Abstract

The European Noise Directive 2002/49/EC (END) provides indications and recommendations about noise mapping, action planning, quiet areas and the communication and dissemination to- wards citizens. However, for several items only definitions and general indications are made available, without giving specific suggestions about how to deal with them in practice. In this article the main contributions to END interpretation and implementation from the Italian case studies of EU funded projects HUSH, NADIA and QUADM AP are described. LIFE+2008 HUSH (Harmonization of Urban Noise reduction Strategies for Homogeneous action plans) project aimed at giving a contribution to the harmonization of the National and European legislations, regarding urban noise management tools, allowing a definition of coherent procedures able to comply the commitments introduced by National laws and by the END. Starting from the methodology defined and the interventions realized in t wo pilot areas in Florence, proposals for revision of National legislation and END have been provided, for supporting competent authorities and policy makers. In the LIFE+2009 NADIA (Noise Abatement Demonstrative and Innovative Actions and information to the public) project methods and procedures to achieve the END requirements have been developed, aiming the following main objectives: to improve the methodologies for the realization of noise mappings and action plans, with a particular focus on road traffic noise, to increase the awareness of citizen s and of potential stakeholders by focused communication and dissemination activities and to assess the technical and economic feasibility of best practices in tackling road traffic noise. LIFE +2010 QUADMAP project (QUiet Areas Definition and Management in Action Plans) has proposed a method and guidelines for the selection, analysis and management of Quiet Urban Areas (QUAs) as introduced by the END.
