Study of Sound Pressure Levels through the Creation of Noise Maps in the Urban Area of Latacunga City using Plithogenic n-Superhypergraphs

Abstract

Acoustic pollution has become an increasing problem in urban areas, and its monitoring is crucial for protecting public health. In Latacunga, the presence of noise sources has affected the quality of life of its inhabitants. Therefore, the study focused on monitoring sound pressure levels and identifying the areas most affected by acoustic pollution. The Plithogenic n-SuperHyperGraphs were used to analyze the interactions between noise sources, impacted areas, and regulatory frameworks. Among the results, it was observed that measurements were taken at 12 critical points, especially in high-traffic and commercial activity areas. It was also indicated that there is a priority for implementing public policies to manage noise, including the regulation of sources and promoting solutions such as acoustic barriers. Additionally, managing acoustic pollution using technological tools and advanced methodologies was recommended.
