| description | Singapore has limited land space and an ever increasing population. In view of that, more
residential estates are being built near major roadways. Noise pollution generated from traffic is
an area of concern especially with the increasing population of vehicles and the proximity of
residential buildings to the roads.
This research uses surveys on residents living in Residential Estate 1 near the Expressway 1 and
residents living in Residential Estate 2 near Expressway 2 to gain feedback on the noise
produced by the expressways. Fieldwork was conducted based on the data collected from the
feedback given. From there, locations for data collecting were chosen in order to determine the
actual noise level faced by residents.
This paper intends to present the field measurements together with the survey feedback to
create an understanding on the effectiveness of the current mitigation measures placed and
whether authorities should pay greater concern about the harmful effects of noise pollution on
the residents. |
