Abstract
This paper explores possibilities and potentials of integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS), noise mapping and other related techniques for the management and control of noise in various urban structures and cultures. This includes the use of noise maps and GIS information in examining the relationships between environmental noise and social-economic factors; comparison of noise resistance of different urban structures based on micro- and macro-scale sound propagation models; effects of building arrangements in a given urban area based on genetic algorithms; and the development from urban noise maps to urban sound maps and urban soundscape maps, taking perception and cultural factors into account.
