Harmful Effects

Due to the acceleration of scientific and technological progress in the word, the level of traffic flows, industrialization, thenumber of automotive and technical equipment of the urban economy has increased, as a result of which people are constantlyexposed to high-intensity noise. However, few people know that, by its effect on the human body, noise is more harmful thanchemical pollution. Constant exposure to noise not only reduces hearing, but also causes other harmful effects – ringing in theears, dizziness, headache, increased fatigue. People working in noisy conditions have an increased level of neuropsychiatricdisorders.The article discusses the algorithm for evaluative mapping of noise pollution in the settlement area, which will ensurebringing the city territory to sanitary standards. The resulting noise map, which should be part of the master plan, captures thecurrent and future state of the noise regime in the city. Accurate noise maps require the analysis of large number of differentnoise sources and, as a result, are very costly, although in most cases only an estimate of the noise loading is required.Therefore, it is advisable to build a hierarchy of noise sources and take into account the most significant. Such the mostsignificant source of noise in settlements, as a rule, is a road network - streets and lanes on which movement of auto transport isallowed. The procedure for creating a geospatial model of noise pollution in the environment of a geographic information systemdescribed in the article includes creating a multibuffer for each noise source, translating the resulting vector image into a rastersurface, superposition of individual object noise rasters, and creating an integrated evaluated map. Formed ways to improve thenoise situation based on the results.

Noise pollution is one of the growing issues in our cities. Every day the streets are full of vehicles of all kinds and works using noisy machinery; it seems difficult to find a quiet area that away from this acoustic environment. Presently, multiple studies are being carried out in the area of engineering in order to be able to attenuate the causes of this noise pollution, in order to improve citizens’ lives. Nevertheless, are cars the only cause of the noise in the city? Are there other noise sources that may affect the quality of life of the citizens? What defines a city as heavily polluted or not? Maybe it can be assumed that truck noise is annoying and that it contributes to noise pollution, while the sound of birds does not and it is pleasant for people. This paper pretends to analyze the physical parameters that allow us to define if any sound causes annoyance, taking into account its acoustic environment. To do this, a specific case will be analysed; we will study three locations measured in Andorra La Vella and Escaldes-Engordany. The audio recordings will be studied deeply, and compared one to the other using data from two different days and all day schedule. We will finally evaluate the annoyance of each location using parameters such as loudness, sharpness and roughness, and taking into account both day and time, as well as giving details about the several types of sound labelled in each recording.

Os artigos científicos cada vez mais argumentam sobre as interações entre a sociedade e natureza, principalmente, sobre os efeitos nocivos que algumas atividades antrópicas vêm causando ao meio ambiente e ao próprio homem. Os ambientes naturais encontravam-se em estado de equilíbrio até o momento em que o homem passou a explorar cada vez mais os recursos naturais, com objetivo de atender seus interesses e necessidades. Neste contexto que o objetivo deste trabalho se enquadra em analisar os impactos ambientais das indústrias cerâmicas e propor medidas mitigadoras para tais atividades em Cordeirópolis/SP, município integrante do polo cerâmico de Santa Gertrudes/SP. Para alcançar estes resultados os procedimentos metodológicos foram divididos em etapas: 1 – Trabalhos de gabinete; 2 – Levantamento de dados; 3 – Georreferenciamento; 4 – Aplicação do Sistema de Informação Geográfica, neste caso o ArcGis 10.3; 5 – Trabalhos de campo. Assim, o trabalho faz um diagnóstico dos danos ambientais e sociais que a atividade cerâmica causa em Cordeirópolis/SP, dentre os impactos destaca-se: retirada da cobertura vegetal; poluição da água e do ar; e poluição sonora; além disso, propõe-se medidas que possam minimizar os efeitos destes impactos como: instalação de bacias de decantação de finos; implantar uma cortina vegetal; umectação das vias de circulação; e reciclagem dos produtos utilizados.Palavras-chave: Recursos naturais; indústrias cerâmicas; impactos ambientais; polo cerâmico.AbstractScientific articles increasingly argue about the interactions between society and nature, especially about the harmful effects that some anthropic activities have been causing to the environment and to man himself. Natural environments were in a state of equilibrium until the time when man began to explore more and more natural resources in order to meet his interests and needs. In this context, the objective of this work is to analyze the environmental impacts of the ceramic industries and to propose mitigating measures for such activities in Cordeirópolis/SP, a municipality in the Santa Gertrudes/SP ceramic pole. To achieve these results the methodological procedures were divided into stages: 1 - Cabinet work; 2 - Data collection; 3 - Georeferencing; 4 - Application of the Geographic Information System, in this case ArcGis 10.3; 5 - Fieldwork. Thus, the work makes a diagnosis of the environmental and social damages that the ceramic activity causes in Cordeirópolis/SP, among the impacts it stands out: removal of the vegetal cover; water and air pollution; and noise pollution; in addition, it is proposed measures that can minimize the effects of these impacts such as: installation of fine settling basins; implant a plant curtain; wetting of roadways; recycling of the products used.Keywords: Natural resources; ceramic industries; environmental impacts; ceramic pole.

