Introduction:
Noise pollution is a significant environmental issue in urban areas, affecting the health and well-being of residents. With the increasing urbanization and population growth in cities, the level of noise pollution is also on the rise. Mapping noise pollution in urban cores is crucial for understanding the sources and distribution of noise, as well as for developing effective strategies for noise mitigation.

Project Research Overview:
Noise pollution mapping in urban cores is a critical issue that requires comprehensive research and analysis. This project aims to investigate the sources and distribution of noise pollution in urban areas, focusing on the core areas of cities where noise levels are typically higher. The study will utilize a combination of noise measurement instruments, GIS mapping techniques, and survey questionnaires to assess the level of noise pollution and its impact on residents’ health and well-being.
The research methodology will involve collecting data on noise levels from various sources such as traffic, construction activities, industrial facilities, and recreational areas. The collected data will be analyzed using statistical methods and GIS mapping software to create noise pollution maps of urban cores. The study will also examine the relationship between noise pollution and land use, transportation patterns, and community responses to noise pollution.
The findings of the study will provide valuable insights into the sources and distribution of noise pollution in urban cores, as well as recommendations for noise mitigation strategies and urban planning policies. By addressing noise pollution in urban areas, this research aims to improve the quality of life for residents and create healthier and more sustainable urban environments.
