CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO RUÍDO AMBIENTAL URBANO EM MARINGÁ, PARANÁ

Abstract

Noise is one of the main sources of discomfort for man. The coexistence of economic activities and residences is one of the problems to be evaluated, because, the economy grows and brings development, but it is able to promote acoustic discomfort to the population. The work, presented in a master's degree, aimed to characterize the noise in a central portion of Maringá, by means of in loco measurements for the calculation of the sound levels. In confirming the extrapolation of the decibels established in standard and legislation, it is evident the need to better plan the development of cities and the proposition of alternatives that can, in a feasible way, mitigate the problem.
