Resumen
In 2007 Strategic Noise Maps for many of the federal states of Germany were calculated and published. With examples from cities and communities it will be demonstrated how, based on a standard procedure for the preparation of a noise action plan, effective measures were defined by ACCON together with the responsible authorities from the municipality. The chosen procedure also took into consideration the deadline for the finalization and the commencement of an action plan at July 2008. Based on the Strategic Noise Maps, additional hot spot analyses and a catalogue of potential measures for noise reduction were investigated and evaluated. Together with representatives of the traffic, town and environmental planning departments of the municipalities efficient measures were discussed and selected. Other local planning interests, financial outcomes and the degree of public acceptance were also considered. A typical draft action plan of a smaller city is identified and this has to be published and the public views taken into account. All of the results described herein are subject to the approval of the City Councils in 2008, which than allows the action plans to come into force.
