1. Controlling noise pollution from transport infrastructure.2. The temporary suspension of the objectives of sound quality in
case of public works infrastructure owned by the Government of Catalonia.
3. Declaring supra-municipal areas (more than one cities).4. Provide technical support, administrative law and necessary for
the preparation of strategic noise maps for local governments and infrastructure owners.
5. Coordinate and approve the strategic noise maps of a metropolitan-wide supra.
6. Gather the strategic noise maps and to comply with the reportingrequirements of Directive 2002/49/EC of 25 June.
Competences of the Department of Planning and Sustainability

7. Declaring an area of special protection for sound (ZEPQA) in areas not included in land development.
8. Coordinate and approve action plans regarding noise from the crowded field of supramuncipal agglomerations.
9. Report of the action plans relating to noise pollution of the big roads, railways, major airports and ports.
10. To support the work of inspection and control of noise pollution, when requested local authorities.
11. Managing the system of accreditation and monitoring bodies for the prevention of noise pollution.

Objective: To obtain data on the population exposed to different noise levels, using GIS tools, across the population data with maps ofexisting noise situation.
The strategic noise maps in Catalonia
Benefit: strategic noise maps with minimal cost. A good compromise between cost and precision of the results.
Philosophy: the money must be spent on making plans and not on the maps.

All maps (>100.000) already carried out in the first phase (Law 16/2002 of Catalonia)
The strategic noise maps in Catalonia – the methodology for the second round
Meeting of the EIONET National Reference Centres fon Noise
Tasks of update of cartography and of data, through selective measurements (short periods & 24 hours).
New calculations of exposed population with data updated in an environment GIS
Improvements: Obtaining of data depending on the typology of source.

Our responsible for drawing up strategic noise maps
1. Infrastructure: Holders of the infrastructure, d evelop and approve.2. Agglomerations:
� Local authorities. The council develops and approves.
� Supra Scope: The municipality prepares and the Department of
Planning and Sustainability (DTES) coordinates and approves.
Town 1
Town 2
� Establish performance
criteria and presentation of
results.� Coordination between
municipalities.
� Quality control.� Technical advice.

The action plans in Catalonia

Action plans 1º phase, done. Our responsible:
� Establish criteria and methodology of format and
structure of the shares (Action
Plan document).� Coordination between
municipalities.
� Technical advice.

Structure of the Action Plan document
In each action is performed, a summary table with the following format:
[1] Type of action: There are 5 types of actions as : regulation and compliance, incentives, investmen ts, strategic actions, awareness and consciousness.
[2] Priority: High, medium or low
[3] Agent that promotes action: Who supports this a ction, for example the technical services of the co uncil.
[4] Agent who directed the action: For whom or who benefits from this action, for example the group of carriers
[5] Description / purpose: A brief description of t he action.
[6] Monitoring: If any monitoring has been done and what, for example, periodic measurements of noise levels
[7] Field of activity: outreach in the town: local or global
[8] Resources: economic expenditure if quantifiable
[9] Benefit: If the expected benefit can be obtaine d, with decreased levels, affected population, ...

Conclusions and future trends – noise maps
STRATEGIC NOISE MAPS:
1. Finding the commitment between accuracy and reasonable cost to make the maps. Better to reserve the costs for the corrective measures.
2. The maps have been based with acoustic measurements. In the next years, it will be necessary to incorporate the calculation/predictive methods into the
methodologies (CNOSSOS-EU)
3. And maybe in the future revision of the directive, will be interesting to
establish certain targets to reach, not only schelude as now , w ill be a good
pressure measure for all.

Conclusions and future trends – action plans
ACTION PLANS:
1. The first phase of the action plans they have been focused on in the
improvement of the most exposed points. It will be necessary to take the
calm zones into account in the following phases.
2. Educating in the need to manage in the long term, between the
road/railway/airports holders and also the towns (politicians and technicians)
