European and Italian laws establish that agglomerations of more than 100 000 inhabitants must adopt an action plan in order to manage noise issues and effects. The plan aim is to reduce population exposure to environmental noise, which is defined as the outdoor sound created by human activities, including noise emitted by road traffic, rail traffic and air traffic, and noise from sites of industrial activity. Although acoustic pollution represents one of the main causes of annoyance for inhabitants of urban areas, the political agenda does not acknowledge it among the main environmental issues. Thus, acoustic reclamation is often considered a duty to be accomplished rather than a way to improve quality of life for citizens. Furthermore, financial resources are generally very poor while the acoustic critical situations are numerous and serious in terms of exceeding the limit. In this situation, what is the meaning of an urban area noise action plan? What are the concrete actions that municipalities can realise to reduce urban noise pollution? This study tries to answer these questions, starting from the analysis carried out for the action plan of the city of Turin.
欧洲和意大利法律规定，居民人数超过10万的聚居区必须制定行动计划，以管理噪音问题及其影响。该计划的目标是减少居民接触环境噪音的机会，环境噪音被定义为由人类活动产生的室外声音，包括道路交通、铁路交通和空中交通发出的噪音，以及工业活动场所发出的噪音。尽管噪音污染是城市地区居民烦恼的主要原因之一，但政治议程并未将其视为主要环境问题之一。因此，噪音治理通常被视为一项必须完成的任务，而不是改善市民生活质量的一种方式。此外，财政资源通常非常匮乏，而噪音临界情况在超标方面众多且严重。在这种情况下，城市地区噪音行动计划的意义何在？市政当局为减少城市噪音污染可以采取哪些具体行动？本研究试图从对都灵市行动计划的分析入手回答这些问题。
