Abstract

Noise pollution is counted to be among the most serious environmental problems. Such a problem is
observed to carry higher level of signi cance in the parks located in city centres since the parks are among the areas
sensitive to noise just as schools and hospitals are. The study area, Yakutiye Park, is one of the most important parks
in Erzurum city centre. The Park was founded on the Cumhuriyet Street, which may be accepted to be the central
business area of the city and is under the effect of a dense motor vehicle traf c. It was found from the measurement
conducted at 8 stations in the morning at noon and in the evening that the noise values did not exceed the limits
allowed by Noise Control Regulation. The highest noise value was measured to be 64.29 dB(A) at the Station 3 in
the evening. Mean noise level in the Park was calculated to be 60.07 dB(A), which was found to be interesting in
contrast to the expected results. In the present study, reasons for such an interesting result are evaluated and some
leading suggestions are offered for also other parks. In addition, statistically no signi cant differences were found
to be present between the measurement times (P<0.0).

Abstract

Gürültü kirliliği kentlerimizin en önemli çevre sorunlarından birisidir. Kent merkezindeki parklarda,
gürültü sorunu daha da önemli olmaktadır. Çünkü parklar, okul ve hastanene gibi gürültüye hassas alanlardan
birisidir. Çalışma alanı olan Yakutiye Parkı Erzurum kent merkezindeki parkların en önemlilerinden birisidir. Park
kentin merkezi sayılan Cumhuriyet Caddesi’nde bulunmaktadır. Yakutiye Parkı yoğun bir araç tra ğinin etkisi
altında bulunmaktadır. Parkta yapılan sabah öğle ve akşam ölçümlerde 8 istasyonun hiçbirinde gürültü değerleri
Gürültü Kontrol Yönetmeliği’nin izin verdiği sınırların üzerine çıkmamıştır. En yüksek gürültü değeri parkın akşam
vaktinde 3. istasyonda 64,29 dB(A) çıkmıştır. Yakutiye Parkı’nın genel gürültü değeri ise 60,07 dB(A) olarak
belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuç beklentilerin dışında şaşırtıcı bir sonuçtur. Bu çalışma ile bunun sebepleri incelenerek
gürültü sorunu olan diğer parklar için bir yol gösterici öneriler verilmiştir. Ayrıca istatistiki olarak parkın gün
bölümleri arasında önemli bir sonuç çıkmamıştır (P<0.01).
