Data batch direct download service (WFS): Noise in the Environment — Vaucluse (84) — Lot Sheet

Article L.572-3 of the Environmental Code defines noise maps. They provide a diagnosis of the noise environment for sources of noise related to land transport (road and rail), airport noise, as well as industrial noise. Article L.572-6 of the Environmental Code defines environmental noise prevention plans as documents which ‘are intended to prevent the effects of noise, to reduce, where necessary, noise levels and to protect quiet areas’. The Environmental Noise Data Standard contains all the technical information to describe the Strategic Noise Maps (CBS) and the Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBE) in the form of interoperable spatial data of Directive 2002/49/EC of 25 June 2002, transposed into French law by Articles L.572-1 to L.572-11 of the Environmental Code. In Vaucluse, noise maps relate only to noise sources related to land transport (road and rail). The Directive does not identify airports for the purpose of carrying out CBSs. Industrial noises are mapped only in the context of the agglomerations identified by the Directive, and there are no such noises in Vaucluse.
