Abstract

The study aims to delimitation levels of traffic noise in the city of Basra, and modeling patterns of its spatial variation of adopting one of the models spatial generation in the ArcGis 10.3 software environment, as well as the degree of these levels according to the sound power. The study tried measurements mediated by Decibel X application during the period from December 2017 until February 2018. The stations have been set as (177) stations distributed on urban Transport Network for the study area (5 public roads), 24 main streets, 8 commercial streets, 46 intersections as well as traffic jams, and 10 flyovers.The study concluded that the tracts and the transport network in the city of Basra served as hot focal points which are caused by intensity of vehicle traffic congestion. And that there are significant differences between lowest and highest for noise value which was recorded depending on the spatial conditions. In addition to the fact that most levels noise that was recorded located within class very disturbing noise.
