Evaluation of mass housing settlements in terms of wind and noise control: Istanbul and Diyarbakir as a case

Fatih KİRAZ

In mass housing apartments, the comfort and quality of living conditions may be adversely affected by wind and noise especially on balconies, terraces, gardens and around swimming pools etc. The quantitative and empirical testing of building models according to physical conditions with regard to wind and noise parameters directly affects the formation of buildings in the design process. In this paper, two cities (Istanbul and Diyabakır), which are selected from two different climatic zones in Turkey are considered as examples to create maximum comfortable usage areas depending on wind and nois ...Daha fazlası

Effect of mass housing settlement type on the comfortable open areas in terms of noise. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment

Fatih KİRAZ

The layout of the structures according to the noise source is an important parameter in terms of the level of noise reaching to both open usage areas and the structure surfaces. In this paper, it is aimed to reveal the effect of mass housing settlement type on the size of suitable open usage areas in terms of noise. Comfortable open usage areas in 25 mass housing alternatives are determined for the case of being affected by three different road noises. The reliability of the simulation results is validated by on-site noise level measurements. As a result, it is seen that better results are obt ...Daha fazlası
