在日本进行了两个系列的社会调查，社区对铁路噪声的反应，以评估两个口头尺度和一个数字尺度之间的关系，以及四个基本描述符之间的关系。在第一次调查中，准备了两种类型的问卷，其中0-10点的数字量表与4点或5点的口头量表相结合。关键问题涉及铁路噪声引起的烦恼、活动干扰和相关影响。根据剂量-反应关系比较社区反应。关于回答“非常恼火”的受访者的百分比，发现两种口头量表之间没有系统性差异。研究亦发现，噪音烦扰程度的四点或五点的口头评分与11点的数字评分相对应，以百分比的规模步骤。在第二次调查中，编制了四类问卷，每类问卷使用四个基本描述符中的一个。比较了四个基本描述符之间的一般噪声烦恼的社区反应。四个基本描述符之间没有发现系统性差异。(C)2004 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
Two series of social surveys on community responses to railway noise were carried out in Japan to evaluate the relationships between two verbal scales and a numeric scale, and those among four base descriptors. In the first survey, two types of questionnaires were prepared in which a 0-10- point numeric scale was used in combination with either a four-point or a five-point verbal scale. The key questions concerned annoyance, activity disturbance and related effects caused by railway noise. Community responses were compared on the basis of the dose-response relationships. Regarding the percentages of respondents who answered, "highly annoyed," it was found that there were no systematic differences between the two verbal scales. It was also found that the extent of noise annoyance rated on the four-point or five-point verbal scale corresponded with that rated on the 11-point numeric scale by percentages of scale steps. In the second survey, four types of questionnaires were prepared, each using one of the four base descriptors. Community responses to general noise annoyance among the four base descriptors were compared. No systematic differences were found among the four base descriptors. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
