PERMASALAHAN KEBISINGAN DI KOTA DENPASAR

Abstract

Research on the condition of air pollution in Denpasar City was carried out in
the mid of 2007. Aims of this activity was to find out noise levels which occured on
different sites with different uses, so the solution for the problems can be found out and
the impact can be minimised.
Data on noise levels were measured by using sound level metres, while sampling
sites were determined by GPS, so replication can be exactly made on the same sampling
locations. Fivty measurements were made on the sites where impacts of noise
encountered by activities surrounding them.
Results of the study showed that on the schools, settlements, and open-green area
the noise levels have exceeded the benchmarks. As a result, some efforts need to be
carried out , such as improvements of roads, and planting more trees which were not only
used to minimized noise levels but also can improve aestetic levels of the city.
