| 總結: | A large portion of the population that lives in urban centers has already suffered or is suffering from problems caused by urban noise, especially due to, among other factors, the proximity to roads of intense traffic of vehicles. Studies of several areas of knowledge are exposing possible harms caused to people as a consequence of a long exposure to high noise levels. Regarding the external environment, few measures were taken. Studies about this reveal conflicts between the urban guidelines for the urban development, land use and occupation and the acoustic comfort. The main objective of this work is to study the interactions between urban noise (especially regarding traffic noise) and urban space configuration, using as experimental field an area of Marco neighborhood of Belém-PA, near Almirante Barroso Avenue. For this, a methodology was created based on standards and theories that approach this theme and makes it possible to obtain built mass characteristic indexes (roughness, porosity, concentration and porosity). The comparison of these indexes with sound levels obtained through “in loco” collected data (using a sound pressure level meter), allows the identification of the urban form physical characteristics that influence external sound environment and that can serve as subsidies to the urban planning and design, preventing the formation of extremely unhealthy sound areas. |
