Abstract

Noise is the most significant environmental factor affecting the life quality of people. It manifests itself in various ways in living spaces of people. Diversity and level of noise in urban sections increase commonly with the needs and functions. Within this scope, traffic-induced noise constitutes a significant source of noise in living spaces. The present study considered the noise levels of E70 highway which is an extension of Black Sea Highway passing through Ordu city center in Turkey, 4 other parallel intra-city roads. Three time zones were taken and traffic-induced noise levels were measured over these roads. Data were used to compare the roads with regard to noise levels at different time zones of the day. It was observed that there were clear variations between E70 highway and the other roads in city center. The results pointed out that Ordu city was exposed to traffic-induced noise. This report offers the solutions to reduce level of traffic-induced noise.

Karayollarının kent içi trafik gürültüsü düzeyine etkisi: Ordu kent merkezi örneği

Abstract

Gürültü, insanların yaşam kalitesini etkileyen önemli bir çevresel faktördür. İnsanların yaşam alanlarında gürültü farklı şekillerde kendini göstermekle birlikte, kentsel ortamlarda gürültünün çeşitliliği ile boyutu ihtiyaçlar ve fonksiyonlara göre daha da artmaktadır. Bu kapsamda trafikten kaynaklı gürültü, yaşam alanlarındaki önemli gürültü kaynaklarından birisidir. Çalışma; Türkiye’de, Ordu kenti merkezinden geçen ve Karadeniz sahil yolunun devamı niteliğinde olan E70 karayolu ve paralelindeki kent içi yollar olmak 4 farklı yol üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Her yol için günün 3 farklı saat dilimi temel alınarak trafikten kaynaklı gürültü ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler ile yollar kendi aralarında ve günün saatlerine göre karşılaştırılmıştır. E70 karayolu ile mukayese edilen diğer caddeler arasında belirgin bir fark olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar Ordu Kentinin, içerisinden geçen şehirlerarası karayolundan dolayı yoğun bir gürültü kirliliği ile karşı karşıya olduğunu ortaya koymuş olup, bu bağlamda çalışmanın sonucunda gürültüyü azaltmaya yönelik çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.
