Airport Noise Management

1. What approach to local planning involvement (contingency valuation measurement or local authority veto) in the airport noise abatement process in the United States would lead to the highest level of social benefits over social costs?

2. What approach to local planning involvement (contingency valuation measurement or local authority veto) in the airport noise abatement process in the United States would lead to the highest level of economic benefits over economic costs?

Based on the research findings, a conclusion was drawn that the CVM approach to local planning participation in the airport noise abatement process is superior to a local authority veto option. The CVM approach could establish non-use values at a level that would cause governments and air transportation companies to opt for the distant-siting of regional airports.

This study examined the development and application of urban planning policies designed to provide for noise abatement in the vicinity of metropolitan area airports. Non-planning policies relevant to the planning process also were examined. The problem statement, study purpose, research questions, and conceptual definitio

ble (McGarity, 1983, p. 167). In essence, the Kalder-Hicks approach is in theory applied as a means causing beneficiaries of a specific economic decision to pay for the social capital employed for their private benefit. There are two principal regulatory approaches that are employed to bring about this situation in which beneficiaries of economic decisions are made to pay for the social capital employed for their benefit (McGarity, 1983, p. 168). The first of the two approaches is the media-quality-based approach. In this approach, as it is applied in environmental protection, specific standards are established for the social capital resource involved. If water is the social capital resource involved, a standard of purity, or cleanliness, for water would be specified, without regard to the costs associated with such standards, and without regard to the technological feasibility of attaining such standards (McGarity, 1983, p. 160). The second of these regulatory approaches is the technology-based approach, in which an appropriate environmental protection technology is specified, without regard to the quality of the media concerned (McGarity, 1983, p. 160). In this approach, specific standards of water purity, as an example
