  1. Torino, 26-27 september 2011 Noise Management System in urban areas Life+2008 H.U.S.H. project Raffaella Bellomini - Vie En.Ro.Se. Ingegneria S.r.l., Florence, Italy Francesco Borchi – DMTI – University of Florence, Italy

  2. The H.U.S.H. project (Harmonization of Urban noise reduction Strategies for Homogeneous action plans) moves from the evidence that harmonization of noise action planning methods is needed not only in Italy but also in all the European countries where a former Legislation about noise planning was present at the moment of END Directive adoption. The general objective is… harmonization of national noise management standards with European Directive 49/2002 to obtain homogeneous noise Action Plans Among specific objectives… to define a new system (procedures and database) for action planning and to test it in two pilot cases (both of them in the city of Florence)

  3. H armonization of U rban noise reduction S trategies for H omogeneous action plans Coordinating Beneficiary: Comune di Firenze Associated Beneficiaries: Vie En.Ro.Se. Ingegneria, Firenze Università di Firenze, DMTI – Dipartimento di Meccanica e Tecnologie Industriali ARPAT (Environmental Protection Agency of Tuscany Region) ISPRA (Institute for Environmental Protection and Research)

  5. Actions 1-7: resultsNormative and technical solutions are carried out referring to the following items:A – Hotspots A.1 – noise parameters and noise limits A.2 – noise limits in multisource scenarios A.3 – Hotspots criticality index definitionB – Quiet Areas B.1 – acoustic and non-acoustic parameters B.2 - noise limits and sub-areas definitionB.3 – Quiet Areas criticality index definitionC – Noise Management System for urban areas C.1 – definition of intervention areas C.2 – criticality index for intervention areas C.3 – designing step C.4 – priority index of intervention

  6. HUSH PROJECT: Don Minzoni school in Florence • The collection of subjective data has been directly used by designers, without reducing the level of originality and creativity of the children, taking care of selecting the most appropriate materials and solutions and taking into account the regulatory constraints for school buildings. The project for the garden of the school combines noise mitigation goals with the needs emerged in subjective survey. • At the end, this project involved: • - the building of a non intrusive barrier, for reducing noise in a visually pleasant way, well integrated with the space and, above all, enjoyed by the children during playtime; • - the provision of games with educational purposes; • a wooden mobile amphitheatre to give lesson in the garden. • The location of different functions is closely related to the noise climate sub-areas of the garden.

  9. LEGENDA HUSH PROJECT: Don Minzoni school in Florence Selection of colours for the flooring

  10. HUSH PROJECT: Don Minzoni school in Florence WORK IN PROGRESS During the realization of the proposed interventions some problems arose: the first one is the presence of on other yard in the same areas for the adjustment of the heating in the school. The second problem is linked to the realization of a structure on the existent wall where it must be realized the noise barrier, due to the presence of unexpected underground piping. Another structural solution has been proposed by the Technical PM in accordance with Coordinating Beneficiary and Yard Supervisor. However such problems are solved in real-time, since the technical PM and the supervisor directly monitor major activities

  13. HUSH PROJECT: area Brozzi-Quaracchi in Florence The area of Brozzi-Quaracchi includes the historical quarters of Brozzi and Quaracchi, in the north-west of Florence. The area is delimited by two major roads: Via Pratese and Via Pistoiese Road. This is an area with high density of population and presence of a community deeply rooted in its territory. Noise annoyance to the population, is mainly caused by the flow of vehicles crossing the area between the two main roads using local streets rather than the road system outside the quarter.
