With the Crowdsourced Spatial Data Collection to Dynamic Noise Map of the City of Zagreb

The most distinctive examples of non-physical pollution that affects the quality of life in the cities are light and noise pollution. The noise pollution results largely from road and rail traffic in cities affecting directly the health of the citizens. Traffic management, dispersion and diversion, as well as the construction of noise barriers are the measures taken by institutions with the aim to reduce the quantity or impact of noise. According to the applicable laws, all larger cities are obliged to make the noise maps. These are mostly strategic noise maps made tightly focused on a certain source of noise and updated every five years in accordance with the regulations. The question is, however, how to register and present the total emission of noise in a certain area? It can be done with the noise map the production of which is presented in this paper. The map presents the total noise emission in a part of Zagreb, and it has been made by including the community into the collection of data and by means of a free application used for measuring the noise.
