Abstract |
|
Noise pollution generated from vehicles with its influence on life quality and the environment may be considered as a hot topic in scientific research and one of the main concerns of the world, especially in urban areas, regarded as growing problem of communities. Due to explosion of population, industrialization the transportation in urban has been increased to unimaginary heights. Hence, vehicular traffic has been increased and road traffic noise levels are increased simultaneously. In order to implement effective measures against traffic noise, the information about its distribution in the form of Noise maps is imperative. In this study, Noise mapping using Geographical information system (GIS) has been reviewed. |
