“…Development of the transportation network, proliferation of motor vehicles, widespread mechanization and failures in protecting densely populated residential areas from noise due to unplanned rapid urbanization cause many problems in terms of public health. Noise pollution has been reported to be a major problem especially for those living in big cities (Bermúdez et al 2019 ; Garg et al 2017 ; Kalawapudi et al 2020 ; Vladimir and Madalina 2019 ). Traffic, industry, construction, etc., in cities are the main source of noise pollution (Cueto et al 2017 ; Kephalopoulos et al 2014 ; Khodaei et al 2009 ; Morel 2016 ; Morley et al 2015 ; Yilmaz and Ozer 2005 ).…”

In this study, it is aimed to determine and map the noise pollution levels in Safranbolu District Center, especially in the regions where motor vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic is intense. Forty-seven measurement points were selected for noise level measurements at the district center. Measurements were conducted at morning (8 a.m.–10 a.m.), lunchtime (12 p.m.–2 p.m.) and evening (6 p.m.–8 p.m.) hours of weekdays and weekends throughout the seasons of summer 2017 and winter 2018. The summer season weekdays noise level ranges from 41.3 to 71.2 dBA in the morning period, 40 to 71.2 dBA in the noon period and 40.6 to 73.1 dBA in the evening. The summer season weekend noise level ranges from 45.3 to 69.1 dBA in the morning period, 44.7 to 71.4 dBA in the noon period and 41.6 to 70.9 dBA in the evening. The result showed that the level of summer season weekday and weekend noise pollution in the morning, noon and evening is close to each other. In addition, the winter season weekdays noise level ranges from 32.3 to 68.5 dBA in the morning period, 30.8 to 73.3 dBA in the noon period and 37.4 to 72.9 dBA in the evening. The winter season weekend noise level ranges from 37.2 to 65.8 dBA in the morning period, 40 to 71.3 dBA in the noon period and 40.5 to 69.7 dBA in the evening. The result showed that the level of winter season weekdays and weekend noise pollution in the noon is generally higher than morning and evening. The obtained data are compared with the limit values specified in the Environmental Hazard Assessment and Management Regulation. The hazardous noise level, which is considered as the threshold for causing physiological problems on humans, was determined to be exceeded at many locations. This situation may cause significant negative consequences on human health, quality of life and tourism sector. Obtained data were processed, and noise pollution levels for the city of Safranbolu were mapped using a geostatistical analysis software. In total, 16 noise pollution maps were drawn for different situations (e.g., weekdays, weekend, daytime, noon, night, summer season, winter season, etc.). Obtained noise level results demonstrate that the overall quality of the acoustic environment in our study area was medium level, which means that exposure to these levels over a long period can affect human health and quality of life. Finally, the results of a survey conducted as a part of this study were given, and possible measures and suggestions to reduce these noise levels in the district down to the desired limit values were discussed.

“…En el Perú, el Decreto Supremo Nº 085-2003-PCM da a conocer sobre diversas zonas en las cuales se reglamenta los Estándares Nacionales de Calidad Ambiental para el ruido; de acuerdo a zonas monitoreadas, se identificó zonas comerciales y zonas de protección especial; en la zona comercial la presión sonora permitida es de 70 dBA como máximo, en las zonas de protección especial el límite máximo de presión sonora es 50 dBA; los resultados obtenidos de sonido en zonas de protección especial como el Colegio Ventura Ccalamaqui y Hospital Barranca Cajatambo superaron los 50 dB, así como en algunos horarios en la zona comercial de Polvos Azules (70 dB); la contaminación sonora influiría de manera negativa en la actividades y salud de las personas (Münzel & Daiber, 2018;Vienneau et al, 2015), sin embargo en el Frontis de Supermercado Metro los niveles sonoros permanecieron por debajo del límite máximo con excepción de las 3 pm durante algunos días de la semana. Ante los altos niveles sonoros, las autoridades deben considerar estrategias para reducir la contaminación sonora, por ejemplo ayudaría bastante la emisión de una ordenanza municipal para que los conductores reduzcan el uso de bocinas (claxon) en los vehículos motorizados; otra estrategia sería quizás que a futuro las urbanizaciones se diseñen con la inclusión de árboles y parques ya que está demostrado que su presencia disminuye el sonido (Ow & Ghosh, 2017;Vladimir & Madalina, 2019;Yuan et al, 2019).…”

Diversas publicaciones, reportan efectos dañinos por contaminación sonora siendo de importancia médica y social; que provocan en las personas efectos como estrés, ansiedad, problemas cardiovasculares, deterioro cognitivo y disminucion del estado fisico entre otros. El objetivo de la investigación fue monitorear el sonido in situ en la ciudad de Barranca, Lima – Perú e identificar los decibeles al cual estarían sometidos algunas zonas de protección especial y comercial. El registro de sonido se realizó con un sonometro, en los frontis de instituciones educativas, centros de salud, y zonas comerciales. Los resultados mostraron que el nivel sonoro superó el límite máximo tolerable de 50 dB establecido en el Decreto Supremo Nº 085-2003-PCM, en las zonas de protección especial como el Colegio Ventura Ccalamaqui y Hospital de Barranca Cajatambo y zonas mixtas como mercado y centro comercial. En conclusión, la contaminación sonora en las zonas evaluadas en la ciudad de Barranca, supera los límites máximos establecidos, obteniéndose máximos de 79,32±2,07 dB, sobre todo el primer día laborable en inicio de semana; los altos niveles sonoros provocarían consecuencias negativas en la salud.

“…On the other hand, in some of the noisiest areas of the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, urban development trends were studied in order to increase acoustic comfort, both in residential and non-residential areas. The main innovation of that study is the approach with respect to the problem of noise, they focus on general urban planning in which the propagation and attenuation of noise was considered, with respect to the shape of the buildings and the orientation of the streets, the importance of building new parks, and building earth embankments; all this in order to reduce the impact of noise on citizens outside and inside their homes [22]. Similarly ManYuan, et al [23], addressed in a case study in the city of Wuhan, China, the mitigation of noise pollution to ensure sustainable development in cities, mainly taking into account the characteristics of the built environment and the noise levels, as well as its association with land cover, land use and urban form.…”

Introduction:This article shows the evaluation of environmental noise around the medical centers located in the UPZ Americas and Kennedy Central - Bogotá, and the proposal of some actions related to the planning of the territory as a strategy for mitigation. Problem:The Kennedy town has presented high levels of environmental noise, which is a worrying aspect due to its correlation with the effects on people's health. Objective:This research was conducted for the purpose of compiling updated information on environmental noise in the Kennedy locality and evaluating regulatory compliance and identifing the phenomena to establish actions that lead to its mitigation. Methodology:The measurement process was guided under the guidelines of ISO 1996:1 and the parameters established in Res. 627/2006 of the Ministry of Environment. Results:The ambient noise levels exceed the maximum permissible limits (55 dB) on the different days and hours of measurement. It was also determined that this phenomenon is mainly related to high vehicular flow as well as formal and informal commercial activities around medical centers. Conclusion:There is no regulatory compliance in relation to environmental noise and the territorial plan established in the UPZ. The suggested actions are: use of parks to plant native trees that act as biological barriers, non-use of surrounding streets as secondary traffic roads and reorganization of trade activities. Originality:Updated environmental noise data was obtained around medical centers in Kennedy and problems of inappropriate growth and development were identified. Limitations:Lack of information on environmental noise measurements in other sectors of the area.
