[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Noise measurement at Suwon Airfield in Gyeonggi Province will begin on the 5th.

Suwon City announced on the 2nd that the "Suwon Airfield 2nd Noise Measurement," led by the Ministry of National Defense, will be conducted for 8 days starting from the 5th to establish grounds for compensating noise damage to residents near Suwon Airfield.

The noise measurement locations are the same as those used in the 1st noise measurement conducted in September last year, including ▲ Seoho Elementary School (Seodun-dong) ▲ Anryong Elementary School (Gokbanjeong-dong) ▲ Shops in front of Miyeong Apartment (Seryu-dong) ▲ Peace Housing (Pyeong-dong) ▲ Tapdong Elementary School (Tapdong) ▲ Samhwan Apartment Building 15 (Guun-dong) ▲ Geosan Apartment Building 102 (Geumgok-dong) ▲ Homaesil GS Apartment Building 115 (Homaesil-dong) ▲ Gohyeon Elementary School (Gosaek-dong) ▲ Suwon Gwonsun Kkum-e Green Building 110 (Omokcheon-dong).

This noise measurement follows the regulations for investigating noise impact at military airfields under the "Act on Prevention of Noise and Compensation for Damage at Military Airfields and Military Shooting Ranges."

At each location, measurements will be taken continuously for 24 hours at a height of 1.2 to 1.5 meters from the ground or floor. Aircraft noise levels, number of aircraft operations, training details, and any unusual noise such as from parking areas will be recorded at the measurement points.

The results of the 1st measurement conducted at the end of last September and the 2nd measurement will be analyzed and verified, and used to designate and announce noise control areas by the end of this year.

A Suwon City official explained, "From 2022 onwards, affected residents will be able to receive compensation without having to file lawsuits," adding, "We plan to allow local residents to participate in all processes of the noise impact investigation."
