| Abstract/Contents: | The noise (dBA L10 and L95) was measured on the whole area of the National Garden of Athens, a "closed" type public garden in the Engish style in the city center. Major differences in traffic noise reduction were found in the first 20-40 m of the garden perimeter. Dense vegetation of shrubs and trees, compared to areas where the vegetation was interrupted by lanes or to areas with lawn and bedding plants, resulted in 2 dBA and 4 dBA extra noise reduction, respectively. Lanes vertical to the noise source reduced the noise less than parallel ones. Differences of the garden altitude also affected noise reduction. |
