Soundscapes: Humans and Their Acoustic Environment (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research, 76) – Original PDF from Publisher

by Brigitte Schulte-Fortkamp (Editor), André Fiebig (Editor), Joseph A. Sisneros (Editor), Arthur N. Popper (Editor), Richard R. Fay (Editor)

The idea of “Soundscapes ” encompasses all noises in a person ‘s surroundings and goes beyond just the sounds per se
Rather , it centers on the interactions that exist between an individual , an activity , and a location in both space and time
Influences on the auditory environment through auditory experience , interpretation , and contextual reactions are all included in the soundscape
The International Organization for Standardization, ISO 12913-1 :2014 Acoustics Soundscape Part Definition and Conceptual Framework , ISO , Geneva , 2014 , defines the “process of perceiving or experiencing and/or understanding an acoustic environment , highlighting general concepts and their relationships : context , sound sources , acoustic environment , auditory sensation , interpretation of auditory sensation , responses, and outcomes” as part of the Soundscape conceptual framework.

A greater comprehension of the auditory environment and its impact on individuals may be attained via the use of soundscape
The usage of “Soundscape ” is distinguished in a significant and rigorous way by the ISO standard 12931-1
However , it is acknowledged that some people will find it convenient to refer to the physical acoustic environment as “Soundscape ” rather than the actual acoustic environment
These people include planners, designers , laypeople, and even those who are primarily interested in managing the acoustic environment through environmental noise control

Soundscape research may help create healthy urban settings by sharing and using the substantial expertise of all parties involved in noise management and urban planning
This , understandably , demonstrates the need for compelled communication in noise control to ensure that the details of Soundscapes—that is , the significance of perception—are taken into consideration alongside the whole.

This book will close the gap between soundscape theory and practice, so it will differ from our previous publications , such as “Soundscape and the Built Environment ” (ed
by J.Kang and B.Schulte-Fortkamp , CRC Press , Taylor and Francis Group , Boca Raton, Fl . 2016 ) , as well as from the corresponding Special Issues on Soundscapes in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (ed . by B .Schulte-Fortkamp and J.Kang ) , the Special Issue in Acta Acustica 2006 * (ed . by B . Schulte-Fortkamp and D.Dubois ) , and the E-book on soundscape.

The challenging task of standardizing Soundscape and its assessment processes will be the driving force behind this book
Presenting and reviewing Soundscape ‘s developments—which take into account a variety of inputs and the standardization process—is the primary objective of the proposed book
the requirements for planning and management in urban acoustic settings , the book will also highlight the challenges and answers in transdisciplinary grounded communication—that is , communication that is guided by science but also connected to application on the other side .
