibility rate of different activities around the airports based on the noise levels. Finally, it is recommended to study the correlation between aircraft noise pollution indicators in other airports of Iran and design a local model for the whole country.

“…Wolfe et al (2014) model the net cost and distribution of environmental damages and state that populations living at airport boundaries face damages of $100-400 per person per year from aircraft noise and between $5-16 per person per year from climate damages (in 2006 dollars). Gasco et al (2017) provide a literature review and shows the increasing importance of communicating noise information from aircraft and the variety of indicators used to communicate with the public. Rodríguez-Díaz et al (2017) review the literature concerning the noise reduction problem around airports from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) perspective.…”

Aim: This paper aims to attract attention to the “green airport” term that is basically related with environmental legislations.Design / Research methods: A Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model is introduced to assess the efficiency of 22 airports in Turkey with the definition of undesirable output as emission values.Conclusions / findings: Results illustrate that only two airports are efficient based on the considered outputs and undesirable output.Originality / value of the article: Up-to-best knowledge, green gas emission data of airports in Turkey are considered in a DEA model for the first time. To minimize the undesirable output, it is considered as a desirable input in the model. Results are expected to support official authorities during decision making.Limitations of the study: Data for noise levels and the exposed area and/or number of exposed people and buildings were not available for the airports in concern.
