As urbanization progresses, urban stress has become an increasingly prominent concern, diminishing city residents' well-being and overall quality of life. Responding to these challenges, nature-based solutions involving urban greenery have emerged as potential stress mitigators, providing...

Urban noise depends on several factors from which Traffic Noise is the most important. City centers and main access roads are usually over exposed that is, average day-evening-night noise level [LDEN] and/or rest expose level [LNIGHT] surpasses a threshold of healthy exposure. About 35M...

Using Lorenz-type curves, means tests, ordinary least squares, and locally weighted regressions (LWR), we examine the relative burdens of whites, blacks, and Hispanics in Georgia from road and air traffic noise. We find that whites bear less noise than either blacks or Hispanics and that blacks...

This article reports a complete two stage hedonic analysis for road noise. For the estimation of the hedonic price function I develop a spatial research design which simultaneously reduces the risk of omitted variable bias and the risk of measurement error in the noise measure. The preference...
