Critical Study of Road Traffic Noise and Land uses of Larkana City
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Land-use activities and transportation activities play an important role in function of city. Landuse planning is a most important factor of urban environment and management of cities, which provides legal framework for future development and improvement of urban environment. In this study, Larkana city was selected as the study area where the goal and objectives were achieved. The goal is to find sustainable development approach in planning cities to reduce road traffic noise pollution at Larkana City. The objectives are the study of current road network system along with traffic characteristics, traffic flow volume and land use pattern. Second, is to monitor the traffic noise level at various points of the city. The methodology of this study was accomplished in main following stages, which are literature review, traffic noise data was collected by using Digital Sound level Meter (AR824) and flow of traffic volume was collected by survey. These results may be useful inputs in the planning of accessible transportation and implementation sustainable land use planning in Larkana city.
