Abstract

Soundscape refers to the acoustic environment perceived by humans within a given context. This chapter introduces the assessment of urban soundscapes based on recent research conducted in Seoul, South Korea. This chapter begins by describing soundscape data collection and analysis. A participatory soundwalk approach concentrating on the experiences and impressions of each participant is discussed. The conceptual models for soundscapes that are developed from social surveys are also examined. These approaches are used to collect and analyze the soundscape components of an environment. The chapter then discusses soundscape design with natural sounds under laboratory conditions. Various natural sounds such as water sounds are introduced in order to enhance soundscapes and to clarify their acoustical characteristics. This discussion is followed by an examination of the interrelationship between audio-visual components, specifically highlighting the soundscape design of urban streets. Finally, this chapter considers soundscape maps as well as the spatial relationship among soundscape variables.
