NOISE ABATEMENT PLANS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY COMPATIBLE URBAN TRANSPORT - PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES IN GERMAN TOWNS

Since 1990, the German Federal Immission Control Act obliges local authorities or other responsible administrative authorities to state harmful environmental effects caused by noise and to draw up Noise Abatement Plans (NAP). The legal and organisational framework of NAP is described and the practical experience from several towns and cities is reported. As traffic is the most important source of noise impact, NAP has to be linked to urban transport planning in order to solve the problems. In general, NAP initiate environmental compatible urban and transport policies in Germany. For the covering abstract see ITRD E107776.
