Because many people suffer from physical and mental damage caused by the noise created by transportation infrastructure, including road traffic, rail, and aircraft, developed countries have conducted research on predicting and solving the impact to human health from being exposed to transportation noise. Therefore, this study suggests a fundamental plan to assess the health impact of transportation noise on the basis of domestic and foreign prediction results regarding the health impact of transportation noise. The domestic and foreign exposure-response expressions, including the noise index and the health impact indicator of annoyance and sleep disturbance, are compared, and it is found that domestic individuals show a more sensitive response to transportation noise. Based on domestic and foreign research, and a case study regarding the health impact of transportation noise, a fundamental plan to assess the health impact of transportation noise comprises the preparation of objective assessment standards through the improvement of exposure-response models, and the establishment of reduction measures which can improve the quality of the transportation noise environment.

The traffic noise of Busan, the second largest city in Korea, is polluting the area. Noise map is a map that shows data on an existing or predicted noise condition in terms of a noise indicator, breaches of a limit value, the number of dwellings exposed to certain values of a noise indicator in a certain area, or on cost-benefit ratios or other economic data on mitigation methods or scenarios with Geographic Information System. With noise map, the effect of traffic noise and the efficiency of city development plan are exactly estimated. So making systematic counteroffer is possible with it. This study is aimed to the construction of basis for noise map construction method for domestic use and the area focus is Busan.

One of the main objectives of noise control act is to define and ensure application and respect of noise exposure limits. Most advanced countries have prepared a legal framework for noise limits either by national laws, ordinances or municipal by-laws. A large number of advaced countries have adopted the $L_{eq}$ index for the main sources of noise (road, railway, industry). The exception is aircraft noise for which regulatory practice is highly disparate. These differences in the indices adopted, the periods and areas to which regulations apply, definitions of measurement conditions and ways in which noise levels are calculated make it difficult to compare the current advanced countries standards. This study presents the current noise abatement policy of the advanced countries and proposes the improvement of the current noise abatement policy of Korea to catch up with it of the advanced countries.

Traffic noise cost can be assessed either by the damage cost approach or by the avoidance cost method. This paper provides an overview of pertinent studies of these two approaches and shows that the damage cost approach is more universal and reliable than the avoidance cost counterpart. This study then investigated three sub-components to address the damage cost framework. First of all, unit value per person exposed to noise per year was calculated. Secondly, the area exposed to noise was determined using noise prediction equation. Thirdly, the number of people affected by noise was computed by multiplying the number of people exposed to noise with the percentage of people affected by noise. This paper also suggested a simplified equation that represents the relationship between damage costs and noise levels. Finally, the benefits of noise reduction derived from the damage cost method and those from the avoidance cost approach were compared and discussed.

자동차가 처음 만들어진 당시에는 목적지까지 무사히 도착하는 신뢰성이 중요한 과제가 되었으리 라 생각된다. 무사히 도착되니 다음은 어떻게 하면 빨리 도착할 수 있을까하는 요구에서 고속화 즉 기관의 고출력화가 이루어졌다. 자동차의 편리함이 인식되고 또 보급됨에 따라 자동차가 주 위한경에 미치는 영향이 문제가 되어 1960년대 후반부터 자동차배출가스규제가 시작되고 이어서 소음규제가 실시되어 점차 강화되고 있다. 1973년부터 시작된 석유위기이래 자동차의 석유사용 량을 저감시키는 목적으로 미국에서는 연비규제가 실시되기에 이르렀고 다른 국가들도 거기에 따르고 있다. 미국의 1975년 에너지정책, 보존법(Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 )은 1974년의 평균연비 14mile/gallon을 1985년까지는 약 2배의 27.5mile/gallon까지 높이고자 하는 것이다. 가까운 일본에서도 약 35%정도 향상되고 있는 실정이다. 자동차의 저연비특성은 제품기능으로 점차 중요시되는 동시에 국가차원에서는 석유에너지절약의 한 방편으로 사회적으 로도 해결하여야할 입장에 이르렀다. 이 에너지 절약 문제는 자동차의 소형화를 포함한 국제 적인 자동차 재개발문제로 발전, 80년대의 신기술개발의 최대과제가 되고 있다. 또 최근의 사용 자의 요구는 운전성, 실용성에 대해서도 까다롭고 또 다양화하고 있다. 이들 요구와 엄격한 배 출가스규제 및 소용규제를 만족시키면서 연비저감을 꾀하느것인 만큼 실로 어려운 일임에는 틀 림없다. 여기서는 가솔린기관 승용차의 연비저감을 중심으로 규제의 상황, 연비의 향상기술에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

Market and consumers are more expecting for government-owned corporations to follow ESG management strategies than private companies. This paper tried to research how much ESG management strategies were applied to airport authority's aircraft noise mitigation policies and to provide recommendations regarding how airport authority compliment their noise mitigation policies from aviation experts' viewpoints using AHP. According to AHP analysis, first of all, it was proven that aviation experts perceived it was important to evaluate financial soundness and eco-friendly management in noise abatement program. Moreover, the experts thought airport authority and local governmen should consider social responsibility in resident assistance program. Finally, they perceived it was also important to evaluate the effectiveness of policy enforcement while airport authority monitored the aircraft's noise reduction procedures.

The car-dependent traffic system based on highly advanced industrialization and economic growth causes various urban problems including traffic jams, energy consumption, air pollution, noise, car accidents and other issues. Particularly in urban areas, air pollution from motor vehicles is worse than pollution from past industrialization. In this study, therefore, the authors grasped car exhaust reduction effects by using microsimulation and those traffic policies that could make cars flow smoothly, reducing the air pollution in urban areas through analysis on profitability. As a result, the weekday-based car using system has been found most effective as it does not need investment cost. However, this system may be socially unacceptable, as it requires the government to change driver behavior. Therefore, the government needs to first reach a consensus with the citizens regarding this system. This system will also be effective with other alternatives. As a follow-up study, the authors will research citizens' perceived impacts of car exhaust on air pollution through a study on preference and grasp the possibility of applying these study results to real traffic policies.
