Abstract

Mechanical Engineering Classical Physics environmental noise regulation policy
Environmental noise regulations can be analysed in terms of the public policy process used to develop and implement them. The policy process is best viewed as occurring in a series of stages and as being acted out by a range of different players. The role of 'technofficials' varies from totally controlling to fully facilitative. These two approaches are compared in terms of a technofficial-centred model and a collaborative model of the noise policy process. Two case studies from different Australian jurisdictions are compared. It is argued that the collaborative model of public policy is more appropriate and results in more effective noise control regulation.
