Abstract
In order to effectively control noise pollution in city and facilitate urban noise management, environmental noise zoning is imperative so much. In present study, GIS was adopted to noise zoning in Tangshan city based on Technical Specifications to Determinate the Suitable Areas for Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB/T 15190-94) in China. According to the status of the built-up area in Tangshan, environmental noise area of Tangshan could be divided into Area 1, Area 2, Area 3 and Area 4. Their area were 21.02 km <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , 36.686 km <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , 35.202 km <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and 23.52 km <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , respectively, and area percentage in Tangshan city were 18.05%, 31.51%, 30.23% and 20.21%, respectively. Comparison the geographic distribution of the noise zoning with urban master plan, it showed that the noise zoning is in agreement with the urban master plan, which was benefit to the implementation of master plan, but also it is a supplement. This result showed that GIS is a simply operation method, and can provide the result of accuracy and reliability. So it is acceptabled that GIS is adopted to environmental noise zoning of urban area.
