Analysis of Acceptable Flight Frequency under the Effects of Other People’s Noise-Situations

抄録

This paper examines the effects of other people’s noise-situations on an individual’s maximum acceptable flight frequency (MAFF). Two scenarios for interview questionnaires: with and without additional noise information were established under a hypothetical setting. Two MAFF models, one that tests for effect of available noise information and another testing for effect of other people living in different noise-affected zones, were estimated using data from a pilot survey based on a developed headphone interview system. Results of the first model indicated a significant effect of the available noise information on MAFF. From the second model, it was found that MAFF would increase if subjects took into account the noise-situations of people living in the high noise-affected zone, all else being held constant. For those located in the moderate noise-affected zone, the results suggest a reduction in MAFF. There was an increase in MAFF if subjects did not consider anyone else’s noise-situation.
