Traffic Noise Impact in Perspective of City Ecology
Abstract
Noise traffic is the main problem in urban area which resulted by vehicle traffic transportation. The impact of traffic noise covers auditory and non-auditory effect human’s life. In addition, high intensity of traffic noise has disturbed human social life ecologically. Feeling of annoyance resulted by high intensity of traffic noise will influence to the human behavior in driving of vehicles as indirect impact to human social life. In consequence, loss of life and material due to traffic accident is the part of human behavior. This study area is in Pekanbaru city where the relation between number of accident and growth of vehicle in each year indicating fluctuate condition.
