Outline of Final Research Achievements

This survey was conducted in November 2016, one year after the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line. Questionnaires were distributed to the inhabitants of 20s and the older living in detached houses along the railway in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures by mailing method. We selected 1,980 households for survey cooperation and got 1,0022 responses. The main question items were as follows: housing and living environments, transportation facilities (including noise and vibration), lifestyle habits and individual factors. We examined the relationship between noise and community responses. Annoyance caused by respondents in area without conventional railway was significant higher than that in other area. Evaluation of falling asleep disturbance and dissatisfaction of opening window were also influenced by existence of conventional railway in residential area.
We are planning to investigate the combined effects of noise and vibration in the future.
