Charente-Maritime Road Noise Zones from Prefectural Decree 18-1536

The dataset 'Areas affected by noise on the Charente-Maritime (type B zones)' maps noise-affected sectors designated by the current noise classification of land transport infrastructure. It was produced by a GIS workshop in April 2018 by compiling type B noise zones related to road infrastructure, based on a CEEREMA report on strategic noise maps. The dataset was last updated on 2021-09-17.

Use Cases

• Map noise exposure for urban planning based on designated noise-affected sectors.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of noise pollution from road infrastructure.
• Assess compliance with noise zoning regulations based on the noise classification map.
• Support environmental impact studies for transport projects using the compiled noise zones.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a formal Prefectural Decree (No. 18-1536 of 24 July 2018).
• Data was compiled by a GIS workshop using a CEEREMA report on strategic noise maps.
• The dataset is available via an INSPIRE DOWNLOAD SERVICE, suggesting adherence to European geospatial standards.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2021-09-17; freshness should be verified for current applications.
