The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of different self-reported measures for assessing the human response to environmental vibration from the construction of an urban LRT (Light Rapid Transit) system. The human response to environmental stressors such as vibration and noise is often expressed in terms of exposure-response relationships that describe annoyance as a function of the magnitude of the vibration. These relationships are often the basis of noise and vibration policy and the setting of limit values. This paper examines measures other than annoyance by expressing exposure-response relationships for vibration in terms of self-reported concern about property damage and acceptability. The exposure-response relationships for concern about property damage and for acceptability are then compared with those for annoyance. It is shown that concern about property damage occurs at vibration levels well below those where there is any risk of damage. Earlier research indicated that concern for damage is an important moderator of the annoyance induced. Acceptability, on the other hand, might be influenced by both annoyance and concern, as well as by other considerations. It is concluded that exposure-response relationships expressing acceptability as a function of vibration exposure could usefully complement existing relationships for annoyance in future policy decisions regarding environmental vibration. The results presented in this paper are derived from data collected through a socio-vibration survey (N=321) conducted for the construction of an urban LRT in the United Kingdom.
本文旨在探讨使用不同的自陈式测量方法来评估人类对城市轻轨系统（LRT）建设所产生环境振动的反应。人类对环境胁迫（如振动和噪声）的反应通常以暴露-反应关系的形式表示，该关系将烦恼程度描述为振动幅度的函数。这些关系通常是噪声和振动政策以及限值设定的基础。本文通过用自陈式对财产损失的关注和可接受性来表示振动的暴露-反应关系，研究了除烦恼之外的其他措施。然后，将对财产损失的关注和可接受性的暴露-反应关系与烦恼的暴露-反应关系进行比较。结果表明，对财产损失的关注发生在振动水平远低于可能造成任何损害的水平。早期的研究表明，对损害的关注是引起烦恼的一个重要调节因素。另一方面，可接受性可能受到烦恼和关注的影响，以及其他因素的影响。因此，结论认为，表达可接受性作为振动暴露的函数的暴露-反应关系可以在未来有关环境振动的政策决策中，对现有的烦恼相关关系进行补充。本文所呈现的结果来自于通过英国城市轻轨建设中的社会振动调查（N=321）收集的数据。
