Environmental noise maps sourced from traffic and Çukurova University Campus as case study

Noise pollution is one of important parameters for irregular urbanization. The aim is researching about the noise pollution in Cukurova University Campus which is caused by vehicle traffic on highway and taking precautions. For making the map of noise pollution in Cukurova University central Campus, 7 points are determined where the traffic is dense. 07.00-10.00 in the morning, 11.00-14.00 in midday, 16.00-18.00 in the afternoon and 19.00-20.00 when in the evening the traffic is dense, the cars are counted. The level of noise pollution increases because of the increase in car numbers which is effected from the increase of population and lack of highways and lack of education which the drivers should have. The calculations about determining the hot point on the highway and the precautions to be taken for reducting the noise pollution are made by using SoundPLAN software. This software which is used especially in EU countries airports, highways, railways and industry sites has become a very important software.The purpose of this study is determining the current noise sources in Cukurova University Cenrtal Campus and measuring the pollution caused by these sources and discovering the dense points by preparing the maps of the pollution.
