Effect of urban morphology on road noise distribution

The present research conducted in the city of Biskra focuses on the relationship that can exists between urban morphology and road noise distribution. Ten community-housing areas have been investigated in order to evaluate their noisescape, using noise-mapping method. The connection between the morphological characteristics and road noise distribution using Pearson correlation tests, showed a strong relationship between the two. The results of this research indicate that the urban morphology has a significant impact on the noisescape. Acoustic environment at urban scale represents therefore an important challenge for the urban designers and planners at early design stage for a sustainable and healthy urban environment.
