Description
Summary:Environmental noise is one of the primary important factors that negatively affect human health and quality of life. The canyon effect occurs in the regions between the long structure groups. Canyon effect can cause different conditions in terms of noise, heat, lighting or ventilation. This difference: It depends on the building-road relationship, traffic density, climatic conditions, building dimensions and geometry. Within the scope of this study: The road-structure height relationship of environmental noise specific to street canyons and the trade-housing relationship within the building were examined. Highway was preferred as the sound source. 12 separate operational models were created, and a total of 168 measurement results were obtained from 4 indoor and 10 outdoor measurement points in each model. The results showed the level of the canyon effect specific to different variables.
