This study investigates the status of noise pollution at the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) campus in Sylhet, Bangladesh, employing a GIS-based approach to map and analyze noise levels across different areas of the campus. The research was motivated by the growing concern over environmental noise as a public health issue, particularly in educational settings, where it can significantly impact the well-being and academic performance of students and staff. Utilizing digital sound level meters and GIS technology, noise levels were measured at ten major locations within the campus on both working and non-working days. The findings reveal that noise levels exceeded the permissible limits set by the Department of Environment (DoE) for Bangladesh in several campus areas, particularly in commercial and mixed-use zones. This indicates substantial environmental stressors that could adversely affect the campus community. The study highlights the utility of GIS technology in identifying noise hotspots and suggests the need for targeted interventions to mitigate noise pollution, such as the implementation of noise-reducing infrastructure and the regulation of noise sources. It contributes to the broader discourse on environmental quality in educational settings and underscores the importance of integrating environmental health considerations into campus planning and management practices.
