IMPORTANT FACTOR IN GENERATING ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE TERRITORIES ADJACENT TO HIGHWAYS

Abstract

As things stand today, most of acoustic studies have been focused on predicting the pattern of noise and analyzing the related factors such as various types of noise protection installations, noise transmission, housing density, building position and landscaping. At the same time, the acoustic environment studies are directly linked to the main urban structures (the so-called urban morphology) comprising the coordinated open spaces, buildings and residential areas. An important element of assessing the expected level of the environment acoustic pollution appears to be the experience of implementing planned and project documents. The given article deals with the problem of street lines [1] (red lines). These lines became widely used at designing residential and public buildings in areas adjacent to highways, urban and city-wide roads. Due to this fact the legal and technical aspects in transforming the area introduce certain difficulties. The presented article is concerned with the circumstances of applying street (red) lines in urban transportation area from the viewpoint of its acoustic impact on adjacent territories.
