Abstract
Urban parks are parts of every city fabric and usually well appreciated by the citizens for providing restoration and some “quiet,” at least when compared to most other city areas. Research on the soundscape of parks in cities in Portugal and in Brazil have been conducted in order to assess what makes such areas sonically interesting. Work is being directed to the differentiation of the sound components of the overall sound environment in different types of parks and on techniques for mapping the perceived sound components. The work also aims at understanding effects of climate and culture on the perception of the soundscape. Results are presented and discussed.
