Classification of urban park soundscapes through perceptions of the acoustical environments

A comparative study on the effect of soundscape and landscape on tourism experience

“…The most influential is by Axelsson et al (2010); they classified 116 attributes of sound into three dimensions, including pleasantness, eventfulness, and familiarity, then built a principal component model of soundscape perception. Later, researchers expanded the dimensions of soundscape perception to include joviality, annoyance, racket, calmness, excitement, and tedium (Aletta et al, 2016;Jin & Hong, 2015). Differently, Miller, Hallo, Sharp, Powell, and Lanham (2014) grouped soundscape into three categories, including biophony, geophony, and anthrophony; their findings also suggest that people (birders) have different preference toward soundscape.…”

“…Otherwise, the environment will be evaluated negatively for improper soundscape, even if its landscape is scenic (Zhang, Zhang, Liu, & Kang, 2016). Congruity of soundscape and landscape requires not just a simple combination of elements but a congruence among those elements (Jin & Hong, 2015;Pheasant et al, 2010). People rate their preference for congruent soundscapes and landscapes higher than for the average soundscape or landscape alone (Carles et al, 1999).…”

“…People rate their preference for congruent soundscapes and landscapes higher than for the average soundscape or landscape alone (Carles et al, 1999). Following research by Jin and Hong (2015), this study will use "the congruence between soundscape and landscape" as one of the variables that may affect religious tourism experience. Accordingly, this study proposed the following hypotheses.…”

Identifying the Quiet Areas of a Small Urban Setting: The Case of Mytilene

“…A quiet urban area retains an anthropocentric profile, offering an acoustic "relief" to city inhabitants from environmental noise. The acoustic perception of individuals holds an important role regarding attitudes on "healthy" urban soundscapes (Jeon and Hong, 2015). The psychoacoustic terms, "liveliness", "vibrancy" "positive or negative sound" are often used in order to describe a soundscape from a human perspective.…”

La Influencia Del Paisaje Sonoro en La Calidad Del Entorno Urbano; Un Enfoque Hacia La Experiencia Sonora De La Ciudad Latinoamericana

“…En ese sentido se puntualizó lo siguiente, en primer lugar el paisaje sonoro está directamente relacionado a la percepción humana y no a los parámetros acústicos del sonido, puesto que lógicamente es el ser humano quien moldea el sonido según sus atributos psicológicos (Jeon y Hong, 2015). De esta forma la gestión del paisaje sonoro en la ciudad integra la visión general del confort urbano, la calidad del entorno acústico en sí y la evaluación eficaz del entorno acústico percibido, tanto en función de una escala de determinación espacial como de un tiempo específico para su respectivo análisis semántico (Leus y Herssens, 2015).…”
