    Noise sources and land uses: Are they compatible?

    This paper by Edward P. Gorski examines how local governments can achieve noise-compatible land use planning through two main approaches: administrative techniques that officials and planners can use to require or encourage noise compatibility, and physical methods available to architects, designers, and builders to reduce noise impacts. By considering noise at the source, along its path, and at the point of reception, planners can integrate noise control into broader environmental and community planning goals. The paper argues that this integrated approach can improve quality of life in communities affected by noise sources such as airports.
