Methodology:

Data preparation for accessibility calculation
• Building road network in ArcGIS
• Assigning attributes by road type
                                Road type Speed (km/h)
                                 Motorway 120
                                 Primary Route 100
                                 Secondary Route 80
                                 Local Road 50
• Selection of urban agglomerations > 50 000 inhabit

Creation of a service area analysis layer at country level from the road network with the following analysis parameters:
• Impedance (Cost attribute in minutes).
• Default Breaks (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes).
• Generate polygons.
• Dissolve polygons by service area
• Aggregation of all the accessibility polygons by country

Quiet areas in Europe The quietness suitability index (QSI) provides the overview with the highest (QSI=1) and lowest (QSI=0) proportion of potential quiet areas in Europe.

Used in publications

Quiet areas in Europe — The environment unaffected by noise pollution Noise pollution is a major problem for Europe’s environment. Transport and industry are the main sources of concern and prolonged exposure can damage human health and adversely affect ecosystems. European legislation aims to reduce noise pollution and also highlights the need to preserve areas that are currently unaffected. These so called quiet areas are an important component of the European soundscape and may offer havens away from noise pollution. This report sets out to identify where these potential quiet areas might be and offers an insight into how they could benefit the human and wildlife populations that inhabit or benefit from the rural European soundscape that is currently unaffected by noise pollution.
