Abstract
In urban environments, people's exposure to harmful ambient conditions and
noise represents a particular challenge in the modern world. Global climate
change and increasing population density, along with the increasing number
of vehicles in urban areas, are constantly exacerbating this problem. The
idea of this study is to assess the effects of temperature risks and noise
pollution in two microlocations. An analysis of the ambient conditions and
noise in the urban environment was conducted at two locations in Belgrade,
which differed in configuration. Simultaneous measurements of temperature
(Ta and Tg), humidity, wind speed, and equivalent noise level were taken
during a hot summer day (maximum temperature over 30?C). It was shown that
the noise level exceeds the prescribed noise level values for the analyzed
acoustic zone. The noise level values differ for the two locations due to
the different traffic densities in the environment and different urban
characteristics. This study showed that the concept of green space, but also
of built-up type in urban planning could has importance impact in regulating
thermal and noise conditions and obtained improved urban environments.
