A scoping-review-based experimental framework for assessing human responses to UAV noise
Noise from UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) is increasingly relevant to UAV delivery and urban air mobility, yet perception evidence is often hard to interpret because experiments operationalise exposure as generic level changes rather than UAV-specific acoustic signatures. This review asks: (i) what acoustic signatures define UAV noise, how they differ from conventional environmental sounds, and how UAV and operational characteristics shape the e…
Co-designing urban soundscapes with citizens and experts
The growing role of expert input in participatory environmental planning and design has raised concerns about citizen voice. However, there remains limited causal evidence on how expert input, combined with public involvement, influences deliberation and trust. We address this democratic tension through a citizen–driven soundscape co-design experiment embedded in a soundscape investigation in central London. In this work, participants were presen…

Natural soundscapes as a disciplinary bridge in pursuit of sustainability
Natural soundscapes, a blend of natural and human-made sounds, enhance human health by reducing stress, improving cognitive function, and increasing happiness. They foster a connection to nature and raise awareness of biodiversity loss. Soundscapes also bridge science and art; scientists study them to understand ecological dynamics, while artists use them for creative expression. The ‘Ecotones: Soundscapes of Trees’ research network explored the …
Effect of human sound component on the sociability of urban public spaces—a case study in Sheffield, UK
Soundscape quality is important for fostering social interactions in urban public spaces. This study focuses on how and to what extent the compositions of the soundscape affect the sociability of urban public spaces where human sound is focused. Four 360° experimental soundscape samples were designed as foreground/background/no human sound type and signal sound type, based on the raw data collected in Peace Gardens, Sheffield, United Kingdom. Fol…
Daily rhythm of urban space usage
As urban density increases, it becomes increasingly common for multiple functions to coexist within the same space, intensifying the complexity of human activity dynamics. However, traditional urban zoning, which relies on the spatial distribution of urban functions and human activities, focuses on the spatial heterogeneity of urban space and fails to capture the temporal dynamics of urban space usage. This paper aims to investigate the daily rhy…
Effects of planning variables on urban traffic noise at different scales
Natural sounds can encourage social interactions in urban parks
Urban parks play an essential role in hosting social activities and providing spaces for social interactions. Previous studies have examined the effects of the sound environment on individuals, particularly in terms of perception and behavior; however, few studies have investigated the impact of the sound environment on social interactions in urban parks. In this study, an experiment was conducted involving sound interventions and covert behavior…
The multisensory environmental evaluations of sound and odour in urban public open spaces
Few studies have focused on the multisensory perception of audio–olfactory interaction with the purpose of improving the use of urban spaces. This study conducted multisensory environmental evaluations in three urban open spaces in China with the aim of verifying the existence of audio–olfactory interaction in the urban environments and providing different perspectives for the improvement of urban environmental quality. A sensewalk approach was a…
A Perceptual Structure of Soundscapes in Urban Public Spaces Using Semantic Coding Based on the Grounded Theory
The definition of ‘soundscape’ emphasises the perceptual construct of sounds; thus, the mechanism of sound perceptions becomes vital for soundscape evaluations. Using a qualitative approach, this study explored the aspects and processes of sound perceptions and built a perceptual soundscape structure from the insight of sociology. The interview was conducted between January and March 2018, in four urban public spaces. Data reached saturation afte…
What do we visually focus on in a World Heritage Site? A case study in the Historic Centre of Prague
Since socio-economic development is associated with artificial construction, heritage environments must be protected and renewed while adapting to such development. Many World Heritage Sites’ visual integrity is endangered by new construction. The paper aims to explore people’s visual focus patterns concerning the integrity of heritage to ensure that traditional culture is not endangered by the construction and development of modern life, and to …
On the definition of noise
Urbanization has exposed people to extreme sound levels. Although researchers have investigated the ability of people to listen, analyze, and distinguish sound, the concept of noise has not been clearly articulated from a human perspective. The lack of knowledge on how people perceive noise limits our capacity to control it in a targeted manner. This study aimed to interpret the definition of noise from the public perspective based on a grounded …
Indoor Environmental Quality of Residential Elderly Care Facilities in Northeast China
The indoor environmental quality is based on the indoor environmental performance of buildings, such as air temperature, lighting, and acoustics. These parameters have a specific impact on users' health and experience. This study explores the relationship between the indoor environment of residential elderly care facilities in cold regions and the sensitivity of the elderly to these facilities with the aim of improving the elderly care environmen…

Soundscape Evaluation Outside a Taoist Temple
The unique architectural form and religious background of Taoist buildings can lead to a special acoustic environment, but there is a lack of research on the soundscape evaluation of Taoist buildings. Laojundong Taoist Temple was selected as the research site. The psychological and physiological responses of Taoist priests and ordinary people, and strategies for soundscape renovation were investigated by conducting field measurements, interviews,…
Effects of Soundscape Complexity on Urban Noise Annoyance Ratings
Noise annoyance has been often reported as one of the main adverse effects of noise exposure on human health, and there is consensus that it relates to several factors going beyond the mere energy content of the signal. Research has historically focused on a limited set of sound sources (e.g., transport and industrial noise); only more recently is attention being given to more holistic aspects of urban acoustic environments and the role they play…

Valuation of Green Walls and Green Roofs as Soundscape Measures
Economic unit values of soundscape/acoustic effects have been based on changes in the number of annoyed persons or on decibel changes. The normal procedure has been the application of these unit values to noise-attenuation measures affecting the noisier façade of a dwelling. Novel modular vegetation-based soundscape measures, so-called green walls, might be relevant for both noisy and quieter areas. Moreover, their benefits will comprise noise at…
A Puzzling 14 C Result Obtained for a Carbonized Wood Sample Embedded in Volcanic Lava
It has been reported that the characteristics of a very old wood charcoal sample are different from those of modern wood charcoal according to its state of preservation (Cohen-Ofri et al. 2006; Rebollo et al. 2008). It can be assumed that these differences may lead to some difficulties when radiocarbon dating very old wood charcoal samples. To investigate this problem, we studied a carbonized trunk of Prunus pendula for. acendens tree buried in l…

To improve the acoustic environment of residential blocks, noise mapping is employed in this study to analyze traffic noise distribution and the influence factors of four types of residential blocks in China. The study shows that high-rise small blocks have the highest average noise level ( L avg ) for ground and building facades, followed by small low-rise blocks while modern residential blocks yield the lowest value. An analysis of the standard…
Radiocarbon Data from the Vicinity of Four South Korean Nuclear Power Plants in 2013–2014
Radiocarbon ( 14 C) is a radionuclide generated mainly through neutron-induced reactions in all types of nuclear reactors. Since most of the 14 C released into the environment is in the form of gaseous emissions (CO 2 and hydrocarbons), terrestrial plants are the primary indicators of increased 14 C levels near nuclear power plants (NPPs). In 2013–2014, we collected samples of silver grasses (including common reed) and pine needles within 3 km of…
Towards an Urban Vibrancy Model
Soundscape research needs to develop predictive tools for environmental design. A number of descriptor-indicator(s) models have been proposed so far, particularly for the "tranquility" dimension to manage "quiet areas" in urban contexts. However, there is a current lack of models addressing environments offering actively engaging soundscapes, i.e., the "vibrancy" dimension. The main aim of this study was to establish a predictive model for a vibr…
