Rotterdam The Hague Airport Noise Zoning and Terrain Data

Sound zoning data for Rotterdam The Hague Airport, published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a CC-PDM-1.0 license. The dataset defines noise zones used to limit nuisance for residents and guide spatial planning, with restrictions on new buildings and insulation for existing sensitive structures. The airport operates a 2200 x 45 meter paved runway with a night regime, handling scheduled, charter, and cargo flights.

Use Cases

• Modeling noise exposure for residential areas based on defined noise zones.
• Planning land-use restrictions for new construction near the airport.
• Analyzing the spatial footprint of airport operations for environmental assessments.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of noise insulation programs for existing buildings.
