International Approaches to Urban Environmental Planning Taking to Account Gas Emissions and Noise Impact

Abstract

Presently in urban territories there is a number of ecological problems caused by negative impact of chemical and physical factors. Negative impact of chemical factors is mainly caused by gas emissions. CO2emissions are typically very significant in modern towns. A set of chemical equations to determine emission and absorption of CO2inside the municipality boundaries is developed. Based on these equations, authors have developed an accounting methodology for CO2 emissions and absorptions that is applicable to the municipal territory. It is expected this methodology to become a tool for planners and designers as well to be used in territorial emissions trading. The measures of noise reduction among of town planning solutions are described. In total, effective noise reduction in living areas may be achieved by provision of complex administrative-organizing, urban development and building-acoustic measures.
