由于机场扩建对气候变化和受影响当地社区的生活质量产生潜在影响，因此成为公众激烈争论的问题。本文是第一篇通过将国家级人口统计数据与 17 个英国机场的噪声测量图相结合来分析机场与多种主观幸福感测量之间关系的研究。研究发现，白天航空噪音的存在持续对五项主观幸福感指标产生负面影响。我们发现，飞机噪音每增加一个分贝，就会产生边际负相关。我们发现，幸福感与夜间噪音范围内的生活或机场附近的生活之间没有显着关联。我们得出的结论是，生活在空中交通飞行路径下会对人们的整体和暂时健康产生负面影响，相当于吸烟者对某些健康措施的影响的一半左右。主观幸福感方法的研究结果支持了更广泛的揭示偏好文献，表明受航空噪音影响的地区市场需求较低。
Airport expansion is an issue of intense public debate due to the potential impacts on climate change and the quality of life of affected local communities. This paper is the first study to analyse the relationships between airports and multiple subjective wellbeing measures, by merging national-level population statistics with noise measurement maps for seventeen English airports. The presence of daytime aviation noise was found to consistently negatively impact on five subjective wellbeing measures. We found a marginal negative association with every additional decibel of aircraft noise. We found no significant association between wellbeing and living within night-time noise contours or living in close airport proximity. We conclude that living under air traffic flight paths has a negative effect on peoples’ overall and momentary wellbeing, equivalent to around half the effect of being a smoker for some wellbeing measures. The subjective wellbeing method findings support wider revealed preference literature showing lower market demand in areas affected by aviation noise.
