Noise Level in The Parks in The City Centres; The Sample of Yakutiye Park
Öz
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).
