O combate à poluição sonora em Maceió: análise da Lei municipal n. 6.364/2015, “Lei dos Paredões”

Abstract

Among the laws to combat noise pollution, the “Law of Walls” is specific, as it deals with noise pollution from only one source: the “walls of sound” in the city of Maceió. This too is a short law, but that does not imply that it is incomplete. The law in question not only has restrictions and penalties, but also provides for an educational approach for agents and that educational actions are carried out so that people are aware of the harm caused by this practice, as well as their rights. Given the complexity of noise pollution as well as the difficulty of identifying its damage, it is difficult to establish whether it has occurred and in what proportions. Faced with the proposal to analyze whether this law has the potential to achieve the objective, which is the fight against noise pollution, an analysis of the peculiarities of the Law of Walls of Maceió was carried out and, afterwards, the municipal laws of the capitals were analyzed, as well as the state one dealing with noise pollution.
