Abstract

Current practices about selection, assessment and management of Quiet Areas in EU Countries, though regulated by the EU Directive 49/2002/EC on Environmental Noise, appear to be extremely fragmented and inhomogeneous. In fact, each country during past years adopted a set of strategies strictly related to specific contexts. Proposing a solution to overcome the lack of harmonized methodologies for Quiet Areas is the main aim of QUADMAP (QUiet Areas Definition and Management in Action Plans) project. The project has a high level of demonstrativeness guaranteed by the fact that the methodology proposed for identification, delimitation and prioritization of QUAs will be tested on a number of case study areas. In particular, it will be applied in a set of pilot cases in Italy, Spain, and in The Netherlands. The project started on 1st September 2011 and lasts three years. At the beginning of 2013 the harmonized methodology has been defined. The proposed procedure has been tested since February 2013 in all pilot cases and optimized according to data collected in the pilot cases. In this paper the optimization procedures are described, with particular attention to those developed in the period April-June 2014.
