Type of Land Use

Via the menu Options|Land Use, the standard levels for the defined evaluation parameters (see Evaluation Parameters Tab) applying to the different types of noise and the appearance - filling pattern and color - are assigned to the different types of land use. Up to 32 different types of land use may be defined.

These defined types of land use are selectable on the following dialogs: Receiver (see Receiver), Building Evaluation (see Building Evaluation), and Area of Designated Land Use (see Area of Designated Land Use).

Via this dialog new types of land use areas can be defined.

  • Select a blank line in the Land Use table. Just click the white area.
  • Then enter a name and the pertinent standard levels into the boxes for total noise and for each noise type.

The data for „Monetary Data (global)“ are just relevant for evaluations according to BUWAL (see Monetary Evaluation according to BUWAL).

Land Use „(ohne Nutzung)“

By default, the first item on the list of land uses is reserved for the type „(ohne Nutzung)“ (i.e. „without/no use“). The position of this first item shall no be altered or deleted for reason of correct assignment.

„Apply“ button

Clicking this button applies the changes directly, i.e. without having to close the dialog first.

„Save/Load“ buttons

User-defined types of land use can be saved and loaded using these buttons, making them available for other projects.

Colors, Line Style, and Fill

Colors, line style, and filling pattern for representation of the area can then be selected via the pictogramm.

In conjunction with colored noise maps it may be advisable to turn off the filling pattern of land use areas.
