Conference_programme: 20.4 - Soundscape in Standarization
Lecture: Soundscape, Standardization, and Application
Author(s): Schulte-Fortkamp Brigitte
Summary:
The Soundscape concept was introduced as a scope to rethink the evaluation of “noise” and its effects. Since Soundscape suggests exploring noise in its complexity and its ambivalence and its approach towards sound, Soundscape does understand evaluation of noise/ sound from perception to physics. Therefore, Soundscape means to focus on the meaning of sounds and its implicit assessments to contribute to the understanding that the evaluation through perceptual effects is a key issue. The definition and as well the use of a variety of data collection methods related to human perception, acoustic environment and context will here be introduced according to ISO 12913. The international standard ISO 12913 gives guidance to get access to the key components in Soundscape: people, acoustic environment, and context. Soundscape as an acoustic environment as perceived and or experienced and/or understood by people, in context guarantees the involvement of different disciplines but also stakeholders as the promoters to identify the resources a platform for further development in economic and ecologic as well as in noise policy-standards concerning the enhancement of quality of life. This paper will introduce and discuss techniques of a soundscape approach and its standardization. Moreover, it will introduce the area of application of Soundscape. \n\n
