The effectiveness of noise protection of the green spaces of the city of Bryansk

The most serious negative factor for life, and even more so for human recreation in urban conditions, is urban noise, the level of which has increased significantly recently. The city of Bryansk is also an exception - the administrative center of the Non-Chernozem region of the Russian Federation, in which a large number of parks squares, and forest parks are concentrated. The evaluation of the physical characteristics of the main noise sources forming the noise regime and the averaged sample values of noise on the streets of Bryansk is quite relevant. The study considers the condition of green spaces located near highways of citywide significance, streets of district significance and residential, as well as the ability of green spaces to absorb noise. The permissible sound level at the calculated points was determined and compared with the regulatory criteria. The characteristics of the strips of green spaces with the most effective noise protection are revealed.
