Abstract

It is now about 15 years that Soundscape came into the field of community noise and sound quality. The Soundscape approach has provided essential knowledge for the demanding tasks which are required for the design and planning of sustainable environments to support to wellbeing, health, and quality of life, respectively. The multidimensional Soundscape approach puts emphasis on the way the acoustic environment is perceived, experienced and understood by the individual and by society (ISO/TC 43/SC 1/WG 54). Moreover, it accounts for people's concerns and integrates the exposed people as experts. The process of tuning of noise pollution or sound design with respect to the expertise of people's mind is related to the strategy of triangulation of interdisciplinary data. Moreover, the Soundscape approach provides the frame work to integrate contextual and subjective variables to improve the respective Soundscape with regard to people's expertise. This paper will highlight the process of Soundscape and its application with respect to ISO/TC43/SC 1/WG 54 and the COST network TD0804 on Soundscape and Landscape with regard to its implementation and dissemination in the diverse fields of acoustic environments and its definitive meaning concerning quality of life.
