Relationship between green space-related variables and traffic noise distribution in the urban scale, an overall approach
Relationship between green space-related variables and traffic noise distribution in the urban scale, an overall approach
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of green spaces as land use element of urban morphology on road traffic noise distribution. Two different scales of approach (macro, meso) were used for the analysis. In the macro-scale, six European cities were investigated for correlations between noise and green space parameters in order to explore whether greener cities can also be quieter. In the meso-scale, the analysis was focused on a sample area of 30km2in eight UK cities by incorporating features of green space ratio, patternand road configurations. Results at this level proved that apart from the differences in the morphologicalfeatures, traffic noise distribution can also be affected by the different settlement forms, such as linear and radial configurations. The scale of analysis was also proved to be a crucial factor in the extent of correlations.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of green spaces as land use element of urban morphology on road traffic noise distribution. Two different scales of approach (macro, meso) were used for the analysis. In the macro-scale, six European cities were investigated for correlations between noise and green space parameters in order to explore whether greener cities can also be quieter. In the meso-scale, the analysis was focused on a sample area of 30km2in eight UK cities by incorporating features of green space ratio, patternand road configurations. Results at this level proved that apart from the differences in the morphologicalfeatures, traffic noise distribution can also be affected by the different settlement forms, such as linear and radial configurations. The scale of analysis was also proved to be a crucial factor in the extent of correlations.
