Multi-Faceted Analysis of Airborne Noise Impact in the Port of Split (I)

This multi-faceted study deals with the analysis of impact noise emissions from cargo terminals in port Split, especially view proximity to inhabited areas and growing number registered issues concerns due its particular location. Three objectives are pursued: identification sources area, an overview strategic maps simulations propagation ships at berth, calculation external costs pollution. In first, preliminary part research project, by conducting a monitoring campaign analyzing data on studied road rail traffic were estimated as main causing excessive for all assessment periods: day (Lday), evening (Levening), night (Lnight), day-evening-night (Lden) period. Industrial resources, including ports, identified having marginal emission levels. The total results damage value €190,166/year, considering affected inhabitants assumed As added study, simulation two scenarios have determined ship berth highlighted zone under certain conditions. this should encourage relevant institutions strengthen management plans introduce effective continuous critical areas.
