The Councillor for Sustainable Development of the City of Lorca, Francisco Garcia presented this morning the results of the study commissioned technicians on traffic noise and railway industries that exist in different parts of the city, based on which has developed a strategic noise map and is intended to draw in 2010 an Action Plan Against Noise Pollution.
Garcia explained that "after making the 600 measurements of noise in 200 parts of the city and different time zones to detect the different degrees of noise, it was concluded that noise pollution in the city is similar to other municipalities , although hot spots, mainly concentrated in the Avenida Juan Carlos I and Jerome Santa Fe, the average above 65 decibels, which is the maximum recommended by law.
By contrast, the districts and malls are quieter areas. "
In this regard, Councillor stressed that "this study is a preliminary step, essential to improve the quality of life of Lorca and Lorca placing ahead of many municipalities, by law, they must do so within four years ".

Francisco Garcia has indicated that the City also pack a similar study in some districts with population center, where there may be some noise problem, such as La Hoya, for example.
The noise map has taken shape through the streets and walls in a 3D simulator and 250 planes, in which information is collected and you can see how the situation would vary Altering the traffic through an area, for example.
The "strategic noise map Lorca" will provide technical support for new buildings to be developed in the study area (away from buildings, acoustic insulation requirements in walls, etc.), And constitute a necessary tool to predict changes in noise levels that concrete action would have in a while will provide information and tools needed to adopt action plans to prevent and reduce environmental noise in our town.
