Abstract
This study conducts an in-depth spatial analysis of aircraft noise complaints in the vicinity of São Paulo’s CGH Airport, investigating the relationship between the complaints and spatial factors. The research focuses on flight paths, runway distance, noise zoning, predominant land use, building height, population density, and tree density. The analysis reveals a strong correlation between residential land use and high levels of noise complaints, particularly in low-density residential areas. Additionally, the study finds that noise complaints are heavily concentrated along the primary approach and departure paths of the airport. Notably, a significant proportion of complaints originate from areas outside the established noise zoning contours. Furthermore, the study identifies that building height does not have a substantial influence on the spatial distribution of noise complaints, while lower tree density areas tend to have higher complaint rates. The results obtained reinforce the importance of a comprehensive understanding of the spatial dimensions of aircraft noise as an essential analysis for developing effective noise mitigation strategies. This study calls for a collaborative effort among urban planners, environmental scientists, and aviation experts to address this complex issue and improve community resilience through lower-noise aircraft operations.
