The objective of this conference was to help the local authorities implement one of the main lines of the 2002/49/EC European directive regarding the management of noise in the environment: the preservation of “quiet areas.” Indeed, the definition of these areas is left open in the regulations and the authorities in charge are free to choose the determination criteria.
During this day, several French and European authorities presented their feedback on this aspect of the action plan. On this occasion, Bruitparif ran a participative workshop on the different perceptions of the quiet based on an experimentation carried out on 3 sites in Paris.
