An Airport's Negative Impacts On A Surrounding Community

One of the immediate challenges Valley residents faced after the war was where to house the large number of incoming veterans who either never went back home after the war or moved here shortly thereafter. One emergency solution, by means of a $300,000 state grant, was Airport Village. Temporary, war-surplus style housing was brought in on trailers and set on piers on an unused plot of ground by the airport, just outside of San Jose. But this effort hardly made a dent in the housing shortage.

Airports are the heart of travel for many to conveniently travel from one location to another, whether the distance was 50 miles or internationally. With the advancements in technology, it has provided the ability for individuals to have access to parts of the world that once only been available to a select few. With such technological advances, our society will not be able to rewind back to

The Denver International Airport project consists of designing and constructing a new airport, based upon a

Lastly, traffic causes noise and air pollution that make the city less attractive place to live. Since the traffic on the interstates create a large amount of noise, the price of homes near the interstate are reduced or become harder to attract homebuyers. Also, the amount of pollution created from automobiles on the road, contaminated the air that sometimes lead to heath problems over

This paper include analyse of main environmental issues, such as: impact on agriculture, forestry and soils; air quality; climate, community, cultural heritage, ecology, land quality, visual effects, noise/vibration, waste material resources and water resources/ flood risk.

To avoid congestion and operating conflicts between large commercial aircraft and small GA aircraft, the FAA has designated some airports near major airports as reliever airports. Several of these high-capacity GA airports may serve a major metropolitan area providing access to the surrounding areas without experiencing delays at busier commercial airports. The NPIAS defines Reliever Airports as having at least 100 aircraft based at the airport or have 25,000 annual itinerant operations (Young,

Denver’s geographic location and the growing size of its population and commerce made it an attractive location for airline hubbing operations. There was a growth on the determination of the “ pro New Airport”.

Noise pollution is an environmental problem that can threaten the health and well-being of everyone exposed. The O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is a bustling airport in Chicago, Illinois, that appears to have issues with noise pollution. In 2014, O’Hare received over 268,000 complaints about the jet noise that came from the airport. By comparison, that is more than 11 times the number of complaints that the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) received, and JFK received the second highest number of complaints (O’Hare, 2016). O’Hare was the fourth busiest airport in the world in 2015, so increased noise may be an expected cost of business (List, 2017). The O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission has been working

Cowper-Smith & de Grosbois (2011, p.59) stated that airlines are not currently focusing enough on their social responsibilities, an area in which Qantas should look to be at the head of their industry. The way in which Qantas operates can have monumental impacts not only on their customers but to the environment itself. Planes although a current need in society also come with a heavy amount of baggage which influences the environment. Aircraft noise, impact on local air quality are just some of the by-products of aircraft travel (Goodman, 2009 p.14). The most discussed and criticised issue within aircraft travel in the modern climate however, is the affect that it has on the environment. This is due to amount of emissions in which are consumed through aircraft travel. Shell aviation the “leading global supplier of world-class aviation fuel and lubricants” supplies almost 7000 aircrafts with fuel each day, refuelling a plane every 12 seconds. Qantas airlines should be knowledgeable on how much fuel they are using and the type of fuel they are using. Pollution resulting from greenhouse gasses and emissions can result in horrific consequences for the environment. Examples of costs that Qantas may endure from its impact on the environment could be adding to the growing concern of global warming throughout the world (Kolstad, 1996 p.1). This is leading to issues such as sea level rising, melting of snow and ice and changes to plant growth and nutrition

Over the past couple of years, there has been much debate on whether our city needs a new one terminal airport. The future of Kansas City Airport is an issue that affects everyone in the Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri area. No matter what side of the state line you live on, who you root for (Jayhawks or Tigers), we all share this staple to our community. Unfortunately, this was not considered when the vote came to the public as only residents of Kansas City, Missouri had the ability to vote. No matter who was and wasn't invited to vote, there are many advantages and disadvantages that are shared through us all. Those who supported this project believe that it will bring in more revenue to our city and state. The revenue stems from additional

In my personal view, the construction of new international airport may will benefits Airlines, Homeland, Carpenters, Workers Organization, Electricians, Machine Operators, Government Agencies, Contractors, Politicians, Business Leaders and Design Architect. I am strongly saying this, because the people categorized under this group are mostly graduated with a better qualification. Even there are certain group people still looking for chances for grow up in their living lifestyle. This construction will provide a better job to all of umployees and it may will be a strong fundamental beginning of their carrier as well.

These kind of negative consequences can lead to positive pro-environmental behavior in regards to raising gas prices, building alternate routes around town, keeping sidewalks clean for individuals to walk on, and putting in bike lanes. By raising gas prices individuals do not travel as much so less traffic congestion and pollution, adding alternate routes around the town can help break up the flow of traffic, and adding bicycle lanes, and keeping sidewalks clean will help encourage individuals who live in town to ride bicycles, and walk. Positive consequences of traffic is that it encourages motorist to re-time their road trip to when the traffic is not as congested, and also by reducing speeds can cause less road accidents.

Miami International Airport (MIA) is one of the largest airports in the US. This case study gives the information on the airport, its history and some background. A report provides the information on the ownership type of the airport and its owner. I tried to enlist specific issues and certain facts about the operations and financial information.

The identified dis-benefits of the plan in section 2 are not always eliminated but can be reduced to the acceptable level standardised by regulating bodies such as International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Every stakeholders of the airport must consider sustainability of the environment while planning for future because a careless actions at the present may have huge negative impact on the social, environmental and economic aspect in the future.

A survey completed by the Government Accounting Office of the 50 busiest commercial airports, accounting for 80% of air carrier operations in 1998 revealed that noise, water, and air quality were the top three concerns. About 90% of the management of these airports thought that balancing environmental concerns with airport operations was much more or somewhat more difficult than it was in 1989. Because 13 of these facilities were at or above capacity with another four considered to be at capacity in
