Abstract

Noise mapping is performed in the city of Cheongju which has 630,000 inhabitants on a 150km2 area. This city has 71,387 buildings and 928,033 km roads. Many database sets like information of roads, topography, and buildings are required for making the noise map of large area. These database sets are provided by the various departments of the regional administration in Cheongju city. Using the given database sets, 3-dimensional model of topography and buildings are made to consider the multi-reflections and diffractions. A predicted noise level is compared with measured noise level of the road traffic noise. As the tool of management and decision of urban noise policy, noise map is combined into the map of land use to make the conflict noise map. This conflict noise map is useful to assess the present urban noise and to make the better life in complicated urban life.
