Residents and owners in the arena district need to work together to find creative solutions that will satisfy both needs.
Recommendations
These management issues present challenges that could affect the reputation and future ability of the Roppongi Hills to remain one of the most desirable destinations in Tokyo. The issues with noise from the arena affecting residents could cause populations in the area to decline. Empty apartments are not profitable and make the area look less attractive, which could have an impact on revenues of in the entire area. The perception that management is ignoring the problem is not good public relations policy. A grievance system needs to be put in place so that residents feel they have input into the system. Resolving these issues is the best way to handle these and other similar issues.
The Roppongi Hills contain small areas of gardens that provide a change of scenery for residents and visitors. The most recent project is to increase the amount of green space in the city within the city. Current projects include the installation of rooftop gardens (Green Roofs,...
It is further recommended that green projects such as these continue, as they will increase the ability to enjoy the area. The area's reputation as an art district would also be further enhanced by providing space where activities could take place, increasing both the enjoyment of residents and visitor traffic. The Roppongi Hills area is a city within a city and represents what city planners say is the future and architectural and the city design.

S. However, Russia continues to treat noise exposure as a minor problem. American physicians have associated some seemingly unrelated conditions to sound exposure. Long-term exposure to transportation noise has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk (Babisch, 2006). Hearing loss can occur at even low levels of sound that occur for an extended time (Sisto et al., 2007; Reuter et al., 2007; Dobie, 2007). Noise related hearing loss can occur in
'" (Meer, 1986) But there are still many misleading and conflicting findings that affect Congress' efforts in noise control. While some feel that noise is not a distraction if you are used to it, there are other studies that vehemently oppose such claims. "Noise affects more than our health and quality of life; it even influences social behavior and cognitive development. In 1997, a Cornell University study found that children exposed
Noise pollution might not be as apparently detrimental to health as air or water pollution, but it can be highly disruptive, according to Ember. Some degree of ambient noise is to be expected, especially in city life. However, there is a difference between manageable or tolerable noise, and noise pollution. Noise pollution is defined as noise that is either excessive or unpleasant, and which causes “temporary disruption in the natural
Noise Pollution/Radon High noise levels can have a negative impact on individuals and communities. If a nightclub were to be opened within my neighborhood, the following potential risks must be assessed: "interference with communication; noise-induced hearing loss; sleep disturbance effects; cardiovascular and psycho-physiological effects; performance reduction effects; annoyance responses; and effects on social behaviour" (World Health Organization, 1999). Not only are these health issues detrimental to the individual, but also
(How to Stay Healthy amid Indoor Noise Pollution) Of course, one could also reduce noise emissions indoors by only purchasing electrical appliances with low noise emission levels. Dysfunctional electrical appliances also tend to make more noise and should be repaired. 6. Results and conclusion As many experts reiterate, there is no cure for hearing that has been damaged by noise and noise pollution. In other words, noise pollution is a serious problem that
Noise Controls Engineering controls should be the first choice for dealing with noise pollution issues in the workplace, and this is NIOSH policy - they have three categories that all involve engineering and all three are ranked higher than administrative controls and PPE (NIOSH, 2015). Engineering solutions would include designing noise buffers around particular pieces of equipment, whereas administrative controls would reflect things like supplying protective equipment or scheduling people to
