Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the urban noise level, to classify it according to the provisions of the relevant regulation, to map it using geographic information systems (GIS) and to develop physical and administrative suggestions for eliminating the noise above the threshold value. In this context, the city center of Antalya was chosen as the study area. This area was digitized, and its maps were produced with the help of remote sensing and geographic information systems. Then, the noise levels of the region were measured using a decibel meter, provided that it was evenly distributed throughout the study area, all measurement points were coordinated, transferred to the map and a database was created. Interpolation was applied based on the noise threshold values in the "Evaluation and Management of Environmental Noise" regulation in the national legislation, noise levels were classified and noise maps were produced. In accordance with the relevant regulation, land survey was carried out again for the regions exceeding the noise limit values, and the sources of noise were identified. In line with the results, physical and administrative solutions have been developed for the elimination of noise in the region.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada kentsel gürültü düzeyinin belirlenmesi, ilgili yönetmelik hükümlerine göre sınıflandırılması, haritalanması ve eşik değerin üzerindeki gürültünün giderilmesi için coğrafi bilgi sistemi (CBS) teknolojileri kullanılarak fiziki ve idari öneriler geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışma alanı olarak Antalya şehir merkezi seçilmiştir. Bölge, uzaktan algılama ve coğrafi bilgi sistemleri kullanılarak sayısallaştırılmış ve haritaları üretilmiştir. Ardından çalışma alanı bütününde eşit olarak dağılım göstermesi koşulu ile ölçüm noktaları belirlenmiş, bu noktalardan desibelmetre ile gürültü seviyeleri ölçülmüş, haritaya aktarılmış ve veri tabanı oluşturulmuştur. Ulusal mevzuatta yer alan “Çevresel Gürültünün Değerlendirilmesi ve Yönetimi” yönetmeliğinde yer alan gürültü eşik değerleri baz alınarak enterpolasyon uygulanmış, gürültü seviyeleri sınıflandırılmış ve gürültü haritaları üretilmiştir. İlgili yönetmelik gereği gürültü sınır değerlerini aşan bölgeler için tekrar arazi etüdü yapılarak gürültü kaynakları tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda bölgede gürültünün giderilmesine yönelik fiziki ve idari çözümler geliştirilmiştir.
