PLANNING THE AIRPORT ENVIRONS--A EUROPEAN VIEWPOINT

Policies governing the planning and regulation of new construction, and the purchase or soundproofing of existing structures in airport environs in France, Germany, Great Britain, and Switzerland are outlined. The noise exposure indices in use in these countries are given. Methods of reducing noise in highly populated areas, such as special arrival and departure procedures and curfews, are described together with considerations in use in the formulation of long-range land use policies for areas surrounding airports.
