Green spaces and environmental noise perception

摘要: Abstract Physical reduction of noise exposure is no longer considered the only preventive approach towards mitigation. Urban green spaces constitute an important factor in ameliorating negative perception cities. The aim this study was to explore associations between several objective and self-rated indicators interaction with perception. In a small scale cross-sectional survey residents Plovdiv, Bulgaria we collected data on sensitivity (NS), annoyance (NA) space variables. A conceptual mediation model which effects NA were hypothesized be mediated through NS tested. While most variables had significant indirect NA, one having total effect distance nearest space; that is, living closer associated lower NA. It seemed while other aspects could reduce susceptibility noise, they not do so for conclusion, beneficial impact perception, but still lack hard evidence regarding mechanisms underlying these effects.
