Introduction
Hong Kong is facing severe and pervasive environmental noise problems. In our dense metropolitan environment, many residential developments are built in close proximity to heavily trafficked expressways and roads; railways; and industrial establishments that many residents are exposed to high level of environmental noise. Hong Kong is in a way very proactive in managing environmental noise, for examples, roadside barriers were built, enclosures erected along new rail lines, airport located far away city, proactive planning to avoid industrial and residential interface issues etc. However, city size is small but number of residents keeps increasing year and year, which inevitably give huge burden in keeping environmental noise in bay. The HKIOA is exploring if SOUNDSCAPE could be introduced into Hong Kong planning mechanism so that a more proactive acoustical intervention could be in place to supplement the passive way (like erecting noise barriers etc.) of dealing with our environmental noise problems. The HKIOA has pleasure to invite the world renowned speakers to talk to and discuss with us this important subject.
In this symposium, world-renowned experts from United Kingdom, Italy and Hong Kong will share their views and experiences in this important issue. The fundamental of soundscape, the way of assessment and key issues for their applications and the related issues would be addressed.
A certificate of attendance will be awarded to participants. This symposium may be considered to meet in part of the Continual Professional Development (CPD) requirements of the Hong Kong Institute of Acoustics.
You are cordially invited to participate and share your views on the topic.
