騒音規制法の対象外である家庭生活騒音について、我が国の自治体における家庭生活騒音対応条例の制定状況と家庭生活騒音の苦情件数の関連について調査した。自治体(市と特別区)毎の「家庭生活騒音」「工場・事業場騒音」「建設作業騒音」の 3 種の騒音の苦情件数と、都道府県と市と特別区各々の例規集を検索して得た家庭生活騒音対応条例からデータセットを作成した。「家庭生活騒音対応条例なし」「都道府県のみに家庭生活騒音対応条例がある」「市と特別区に家庭生活騒音対応条例がある」の 3 群の市と特別区で、3 種の騒音の苦情件数の構成比率に差が生じるか否か検定を行った。3 群によって 3 種の騒音の苦情件数の構成比は有意差があり、残差分析では家庭生活騒音苦情件数の構成比は「家庭生活騒音対応条例無し」の群で有意に増加した。サブグループ解析では、市部の平均人口密度未満では家庭生活騒音苦情件数の構成比は「県の家庭生活騒音対応条例あり」の場合に有意に減少し、市部の平均人口密度以上では家庭生活騒音苦情件数の構成比は「市と特別区に家庭生活騒音対応条例がある」の場合は有意ではないものの、減少傾向を示した。自治体に家庭生活騒音対応条例があることにより、家庭生活騒音苦情件数が抑制的になる関連性が認められた。
In Japan, domestic noise is not covered by national noise control law but left to local governments to regulate. In the interest of reducing domestic noise control, this study investigates the relationship between the existence of domestic noise control ordinances and the number of domestic noise complaints reported to local law enforcement. The data set was compiled from law enforcement noise control surveys and local government databases in Japan. Complaints of “domestic noise,” “industrial noise,” and “construction work noise” were included along with each local body’s relevant ordinances, that is, cities and special wards. These were further divided into three groups: domestic noise control ordinances, ordinances present only in the prefecture, and existing ordinances. For three groups, the number of domestic, industrial, and construction work noise complaints were compared. In the residual analysis, the number of domestic noise complaints significantly increased in locations with no domestic noise control ordinance. In the subgroup analysis by population density, the number of domestic noise complaints decreased significantly in locations with prefecture noise control ordinances and with a population density below the average of cities. In higher population density locations, where domestic noise control ordinances were already in place, the number of domestic noise complaints showed a decreasing trend. The results of the study suggest that the noise control ordinances established by local governments do reduce the number of domestic noise complaints.
