The capacity of natural settings to promote psychological restoration has attracted increasing research attention, especially with regards the visual dimension. However, there is a need extend these studies urban settings, such as squares, parks or gardens, due global trend towards urbanisation, and integrate dimension sound into landscape. Such was main aim this study, in which 53 participants assessed four public spaces Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) part CITI-SENSE Project (137 observations were...
Abstract The purpose of this research was to design and deploy tools that apply the concept citizen observatories empowering citizens in assessment acoustic comfort public places. applies an iterative cycle article presents results a demonstrative experiment carried out situ using first products developed. This work undertaken as part CITI-SENSE project. A viable technical procedural solution designed tested field demonstration, where 53 people were engaged provide 137 observations city...
The need to improve acoustic environments in our cities has led increased interest correcting or minimising noise pollution urban environments, something that been associated with the resurgence of soundscape approach. This line research highlights importance context perception environments. Despite this, few studies consider together a wide number variables relating context, and analyse relative each. purpose this paper is therefore identify non-acoustic characteristics place (context)...
Abstract The overall aim of this research was to find a group easy-to-access variables, that are measurable or assessable, and which help predict acoustic comfort in urban places, order make further progress developing soundscape indicator based on indices readily available environments. Our main conceptual framework has been the Environmental Experience Model ISO Soundscape, together with most up-to-date information technology, where parameters influence public places have identified. This...
Abstract Concerning quiet areas, the definition provided by Environmental Noise Directive (END) is intended to preserve acoustic environment in those areas where it considered good, according general indicators and limits. However, END not clear enough allow appropriate assessment management urban environments. The aim of QUADMAP project was deliver a method guidelines for identification, delineation, characterization, improvement Quiet Urban Areas (QUAs) as defined END. Project also wanted...
<ns7:p>Climate change is a major global threat to our society’s urban areas, with the majority of Europe's population living in cities and their cultural heritage. Historic districts significant value communities connected these places have an important role play fostering location-based identity economy, social cohesion, innovation, regeneration, climate adaptation. Thus, it make historic resilient, by jointly considering adaptation, disaster risk management, heritage sustainable...
Urban areas are currently experiencing a number of adverse effects associated with both climate induced change and the nature development processes. This has led to, not only reduction in provision performance environmental attributes but also generated threats to well-being urban inhabitants. In response, concept Nature- based Solutions (NBS) emerged as means reconfiguring spatial interactions maximize adaptation resilience. Despite this however, process transition for NBS frequently...

A conceptual model about environmental experience is presented to guide soundscape studies. This proposal combines the state of art and Tecnalia regarding psychosocial studies which focuses on relationship between environment people. The has been structured around five main elements: person (community), place, activity, previous interaction experience. understood as a holistic not only within that but also linked other perceptions, such landscape, odour, etc. relevant factors variables each...
Configuration of noisy environment in towns mostly depends upon the characterization traffic noise urban routes. Frequently there is a lack information when it question having data from whole area. To solve this above-mentioned guide (WG-AEN 002.2006) proposes some suppositions for which can turn out to be very general practical applications. Through presentation these criteria applied case seen tools necessary adjust real elaboration maps and definition an Action Plan. The analyzed...
The unplanned and non-environmentally integrated growth of cities in the last decades implies problems challenges related to environmental impacts, life quality, social cohesion economic capacities competences.Considering this situation, an management regarding aforesaid aspects is demanded urban areas.This requirement has already arisen from European Commission within Thematic Strategy on Urban Environment.Furthermore, May 2007, Member States stated so Leipzig Charta.INCYDA EMAU a project...
