Evaluation model for damage consciousness was established through the survey of 2,210 residents' consciousness on aircraft noise near Taegu Airport. There were none who replied that the level of the aircraft noise was as los as it was quiet. 77(3.5%) people replied the noise was normal, and 2,133(95.5%) people said it was noisy. As to the period of time when the aircraft noise occurred, 51%, 97%, 86%, 0.6% of the residents pointed out the morning time, the day time, the evening time, and the night time, respectively. Because of aircraft noise, 73%, 88%, 70%, 77%, 78%, and 33% of the residents felt it disturbing indoor conversation, telephoning, watching TV or listening to the ratio, reading or meditating, working, sleeping, and studying, respectively. It was examined that the bad effects of aircraft noise on the health were severe : 43% of the resident said they experienced embarrassment. 52% astonishment, 66% absence of mind, 61% heart-beating. 77% headaches, 78% earache, and 93% displeasure. For the survey of the residents' damage consciousness about aircraft noise, the level of aircraft noise was set as an objective variable, and gender, age, occupation. Education, the type of house, the structure of windows, the consciousness of settlement in the district, and the period of residence were set as explanatory variables. And the quantification theory I was applied to the analysis. The most influencing factor of the damage consciousness on aircraft noise was the education, the second occupation, the third age, the forth the consciousness of settlement, the fifth the period of residence, the sixth gender, the seventh the type of house, and the least influencing factor among them was the structure of windows. These findings will be a useful guideline when the government seeks to set up policies which will help solve the resident's noise problems near Taegu Airport.

In this study, damages due to the aircraft noise were examined in more than 190 elementary, middle and high schools near the airports in Korea, and the persecutory idea forecast model was established using the quantification theory type II. Via the survey of 1,012 teachers in the schools, a class interference forecast model was established, and the noise characteristics of five areas, four military/civil common-use airports and one shooting range, were examined. The following conclusions were made from the study. WECPNL values in the five military/civil common-use airports showed that all of them were Class 1 or 2 affected areas, which indicated that they had serious aircraft noise problems to be addressed. The most influential factor in the aircraft noise persecutory idea model was the distance between the airport and the school. It showed a positive relationship at a distance of less than 5 km, and a negative relationship at a distance of 10 km or more. The number and time of aircraft noise exposure as well as the types of airports and window structures had strong influences. The forecast model had a correlation ratio of 0.56, which indicates that it is highly appropriate. In the class interference factor analysis, the time and number of aircraft noise exposure were strong influential factors, and the results varied according to the service duration and sex of teachers. This model had a correlation ratio of 0.61, which indicates it is highly appropriate.
