MONITORAMENTO TERMO-ACÚSTICO EM ESPAÇOS PÚBLICOS ABERTOS – O CASO DAS PRAÇAS DO MUNICÍPIO DE UMUARAMA – PR

Abstract

In this paper is presented a sound environment evaluation in the Squares: Santos Dumont, John Paul VI and Brasilia in the city of Umuarama – PR – Brazil, taking into account the context and seasonality. Here are contained tables and quantitative maps, with levels of noise in decibels. Are presented a survey in form of tables and quantitative mappings along with some considerations of the current status. It is also presented a history, description, and current situation of the above squares. The studies were based on measurements "in locus", exploratory and photographic survey walks. Such surveys were used to support the preparation of tables and maps of masses that will provide inputs for the analysis for future noise barriers, effective solutions for open public areas like these. Ending with some recommendations for the optimization of the methodology employed in this work. Index Terms - thermo-acoustic survey, Squares, Environmental Comfort, Noise measurements.
