Abstract
In recent years, the achievement of the environmental quality standards in areas facing roads has been improved. On the other hand, many residents along arterial roads are still annoyed by road traffic noise. In this paper, focusing on roadside environments of arterial roads, we try to develop a hierarchical evaluation structure model of dissatisfaction with the roadside environments based on the answers to open-ended questions of residents themselves. By deciphering the evaluation structure model, we can clarify the reasons for the dissatisfaction with road traffic noise and measures to resolve them and comprehend the position of road traffic noise in roadside environments
