Noise Zones for Five Regionally Important Industrial Sites

A geospatial representation of noise zones around five regionally important industrial sites, showing areas where sound levels exceed 50 dB(A). The data was produced by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties and is available in WFS, PNG, and WMS formats under a CC-PDM-1.0 license. The delimitation of the industrial sites was established by the concerned municipalities.

Use Cases

• Modeling noise pollution dispersion based on defined industrial site boundaries.
• Assessing regulatory compliance for noise levels based on the 50 dB(A) threshold.
• Planning urban development and residential zoning based on noise exposure maps.
• Integrating noise zone data with other GIS layers for environmental impact studies.

Strengths

• Defines a specific noise threshold of 50 dB(A) for analysis.
• Covers five regionally important industrial sites.
• Available in multiple standard geospatial formats (WFS, PNG, WMS).
• Published by a government ministry (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
