Shelter - Noise vs well-being

What kind of problems can we have in the neighborhood? The main problem that we have focused on is the noise, because it is an essential matter relating to well-being. Noise can be really disturbing and disrupts the activity and balance of human life. In this specific case we have predicted the noise levels throughout the day and concluded that there is a peak in the morning, from when everyone leaves home to go to work, either by car or by bus. This noise level is also due to the trucks that brings the goods to the market, which leads to another problem that is the fact that the truck blocks the street to evacuate the goods, causing a lot of traffic and, therefore, increasing the noise and people’s dissatisfaction. The noise also increases during the lunch time because of the school canteen and the coffee shop. When people are coming back home there’s another peak due to the traffic, less intense than in the morning as people return home at a larger range of day time. The main issue is the noise that starts at night due to the pub, which disturbs a lot the residents who cannot sleep until about 4h in the morning. Even alter the pub closes, there are drunk people yelling, breaking glass bottles, spilling the garbage on the floor. This is a serious problem for the neighborhood, causing not only sleep disturbing, but also creating an non secure environment where people don’t feel well. So it is essential to solve this issue creating trust and presence.
