Özet:

 


The noise is a kind of environmental pollutions that
affects human health and decreases performance of people, education, and home
life. Harvesting activities in forestry are one of working environments where
noise effect is very intense. Noise is an element of environmental pollution
that is effective on human health and needs to be controlled. To evaluate the
noise effect, maps of noise propagation are used. The noise map is defined as
numerical model of noise sources. The changes in sound level determined by
measurements in certain points are shown in noise map. Noise maps are used in
calculation of average sound level if it is within acceptable limits and in
determination of risky areas where employees are adversely effected.
Computer-aided systems have been used in modeling noise propagation in recent
years. SPreAD-GIS is free program developed to estimate acoustic effects of
anthropogenic noise propagation and adapted to ArcGIS software. In this study,
it was aimed to introduce SPreAD-GIS program that can be used to model noise
propagation caused by mechanized harvesting equipment. In addition, main
factors affecting noise propagation in forest (elevation, land use type,
temperature, humidity, wind direction and intensity, climate and weather
conditions) were evaluated.
