Belts of trees and bushes situated between the noise source and the receiver can reduce the noise level perceived by the receiver [13-38]. A number of studies have examined the acoustic performance of vegetation in reducing noise [30, 38-46]. The previously researches which were made in Konya were reported that the noise which is derived from traffic had been reached to the level of important dimensions [47-48]. The plant groups which were consisted from Pyracantha coccinea M., Cotoneaster horizontalis Decne., Berberis thunbergii D.C., Cotoneaster dammeri C.K., Forsythia intermedia Zab., Juniperus horizontalis L., Spirea vanhouetti Briot., Tamarix tetranda L., Euonymus japonica L. were used in a width of 5m, 9m and 20m to determination of decreasing effect on the noise in Konya.
