摘要

Vancouver International Airport, located in Vancouver British columbia, Canada, opened a new 3,030 metre parallel runway in November of 1996. In order to scientifically assess community response, the Vancouver International Airport Authority (Airport Authority) commissioned BBN Technologies to undertake "before" and "after" social surveys of nearby residential communities. The Airport Authority is unaware of anther airport completing a noise social survey both prior to and following a similar runway expansion project.
