Nevsehir City Center Spatial Analysis of Noise Pollution by Using Geographical Information System
Öz
Nevsehir province in Turkey, which constitutes the study area, is a city located at the center of the Cappadocia region and has a history of about five thousand years. In this study, the precautions that might be taken in order to determine the level of noise pollution caused by traffic in main arterial roads of Nevsehir city center and to minimize negative effects of this experienced noise pollution on people were indicated. In total, the coordinates of 60 measurement stations were determined with the Magellan Explorist 710 Map handheld GPS receiver. Noise measurements were made with Svantek 971 brand Type 1 noise level meter. Noise pollution of the city center of Nevsehir was evaluated as positional through Geographical Information System (GIS) and maps showing noise pollution were prepared at morning, noon and evening hours. Since the results obtained from the measurements made in the main arteries are detrimental to human health, the precautions to be taken are briefly mentioned. The immediate implementation of identified measures can aid in reducing the level of noise pollution benefitting the Nevsehir city and the health of the people residing in it.
