44th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering, INTER-NOISE 2015, California, United States Of America, 9 - 12 August 2015, (Full Text)
One of the problems brought about by the developing technology is noise from airports. This problem results from a variety of sources, threatens human health, and targets developed and developing countries. At this point, one of the largest sources of environmental noise is airports. Noise mapping can be used to define as the disturbance of population who lives in a specified territory and the assessment of the environmental noise to which that population is exposed. Considering the environment, which is developing and changing, studies on noise mapping should be renewed every five years. The aim of this study is to prevent random increases in new housing around the Sabiha Gokcen Airport and, by doing so, define where the boundaries of settlements should be located according to noise and develop master plans to be used by urban planners. Moreover, the noise mapping of the area can be used to identify sound isolation of new housing that would be needed to comply with the legal regulations. Mappings which are obtained by SoundPlan computer simulation program shows zones that are affected by aircraft noise with levels from 50 to 85 dBA. Additionally, the percentage of buildings which are located in danger zones according to regulations during for the day, evening and night, are obtained and the amount of population that was affected by the noise is determined.
