Abstract

Compared to sensory studies such as soundscape, thermal, and lighting comfort, smellscape is relatively less explored. Reviewing existing studies of smells and smellscapes can help researchers to better understand the field and bring insight for further research. This chapter starts explaining the smellscape concept consisted of four elements: smells and sources, human perceptions, physical environment, and context of places. It then reviews current approaches to investigate smellscapes and derives an integrated smellscape research framework from existing literature. Limitations and debates around designing smells are also addressed in this chapter. Based on the review, this chapter also outlines future research directions of smellscapes.
