Tempo 30 – Noise Reduction and Synergy Effects

Yordanov A.

Challenges of Modern Technology

2016

Vol. 7, no. 2

21--24

This article describes a noise reduction method applied in the German-speaking realm in Europe, the so-called Tempo 30 (T30) restriction that limits vehicular speed to 30 km per hour, and differentiates between T30 arrangements and T30 Zones in Germany. Further, it analyses the expected levels of noise reduction, possible improvements in air quality, decrease in accident casualties, and levels of citizen acceptance and awareness of T30 regulation. It does so based on data from literature research and face-to-face interviews with Berlin residents. Further, it looks at the discussion for and against T30 and discusses the possible transfer of T30 policies and practices beyond the German speaking area, in particular to Bulgaria.

Citizens’ Participation in the Noise Action Planning

Yordanov A.

Challenges of Modern Technology

2016

Vol. 7, no. 2

25--28

The complexity of noise mapping and action planning, the free interpretation of Article 8.7. (Action plans – Public Participation) and Article 9.2. (Information to the Public – Information about Noise Action Plans) of the Directive 2002/49/EC Environmental Noise Directive (END), the lack of a statement about public participation within the achievement of END tasks, and difficulties with the general public’s understanding of the noise maps and action plans requires a discussion about the willingness and opportunities of citizens to provide additional information and feedback about noise issues to the city authorities; as well as about their participation in the establishment of noise action plans. The aim of this paper is to find out the level of citizens’ participation motivation within the noise action planning. The research goals are achieved through the organization and conduct of face-to-face interviews to study the readiness of citizens to participate online in surveys about noise, to use smart phone applications in order to measure noise pollution, and to provide the results to city authorities. The results are compared with similar participation level studies of earlier online discussions about noise. The report concludes with a proposal for optimization of public participation, via a horizontal participation model, in the noise action planning.
