Abstract

City Park is one of the public spaces that have many benefits for cities, such as improving the mental health of residents and sustainable environmental quality. The performance and comfort of city parks need to be considered so that these public spaces can function optimally. This study analyzes the comfort level of noise in one specific public space in Bengkulu City. Berkas Beach Park was chosen as the object of the research location that represents the type of urban park in the coastal area. Data was collected by direct measurement of noise conditions using sound level meters at 13 points that were evenly distributed in the Berkas Beach Park site. After that, the data was analyzed using Surfer simulation and comparative statistical technique analysis to get an overview of the noise conditions spreading maps. The results of the findings show that the noise in Berkas Beach Park is in an uncomfortable situation, due to the noise level is 10 dB higher than the standard allowed. This condition requires further action to present the comfortable quality in the environment of Berkas Beach Park.
