Abstract

Soundscape is an inseparable element of landscape, thus being a component of the location of a specific property. Noise in the environment represents a serious danger for public health. Often unusual sounds of nature are disrupted, especially in cities, by road noise, which is the main threat to acoustic climate. The aim of this paper is to identify the influence of the vicinity of a national road on housing prices in a selected local market. The log-linear regression to assess the influence of the vicinity of a national road on housing prices was applied. Some other factors which have an impact on the prices of flats were also taken into account. The designed model showed that dwellings located in the zone affected by increased noise were cheaper than those located beyond it. The results of our survey may appear useful in spatial planning and in evaluating the costs of road investments, including the assessment of environmental impact.
