Abstract
In last few decades noise pollution has a growing impact on life quality, as a result of inadequate, unplanned urbanization, traffic intensification, usage of obsolete motor vehicles, etc. A number of surveys and monitoring studies in recent decades have shown that noise pollution, as a part of air pollution, presents a real threat to people's health and life quality. Considering this, a two-year monitoring of noise level in three urban areas, City of Skopje and Tetovo (as agglomeration) and Stip (as smaller urban area) have been performed. Municipality of Stip was chosen as a representative of a small urban area with dynamic development, whose noise dispersion model (NDM) can be applied to all other similar urban areas. Based on performed measurements, noise dispersion model for those three urban areas using SoundPLAN Software were developed.
The aim of this paper is to point out the fact that small urban areas, such as Stip, have also a problem with high noise levels. On the other hand, they have no legal obligation to develop strategic noise maps and action plans for solving noise pollution problems, or to asses health effects related to high noise levels and apply noise reduction measures. The paper try to answer the questions; are the small urban areas safe from noise pollution and should they also develop noise reduction action plans?
