Abstract

Admittedly the metropolitan areas in development countries are environments that present numerous environmental problems of use and occupation land, among them: lack of wastewater treatment; irregular occupation of the grid; increased waterproofing; “heat islands”; intense levels of ambient noise, etc. Acoustic well-being in these spaces is of fundamental importance for the promotion of their use and permanence. In the city of Umuarama-PR there are currently thirty public squares. This work will address the representative squares located in Avenida Brazil, a major axis of the city which covers the squares Santos Dumont, John Paul VI and Plaza Brasília. Is presented an analysis of the seasonal regime of loudness and levels of environmental noise in multiple points of these squares, with a focus on exposure suffered by its users and regulars.

Keywords - squares, noise, public places, acustic comfort, landscaping.
