Survey Sample

SYNOPSISA domiciliary survey (sample size circa 6000) was conducted in areas of different aircraft exposure affected by London (Heathrow) Airport. Respondents were urban dwellers age 16+. Since no differences were found in the prevalence of manifest psychiatric disorders, the frequency of 27 individual acute and chronic symptoms was investigated. Many acute symptoms showed an increase with noise, and this was particularly evident for waking at night, irritability, depression, difficulty in getting to sleep, swollen ankles, burns/cuts/minor accidents, and skin troubles. Two chronic symptoms, tinnitus and ear problems, showed evidence of an increase with noise, while most chronic symptoms were more common in low noise conditions. Results are controlled for the effects of age, sex and other standard epidemiological variables. Irrespective of their association with noise, most symptoms, chronic and acute, were more frequent among those respondents who also reported high annoyance. Suggestions for the analysis of surveys of health effects by noise are put forward.

The purpose of this article is to examine inclusive access criteria and explore the significance of post-occupancy evaluation (POE) for establishing and sustaining social inclusion in urban centres. Since the post-occupancy evaluation research framework was drawn on for appraising urban open space's accessibility and usability for people with and without physical disabilities, the POE methodology could be adapted for similar urban contexts and was tested on the upgrade projects in Kyrenia Town Centre (KTC) for use by both disabled and non-disabled people. A survey and structured observations with behavioural mapping were used to test urban space user's preferences, needs and satisfaction levels regarding desirable qualities of urban centres: adaptability, safety, comfort, dignity, density, legibility and autonomy. Using representative samples, a survey (sample size = 383) was initially conducted and then systematic observations (sample size = 1620) were performed to obtain data necessary to complete behavioural maps. The survey findings showed that the KTC possesses physical and social barriers, which represent challenges for both disabled and non-disabled users. Therefore, post-occupancy evaluation could be beneficial for the development of inclusive design policy and should be a necessary component of design process in order for determining what is needed to create the most inclusive environment by including disabled segments of the community.
