Noise pollution, especially road traffic noise-in terms of population exposure-has become a major problem in Seoul. However, although noise can be sensed directly, it is considered somewhat less important compared to other environmental pollutions. In this study, we chose nine districts in Seoul and distributed a questionnaire containing 23 questions in related to the awareness of noise pollution for 950 people living in Seoul. The results were analyzed according to the citizens' awareness on the whole, age, occupation, and were compared to the actual noise level measured by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The analysis of the questionnarie show that road traffic noise is considered to be the main source of noise pollution in Seoul. People think that the individual and the Seoul Metropolitan Government are most responsible for the noise reduction in Seoul, but replies only little effort is put into when asked whether one has made any personal effort to reduce noise. We have concluded that noise pollution is not considered a hazardous problem to most Seoul citizens, and that most of them seem to be used to it. Yet, specific noise reduction policies, especially road traffic noise, are expected to take effect as quality of life is pursued due to economic enhancement.

Ship noise is one of the important factors for the living and health of seafarers, and ef orts to reduce ship noise are actively underway. There are two methods of noise reduction: passive noise Control (PNC) and active noise control (ANC). Unlike cars and airplanes, ANC is not widely used for noise reduction on ships. This study aimed to reduce the noise generated in the engine room by using soundproof panels and high-frequency vibration generators, as well as active noise control (ANC). For this purpose, an experimental model was made using an acrylic box, and the noise reduction effect was measured under four conditions. The experimental results are as follows: First, the soundproof panel had a noise reduction effect in all ranges from 55 dB to 85 dB. In the case of using a high-frequency vibration generator, there was no ef ect in the low noise range such as 55 dB(A), but there was a noise reduction effect in the high noise range such as 70.8 dB(A) and 85 dB(A).Second, when the soundproof panel and the high-frequency vibration generator were used simultaneously, the noise reduction ef ect was up to -2.2 dB(A). The results of this experiment were obtained from an experimental model made of acrylic, and they may be different from actual ships made of steel plate. In future studies, we plan to experiment using iron plate (considering the material, thickness, and structure) used in actual ships. We hope that this study will help to improve the living environment and health of seafarers on ships.

Effects on increased noise influenced residents on the urban areas as well as the rural areas because of rapidly increasing traffic volume and newly-constructed road. The object of this study is to better establish environmental policy for the year 2000s through analyzing current environment administration system in the field of noise and vibration. Noise and vibration administration system in Korea is composed of various standards in areas of noise environment, traffic noise regulation, living noise regulation, factory noise and vibration regulation, and aircraft noise regulation. Furthermore, there exists environment noise and vibration monitoring networking system. This study is to improve noise and vibration administration system through analyzing present condition and problems. This study suggests improved noise and vibration administration system by achieving four steps ; 1) goal establishment in noise and vibration administration system; 2) development of reduction mitigation method; 3) estimation of reduction mitigation method; 4) establishment of enforcement method. Proposed "Noise and Vibration Policy Committee" should be established to harmonize noise and vibration policy on scientific basis for the $21^{st}$ century.

The purpose of study was to survey the indoor noise of apartment houses, residents, attitudes and their adaptation behavior in order to offer the information helpful to apartment designers and residents, in their housing policy. Documentary research and questionnaire survey methods were used in this research. The sample was taken from 187 housewives living in apartments in Seoul. Data were analyzed with the SPSS program. The results were as follow : 1. It was found that apartment residents pointed out washing machine noise inside the home, piano and other musical instruments noise outside the home. 2. Piano and other musical instrument noise were heard at 3 to 6 pp.m. when residents heard the noise, and water supply and drainage noise in bathrooms were found most noisy. 3. Apartment residents were discontent with noise outside the home, and they displayed positive adaptation behavior at a reduced noise level. 4. Attitudes arising from indoor noise in apartment houses and human noise, water supply and drainage noise, doorway opening and closing noise were found to be significant in sampled apartment groups. 5. The youngest child's age was a significant variable on the residents' attitudes and adaptation behavior of indoor noise in apartment houses. 6. Between the resident' attitudes and adaptation behavior involving indoor noise in apartment houses. 6. Between the resident' attitueds and adaptation behavior involving indoor noise apartment houses, the more they became discontented, the more quickly they adapted in a postive manner.

Recently, with the increasing of construction works, large construction equipment are used to reduce the term of work and labor cost in construction field. Therefore, construction equipment noise has caused much annoyance for a number of dweller in nearby construction field and it has become a very serious problem in our living environment. Neverthless, in our country, adequite guidelines for the construction equipment noise are very deficiency because of the lack of basic data and insufficient research works. From this point of view, this study attempts to survey the characteristics and prediction of piling noise in oil pressure method. On the basis of measurement value, we analysed about prediction possibility of piling noise in oil pressure method.

Noise and vibration induced by subway operation is one of the major problem for the residents living nearby railway tracks. Many scientists and engineers have been working on the more accurate prediction of noise and vibration to provide the better residential environment. Some prediction equations were determined to compare the measurement value of a noise obtained from the inside of a residential area. It was observed that the condition of a soil type is one of the major parameter which should be considered to obtain the more accurate prediction value of a noise.

In this study, focuses on noise reduction between floors in the civil and architectural fields. Specifically, it investigates the application of newly developed 3D Textile to slabs to reduce interfloor noise. The effect of 3D Textile, through performance analysis via experiments and noise analysis using finite element method, provides a new understanding of noise reduction technology, and is expected to contribute to the improvement of living quality in residential spaces.
