Laburpena

In this work it is presented a descriptive study about the noise effects on the people living in the area of the historical centre in Málaga. This area was catalogued as acoustically crowded and a high risk area mainly because they are located in the “leisure areas” where the night levels of noise reach higher rates during the night than in the day.These data were given by the town Council of the city after the acoustic assesment performed (acoustic maps) The results of the evaluation of the no acoustic variables were obtained through a questionnaire with 170 points of information answered by 225 participants. In general, data revealed significant differences among the participants living in the saturated and no saturated areas by the noise. Finally, the correlation and interaction analyses have displayed the relations between acoustic and no acoustic aspects of the community noise.
