Description/Abstract

The development, structure, and content of a social survey questionnaire designed to
determine human responses to vibration in residential environments are presented. The
overall aim of the questionnaire was to obtain responses that could be combined with
vibration measurements so as to investigate dose-response relationships for vibration in
residential buildings. The questionnaire seeks to obtain information on how the vibration is
perceived in residential environments and encompasses common sources of vibration
outside the control of residents (e.g., from road, rail, industrial, construction operations).
Methods of analysing responses obtained with the questionnaire are summarised.
