Abstract	ACOUSTICAL SCALE MODELING: A PLANNING AND DESIGN TECHNIQUE FOR MEETING ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE STANDARDS by Dean Robert Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of City Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology May 1978 The thesis describes a research project undertaken to evaluate the application of acoustical scale modeling as a planning and design technique for noise abatement projects. An instrumentation package developed under the RANN acoustical modeling project at the MIT Acoustics and Vibration Laboratory was used to predict the excess attenuation which would be achieved by various noise abatement design alternatives proposed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for Interstate 93 in Somerville, MA. Measurements of an impulsive noise source on two 1:50 scale models of neighborhood areas adjacent to the highway were taken to assist community residents in choosing the most appropriate abatement alternative. The paper describes the various issues investigated and the results, and it evaluates the usefulness of the technique. It also explores various aspects of community interaction in the process and evaluates this technique as an educational and participatory device. Professor Aaron Fleisher Thesis advisor:
