Preliminary results on survey about noise pollution sources in Kosovo
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Urban landscape in Kosovo has changed rapidly in the last two decades. Many urban development and infrastructure projects were carried out. Density of the urban fabric has increased and urban sprawl has stretched out city boundaries. On the other hand and at the same time people’s lifestyle has changed and their living standard has increased as well, which can be seen, for example, in the increased number of cars in traffic. All of these developments lead to a noisy environment in Kosovo. Noise pollution is spread out as a phenomenon in Kosovo urban environments though not so much addressed or talked about. There are not enough data about noise levels or noise sources impacting Kosovo citizens. UBT College has undertaken a socio acoustic survey inquiring about noise pollution sources in Kosovo and people’s attitude towards noise pollution. A total of 196 subjects participated in the survey. The results of this survey identifying main noise sources are presented and discussed.
