Residential activity system and Noise Level : case study : residential zone in Erbil City-new Rasty zone

Abstract EN

The research tries to study residential activity system at two levels; firstly to study the spatial distribution of urban activities within neigh bourhood community, and analyze noise level to be compared with planning standards.

Secondly to study neigh bourhood activities through the relationship between urban networks in term of axial lines and the location of the activities in the zone, from other hand to find the relationship between spatial organization and noise level criterion.

The main goal is to achieve efficient urban activities system through spatial location, and the capacity of each activity.

The successful urban system achieves high degree of accessibility in term of walking distance to the facility.

The research's problem represented that most activities in the residential areas didn't take into account spatial location in the relation with urban network and noise level criterion.

The hypothesis is; the spatial organization and noise level doesn't take into account in the residential zones.

The methodology consists of two parts: firstly; theoretical study of the most important literatures including : residential activity system, planning standards according to (Polservice-Iraqi Code,), noise level criterion to be compare with Iraqi code, Secondly , case study includes residential zone in Erbil city.
