Questionnaire analysis survey for acoustic investigation - Preliminary considerations

The noise in the areas between ports and logistic platforms is investigated from a subjective point of view in the TRIPLO (TRansports and Innovative sustainable connections between Ports and LOgistic platforms) EU project. Besides activities such as noise monitoring, mapping, short-term measurements, port and road traffic flows analyses, also subjective surveys can give useful indications on the strategies to be proposed for a better management of the problem. The interest towards the people involvement is a widely spread practice, as the strategies to manage the noise pollution should start from the evaluation of the population annoyance level. To use the most suitable approach, a preliminary investigation on the questionnaire surveys already experimented has been developed and a synthesis of the main aspects that should be considered is presented.
