Abstract

Noise pollution is among the most prominent environmental problems encountered in every aspect of daily life. The effect of noise pollution is the cause of a variety of serious health hazards. Special care should be taken to prevent noise pollution especially in areas which are sensitive to noise such as hospitals, parks, and educational institutions. One such area is the university campus; however, very little research has been conducted on this subject. In the present study, noise levels were measured on the Ataturk University campus in Erzurum, Turkey. Results of the study revealed that the average noise level was 62.70 dB(A) exceeding 55 dB(A), which is an average permitted value. A map was created to indicate the noise levels throughout the campus. This map is available for use as a reference in the planning phases of new universities. Noise mitigation should be considered in the planning phases of new university campuses.
大学(教育)校园噪声污染的测定——以阿塔图尔克大学为例
噪音污染是日常生活中遇到的最突出的环境问题之一。噪声污染的影响是造成各种严重的健康危害的原因。应特别注意防止噪音污染,特别是在对噪音敏感的地区,如医院、公园和教育机构。大学校园就是这样一个地方;然而,关于这个问题的研究很少。在本研究中,在土耳其埃尔祖鲁姆的阿塔图尔克大学校园内测量了噪音水平。研究结果显示,平均噪音水平为62.70分贝(A),超过55分贝(A)的平均允许值。我们制作了一张地图来显示整个校园的噪音水平。这张地图可作为新大学规划阶段的参考。在新大学校园的规划阶段,应考虑减低噪音。

期刊介绍: Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance. The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
