Noise Mapping in Hungary and Romania
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2012, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The First round of the noise mapping obligation according to the European Noise Directive (END) has been finished recently. By the end of 2007 all member states should have prepared their noise maps according to the directive and should have send the noise mapping reports of the European Commission. In 2008 the EU Member states will continue the implementation of the END by preparing the action plans in order to reduce the number of affected inhabitants. This paper focuses on the action planning work according to END. The authors present here the comparison of two action plans for mid size cities in Eastern Europe. The two compared cities are Szeged in Hungary and Timisoara in Romania. The two cities are geographically very close cities (80 km) with even having a similar urban built up, one would assume the preparation of similar action plans. In opposite to this the authors found more at first sight minor differences than similarities which turned out in the end to have big influence on the action planning procedures. The authors have carried out strategic action plan for both of the cities in the near past. This paper compares the action planning procedure between the cities. The action plan, and the comparison consist beside the noise reduction possibilities of the cities from a lot of non-noise related issues. The paper presents the comparison and highlights the future urban development plans of the cities to be considered, the financial possibilities and the participation of the public in action planning.
