Correlation between perceived and measured noise, within the gioconda project

The GIOCONDA Project provides an innovative procedure to effectively support the young people involvement in the decision-making processes on environment and health. The procedure is based on the combined evaluation of air and noise pollution measurement results with the risk perception and willingness-to-pay (WTP). A measurement campaign has been developed, while the students reported their risk perception on noise in a questionnaire. The combination of these data could allow the understanding of the gap between the perceived and the objective pollution. Two schools (primary and secondary schools) in four cities along Italy have been involved in the project. Cities have been chosen to represent different situation of noise pollution and environmental contexts. For each school, three classrooms took part in the project. The noise measurement campaigns have been performed to characterize the students' noise exposure in the classrooms, in function of six acoustic parameters and a global noise score, created on purpose to this project.
