Analysis of systematic measurements of noise in cities

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the reports on systematic measurements of noise in several Serbian cities. The analysis considered the contents of the report, type and number of data which are presented in the reports (noise level, the description of measurement, measurement conditions, etc.). The analysis was made from the point of application of standards SRPS ISO 1996-1:2010 and SRPS ISO 1996-2:2010. Chart review indicates which data are presented in individual reports. In order to provide unification of measurements and presentation of the results, a minimum content of the report is proposed. The analysis includes a critical review of the possibilities of application of the obtained data for implementation of control points in noise maps. Besides, in the paper are shown the activities which were carried out by local governments on basis of the reports.
