Tartalmi leírás:
During the process of European integration the question arose how a standard
could be created to assess qualitative and quantitative effects deriving
from the development of transport infrastructures. The issue gets an even
higher emphasis in case of valuation the development of large projects which
impact several countries. The main aim of the research was to determine how
much people are bothered, disturbed or annoyed by noise, and then to
establish a correlation between this and their willingness to pay, and the
absolute noise levels. This paper summarizes the survey and its results.
Noise influences people´s well being and standard of living. It is the only
environmental pollution where it is not a polluting material that effects
the body adversely - as it is in the case of air or water pollution -, but
the danger is created by an energy overdose reaching the sensory and data
processing organs. Here we talk about nervous processes and this
characteristic distinguishes noise pollution from all the other
contaminating factors. It has also got to be mentioned that perceiving noise
is very subjective. The reaction of people is largely predetermined by how
they relate to the noise source. Noise annoyance can be determined by
socio-acoustical studies. The essence of these is that they do not only take
into account decibel levels, but attach so called annoyance levels to the
given sound pressure levels.
