“…The annoyance of the population who had been living near a big European airport for at least 5 years caused by aircraft noise has been raised over recent years and the annoyance ratings due to aircraft noise were higher than predicted by the EU standard curves [2]. Aircraft noise has been an important cause for the degradation of soundscape in the adjacent areas of airports, especially for the regions that have strong connections between noise annoyance and local outdoor life [3,4].…”

“…In the following example, such considerations have also been applied to areas in proximity to the airport of Cyprus [14]: It is noted that a limited number of residences already exist in the L night > 60dB(A) zone at the South West of the Airport (existing runway 04), while the immediate area for all scenarios seems to be exposed to noise zone of L nigh t>60 dB(A). Therefore, there should be provision in the New Local Plan of Larnaka that will ensure that in future potentially negatively impacted residential development expansion is avoided.…”

Abstract:In the framework of the European Directive 2002/49/EC, from 2012 to 2016, several cities in Greece have completed noise strategic maps with noise action plans that usually define the main strategies to reduce the noise residents are exposed to and introduce and preserve "quiet zones". Several medium urban agglomerations in Greece (Volos, Larissa, Chania, Heraklion, Corfu, Agrinio, Thessaloniki) have been chosen to also analyse the sound qualities of the soundscapes of specific urban neighbourhoods in order to generate recommendations for the urban design of the soundscapes of these agglomerations in a manner that complements conventional noise mitigation measures. The general principle of this approach is to relate quantitative data (e.g., from measurements, acoustic simulations, urban forms, topography, and traffic model) with qualitative data (e.g., from type of sources, interviews, reports on environmental noise perception) by creating quantitative and qualitative maps. The aim of this study is to propose possible action tools to the relevant authorities aiming at diminishing noise levels in affected areas and also to provide solutions towards a sustainable sound environment both in space and time. This paper presents the main current methodology, selected important results proposed for the urban agglomerations of a typical Southeast Mediterranean country such as Greece.

“…Particularly interesting cases of smaller airports faced with the relatively big problems of noise are the Larnaka airport in Greece and the Pisa airport in Italy, which have been used simultaneously for civil and military flights. In the first case, the research has developed models for measuring and monitoring noise, including the effects of noise-mitigating measures at the source (aircraft type, volume, and pattern of using runways), insulation of houses of the currently affected residents, managing the land use around the airport, and dissemination of information to public (Larnaka airport in Greece) (Vogiatzis, 2012). In the second case, the airport is located close to the city, implying that possible expansion would require relocation of the most affected residential areas.…”

The air transport system consists of airports, airlines, and air traffic control (ATC). Airports are considered the system infrastructure occupying a certain area of land. This can be roughly divided into (i) the airside area containing runways, taxiways, and the apron-gate complex and (ii) the landside area including passenger and cargo terminals; space, buildings, facilities, and equipment for airport/airline-related activities; as well as the overall infrastructure of the airport ground access systems. Most airports are confronted with challenges such as incompatibility of land use and a lack of free land to expand to accommodate growing demand efficiently, effectively, and safely. To adequately deal with these challenges, an effective and compatible plan of airport land use needs to be developed with components such as (i) the airport design and operational criteria; (ii) requirements for safety of flights and unique land-use provision(s); and (iii) performances of land use. This article deals with analyzing, modeling, and assessing the physical/spatial, operational, economic, social, and environmental performances of land use by airport airside and landside areas. For such a purpose, a convenient methodology based on the indicators and their measures of performances of land use is developed and applied to selected airport cases.
