Abstract

Recently a number of social surveys on community response to environmental noises have been conducted to summarize response relationship obtained from different areas. Some problems have been pointed out in comparing the result of surveys using verbal scales with different number of categories. ICBEN (International Commission on Biological Environment of Noise) Team 6 planned a international joint study and constructed comparable standardized noise annoyance scales using the same method. In Korea the survey was conducted in four areas such as Seoul, Taejon, Taegu, Kwangju. About 100 subjects participated in each area approximately. Finally five verbal annoyance were constructed as follows; 1 (Jeonhyu), 2 (Jokm), 3 (Bikyojerk), 4 (Ajoo), 5 (Umcheongnage).
