Summary/Abstract: Geographic Information System database for noise pollution have to contain all the elements required in order to combine the field of transportation with those of phonic pollution and land measurement. The information provided by the GIS and the one obtained using the modeling software, determine more efficient monitoring and more accurate assessment of the noise impact on the environment and human health.This paper presents the way of improving the database with new elements by classifying the buildings and handling the noise maps. These new elements are necessary to achieve optimal action plans at the lowest cost.
