Üniversite Yerleşkelerinde Gürültü Kirliliğinin Ölçülmesi: Ordu Üniversitesi Cumhuriyet Yerleşkesi Örneği

Abstract

Ordu iline büyükşehir statüsü verilmesi ile birlikte özellikle merkez ilçe olan Altınordu’da hız kazanan kentleşmenin beraberinde getirdiği önemli çevresel sorunlardan biri gürültü kirliliğidir. Gürültü kirliliğine katkıda bulunan motorlu taşıt gibi gürültü kaynaklarının sayısı artan kent nüfusuna bağlı olarak her geçen gün artmaktadır. Karadeniz’in önemli ulaşım güzergahlarından birinin üzerinde konumlanan Ordu Üniversitesi Cumhuriyet Yerleşkesi, trafik kaynaklı gürültü kirliliğinden olumsuz etkilenme potansiyeline sahiptir. Yapılan araştırmalar, lisans ve lisansüstü düzeyde eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerinin yürütüldüğü üniversite yerleşkelerinde yüksek ses basıncı düzeylerinin eğitimin verimini önemli ölçüde düşürdüğünü göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmamız, Ordu Üniversitesi Cumhuriyet Yerleşkesi örneğinde çevresel gürültü düzeyinin zamansal ve mekânsal dağılımını belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yerleşke içinde belirlenen 25 noktada tüm hafta boyunca sabah (9.00-10.00), öğle (12.00-13.00) ve akşam (16.00-17.00) ses basıncı düzeyi ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler coğrafi bilgi sistemi yazılımında işlenerek yerleşkeye ait gürültü haritaları oluşturulmuş, yerleşkedeki gürültü düzeyine ilişkin farklılıklar istatistiksel metotlarla değerlendirilmiştir. Yerleşkeyi doğrudan etkileyen temel gürültü kaynağının hafta boyunca E70 karayolu ve hafta içi yalnızca insan hareketliliği olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları doğrultusunda yasal gürültü düzeyinin üzerindeki alanlarda gürültüyü engellemeye yönelik yapısal ve bitkisel çözümler önerilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları ve geliştirilen öneriler, gürültü seviyelerini makul seviyelerde tutmak için üniversite yöneticilerine rehber olması bakımından önemlidir. Geliştirilen önerilere uygun eylem planlarının hayata geçmesi ile yerleşke içerisinde öğrenciler için daha elverişli bir öğrenme ve üniversite personeli için daha huzurlu bir çalışma ortamı oluşturulacaktır.

Measurement of Noise Pollution in University Campuses: The Case of Ordu University Cumhuriyet Campus

Abstract

Noise pollution is one of the important environmental problems brought about by accelerating urbanization, especially in Altınordu, which is the central district, following the granting of metropolitan status to Ordu province. The number of noise sources such as motor vehicles that contribute to noise pollution is increasing day by day due to the increasing urban population. The Ordu University Cumhuriyet Campus, located on one of the important transportation routes of the Black Sea, can be adversely affected by traffic-related noise pollution. Studies show that high sound pressure levels significantly reduce the efficiency of education in university campuses where education and training activities are carried out at the undergraduate and graduate level. In this context, our study determines the temporal and spatial distribution of the environmental noise level in the case of the Ordu University Cumhuriyet Campus. For this purpose, sound pressure levels were measured in the morning (9.00-10.00), noon (12.00-13.00) and evening (16.00-17.00) throughout the week at 25 points determined in the campus. The obtained data were processed in the geographic information system software and noise maps of the campus were created, and the differences in the noise level on the campus were evaluated with statistical methods. It was determined that the main noise source directly affecting the campus was the E70 highway during the week and only human mobility on weekdays. In line with the findings of the study, structural and vegetative solutions have been proposed to prevent noise in areas above the legal noise level. The results of the study and the suggestions developed are important in terms of being a guide for university administrators to keep noise levels at reasonable levels. With the implementation of the action plans in line with the suggestions developed, a more convenient learning environment for the students and a more peaceful working environment for the university staff will be created on the campus.
