Abstract

A novel investigation was carried out, the main goal of which was to assess and diffuse the alarming acoustic situation suffered in cities of Andalusia. This work is an attempt to innovate the traditional methods of measurement and study of the perception of acoustic pollution. Till now, such measurements have been based on a series of excessively empirical physical variables that are not very useful to determine the problem of urban noise for human beings and its perception/impact on the population. We have thus developed some very interesting methodologies, universally applicable to any city, including a new model of mapping noise and acoustic pollution in our cities. We herewith present the preliminary stage of this investigation, called «The state of the municipal legal normative concerning acoustic pollution», albeit only for the Andalusian tourist shore.