Due to the increasing number of cars, industrial machines and mechanisms to date, over 60% of people living in cities, daily exposed to excessive noise. The aim is to study the problem of noise pollution urboecosystem of Lviv and finding effective methods to combat with noise. Identified sources, the main characteristics and ways of dealing with the harmful effects of noise pollution. Established magnitude of noise burden on certain streets and filed a comprehensive assessment of the acoustic load of the city. A performance experiments noise which generated of motor vehicles when driving on different stretches of road near two intersections – st. Franko – Green and Levitsky – Tershakovciv. Near the street. Franko during bilateral traffic and trams bilateral traffic noise performance of road transport accounted 75,7dBA +/– 3.2. By reducing the transport speed to 6–10 km/h performance noise constituted 70,4dBA +/– 2.5. Indicators of noise on the Levitsky street during a stop to road transport and traffic lights at the beginning of the movement consisted 66,8dBA +/– 2.9 and 2.6 +/– 69,8dBA. Indicators of noise on the Tershakovciv street respectively amounted to 63.8 +/– 3.2 dBA and 65.2 +/– 3.3 dBA. Today, the simplest and most common methods of noise control is the discharge of roads, planting green space and installing anti–noise screens.

The main principle of the strategy for the complex improvement of the functioning of northern cities in winter, including their infrastructure development, is a comprehensive solution of the problem of industrial-scale snow-mass collection, removal and utilization at different areas of urban roadway networks. For its implementation in the capital of Russia, “MosvodokanalNIIproject” JSC developed in 2002 the Snow Removal Master Plan for the city of Moscow. The meteorological conditions in the city, which have changed considerably in the recent years, including the changes in the snow-cover depth and in the road-surface areas to be cleaned, as well as emerging of new technologies for the cleaning of urban streets, yards and sidewalks and some new types of deicing agents, resulted in the necessity to update the above-mentioned Snow Removal Master Plan developed for the city of Moscow. Efficient application of deicing agents is of special importance for its updating in the context of the environmental safety of the city in a winter period. The article considers the results of the implementation of the updated Snow Removal Master Plan and contains some proposals concerning snow removal under the conditions of extreme snowfalls.

The 20,000-student Boise State University campus is located about 3 km from the center of the city of Boise. There is a significant amount of travel between the campus and the city center as students and staff travel to the city to visit restaurants, shops, and entertainment centers. Currently, people make this trip by car, shuttle bus, bike, or walking modes. Cars and shuttle buses, which share the same road network, constitute about 76% of the total trips. As road congestion is expected to grow in the future, it is prudent to look for other modes that can fulfill the travel demand. One potential mode is an aerial tramway. However, an aerial tramway is not a common mode of urban travel in the US. This research describes how the stated preference method was used to estimate demand for a mode that does not currently exist. An online stated preference survey was sent out to 8681 students, faculty, and staff and 1821 valid responses were received. Only about 35% of the respondents expressed their willingness to choose an aerial tramway for various combinations of cost and convenience of the new mode. Respondents were also found to favor convenience over cost for the new mode.

The development of Road Information Acquisition Systems (RIASs) based on the Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) paradigm has been widely studied for the last years. In that sense, most of the existing MCS-based RIASs focus on urban road networks and assume a car-based scenario. However, there exist a scarcity of approaches that pay attention to rural and country road networks. In that sense, forest paths are used for a wide range of recreational and sport activities by many different people and they can be also affected by different problems or obstacles blocking them. As a result, this work introduces SAMARITAN, a framework for rural-road network monitoring based on MCS. SAMARITAN analyzes the spatio-temporal trajectories from cyclists extracted from the fitness application Strava so as to uncover potential obstacles in a target road network. The framework has been evaluated in a real-world network of forest paths in the city of Cieza (Spain) showing quite promising results.
