Factors Affecting Traffic Noise Based On Road Environment Aspects

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze factors affecting traffic noise on arterial and collector roads in Kendari. The factors are road environment aspects, including building density, tree density, leaf lush volume, types of road environment ground surface, as well as temperature. Analytical approach with simple and multiple regression methods was used with SPSS software ver. 22.0. The results show that based on the determination coefficient, partially, tree density has the highest effect by 19%, then leaf lush volume 9.7%, temperature 9.1%, building density 8.7%, and types of road environment ground surface 5.8%. However in this study, the factors significantly affecting the noise are only tree density, leaf lush volume, and temperature. It is based on the value of sig-ï¡ < 0.05. Simultaneously, the variability of noise levels can be explained by the variables of tree density, leaf lush volume, and the air temperature by 31.1%, while 68.9% is explained by other factors not examined in this study
