This study aims to explore whether and howu rban morphology influences the capability of ar esidential area on attenuating trafficn oise levels. Particular attention is paid to low-density residential areas, which are more appealing for study because of their relatively lowcapability of noise resistance compared with the high-density morphology.S ix urban morphological parameters that are accessible and commonly used in urban design and planning are selected. Noise mapping techniques have been employed and aMAT LAB program has been developed to obtain the spatial noise levelindices, L n .The relationships of urban morphological parameters with the spatial noise levela ttenuation and the size of noisy areas were subsequently revealed. The results indicate that the spatial noise levelattenuation primarily occurs on noisy façades and in noisy open areas; urban morphology influences the attenuation in open areas more than on façades. As ite with quieter open areas, as measured by average spatial noise levels, such as L 50 ,i sp rone to have as maller sized 'Less Noisy Area.'As ite that has greater building coverage, however, has noisy façades with higher spatial noise levels in terms of L 10 and L 20 . With an increase of the Building Plan Area Fraction (BPAF),the spatial noise levels on noisy building façades do not decrease butincrease continuously.The Complete Aspect Ratio (CAR)and the Building Frontal Area Index (BFAI) both have the greatest impact on the average spatial noise levels, such as L 60 in open areas. The reduction of noisy open areas occurs with ad ecrease in the distance between the first-rowb uildings and at rafficr oad. It has also been revealed that the noise reduction occurs with an increase of façade areas along aroad.

“…To quantitatively compare diverse urban textures, urban morphological parameters have been explored, developed and employed in studies of environmental performance, landscape, land use, atmospheric and wind environment (Xie et al, 2006;Adolphe, 2001Esbah, 2009Ng et al, 2011;Van de Voorde, 2011). The urban morphological parameters that might be related to birdsong distribution and view of green area have been selected and developed from the perspective of possible effects of urban morphology on outdoor sound propagation (e.g., distance and ground, barrier and canyon effects) and urban view block.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to determine how to increase birdsong loudness and the visibility of green areas in low-density residential areas by controlling urban morphological parameters. The spatial sound level distributions of birdsong at 12 sites sampled from a GIS database of Assen, the Netherlands, were simulated by noise mapping techniques and calculated using a MATLAB program on spatial sound level matrices. The visibilities of green areas are analysed and calculated by Visibility Analysis Graph in Space Syntax. Correlation analyses were conducted between the obtained data on spatial sound level indices, the mean visibility and urban morphological parameters. The results show that birdsong loudness has significant positive linear relationships with urban morphological parameters, including Building Plan Area Fraction (R 2 =0.491), Green Area Perimeters (R 2

“…By using data for multiple points in time, some authors have analysed changes and the development of the landscape during one or more time periods. Esbah (2009) analysed changes in structural characteristics of patches in an urban area City of Aydin, Turkey, in two observation years (1977 and 2002) by using a larger number ofindicators or spatial analysis methods, but did not include the methods of Average Nearest Neighbour and Core Area which are applied in this paper. Cole et al (2018) conducted an analysis of the change in land cover /land use on a case study for the territory of the United Kingdom, during multiple time frames (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012), based on data from the CORINE Land Cover database.…”

This paper analyses the structural characteristics (shape, position and condition) of landscape patches in Central Lika according to landscape types and for the landscape of Central Lika as a whole. A set of indicators for the landscape structure was used along with GIS technology. Interrelation of the structural characteristics of landscape patches were determined using regression analysis. When determining the landscape types of Central Lika, a method based on land cover/land use was applied. For this purpose, data from the CORINE database for the year 2012 were used. At the level of the landscape type in Central Lika and the landscape of Central Lika as a whole, a set of indicators for the landscape structure were used, based on a variety of spatial analysis methods: Mean Shape Index – for the landscape patch shapes; Core Area Index – for the condition of the landscape patches, and Average Nearest Neighbour – for the position of the landscape patches. The most important result of this paper was to confirm the correlation between the shape and condition, and between the shape and position of the landscape patches of Central Lika, while no correlation between the condition and position of the landscape patches of Central Lika was found.
