Acoustics+2



My work is about the problems associated with the sonic pollution of a big city, in this issue we can find many elements that cause it, such as traffic that is the concentration of a large number of vehicles in a space of time, it also causes air pollution by CO2 production, this factor causes a lot of noise due to the impatience of drivers that activate the horn of their vehicles at all times, plus the noise caused by motor vehicles; this problem is accentuated when it occurs throughout the day in the same area as its constantly bothered by noise of vehicles. Another factor is the realization of works on public roads or on land close to residential areas, because the constant noise from a construction or a hydraulic hammer is annoying and uncomfortable and disrupts the performance of daily activities that took out the population. Other element is that due to a city that is experiencing growth throughout their life, will occupy the spaces that were peripheral to his beginnings, so in many cities we can see as around of some airports have been built both single and multi-family dwellings, and this creates an inconvenience for the inhabitants of these spaces, because the airport can not change their activity by the presence of buildings, so you constantly have off and landing aircraft, which produce a huge loud noise, which can also achieve an interruption in daily life and affecting sleeping, eating, etc.. The way to improve this situation is creating constructive and zoning restrictions that don't allow the construction of any type of building in areas near to airports or areas with a similar use; the problem of traffic is more complex, it requires the analysis of urban dynamics in the city and the subsequent implementation of plans to enable better traffic flow along the roads. Finally as regards noise and works, those works should be made in the seasons when the population travels to other places, i.e. in the holidays. To carry out the solution of these problems, the population plays a very important role, because it is always a determining factor for a urban planner to know what they think and what the people of the examinated area want, because in many occasions when they don't give any importance to the people opinion when they are making the plans for the city, many of these plans have been discarded because people don't agree and don't allow to be carried out at their place of dwelling.
