“…Generally, natural sounds have not been found to be effective at noise masking [49,60]. Certain natural sounds can provide a type of masking effect in relation to attention-grabbing sounds that divert people's attention away from other more negative sounds, in what is termed "informational masking" [49], and have been found to improve the potential for mental restoration [21,49,65].…”

An Evidence Review has been conducted to collate recent research on the acoustic benefits of Green Infrastructure in urban environments. It has been undertaken by the consortium of Anderson Acoustics, Tranquil City, Acoustic Sensor Networks and Maploom, under the Research Development & Evidence Framework Agreement (reference 30210) for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).The Review provides an evidence base that demonstrates how Green Infrastructure can support the mitigation of unwanted sound in urban environments and the promotion of more positive soundscapes, as well as improved health, wellbeing, sustainable development and biodiversity outcomes.The aim of the Review, therefore, is to provide Defra with a review of the evidence to inform policy decisions. Additionally, it may be useful to other policy makers and local authorities, as well as developers and project teams, so that these professionals can better plan Green Infrastructure that realises potential acoustic benefits.This paper provides a short summary of the approach, key findings, potential policy implications and recommendations for the urban planning industry to optimise the acoustic performance of Green Infrastructure solutions. The report should be consulted for full technical detail and recommendations.

“…Currently, scholars no longer equate the good acoustic environment with simply reducing noise levels [14,15], but rather emphasize the importance of people's subjective perception of the acoustic environment following the soundscape concept of ISO 12913-1 [16]. Against this backdrop, more and more studies have explored and focused on the human perceived acoustic environment [17,18]. However, exploring soundscapes needs a multifaceted perspective because soundscape perception is associated with not only acoustic components but also non-acoustic factors [19].…”

“…Sound sources are the most basic and important acoustic components in creating soundscapes in urban areas [20], because the sound dominance in a soundscape is able to affect the spatiotemporal dynamics and the outcome of people's perception of the soundscape [21,22]. Regarding non-acoustic factors, landscape compositions account for a high proportion of the influence on soundscape perception, with can be summarized as subjective and objective aspects [18]. The former is mainly due to people's perception varied from landscape elements, such as naturalness [23], visual quality [24], urban contexts [25], features of landscape and architecture [17], audiovisual coherence [26], and infrastructure services [27].…”

Kulangsu is a famous scenic area in China and a World Heritage Site. It is important to obtain knowledge with regard to the status of soundscape and landscape resources and their interrelationships in Kulangsu before it became a World Heritage. The objective of this study was to explore the spatial dependency of the soundscapes in Kulangsu, based on the spatiotemporal dynamics of soundscape and landscape perceptions, including perceived sound sources, soundscape quality, and landscape satisfaction degree, and the spatial landscape characteristics, including the distance to green spaces, normalized difference vegetation index, and landscape spatial patterns. The results showed that perception of soundscape and landscape were observed in significant spatiotemporal dynamics, and the dominance of biological sounds in all sampling periods and human sounds in the evening indicated that Kulangsu scenic area had a good natural environment and a developed night-time economy, respectively. The green spaces and commercial lands may contribute to both the soundscape pleasantness and eventfulness. Moreover, the soundscape quality was dependent on the sound dominant degree and landscape satisfaction degree but not on the landscape characteristics. The GWR model had better goodness of fit than the OLS model, and possible non-linear relationships were found between the soundscape pleasantness and the variables of perceived sound sources and landscape satisfaction degree. The GWR models with spatial stationarity were found to be more effective in understanding the spatial dependence of soundscapes. In particular, the data applied should ideally include a complete temporal dimension to obtain a relatively high fitting accuracy of the model. These findings can provide useful data support and references for future planning and design practices, and management strategies for the soundscape resources in scenic areas and World Heritage Sites.

Landscape design under the influence of digitalization is studied in the paper. The ultimate purpose of environmental design is to apply social, economic, artistic, technological, political and other comprehensive means to meet the needs of people's existence and development in the urban environment. The artistic image generation of forest landscape is in its various constituent elements and space with its own laws of formal beauty. The interplay of different elements as the interweaving and fusion of different elements constitute the garden environment, form and other different artistic The artistic image of the garden landscape space is more harmonious and unified, and in the human aesthetic interest in the world of human emotions. This paper gives the novel ideas for the digital analysis and provide the novel suggestions.
