Özet

Noise is a negative effect that has physiological and psychological effects on human. It is a significant environmental problem in many urban areas. Therefore, noise mapping is an important tool for sustainable planning of the environment. Within different types of noise, especially, traffic noise is very effective in the centre of cities. This problem has not been properly recognised despite the fact that it is steadily growing in developing countries. Both inside and outside of the classrooms should have at optimum levels of physical parameters that take substantial roles on hearing and understanding. Nowadays there are several studies to decrease the negative effects of noise on human health. Noise maps are one of these studies. These maps are a cartographic representation of the noise level distribution in a determined area and period of time. The aim of the study is to determine the traffic and human noise in Namik Kemal University Campus (Tekirdag, Turkey) and to investigate possible solutions to reduce the traffic and human noise. Noise levels measured on 28 different points between mornings (8:00-9:00), noon (12:00-13:00) and evening(17:00-18:00) hours and the results will be analysed statistically and also these values will be entered and analysed via Geographical Information System.
