It argues that music and street performances are conceived and therefore utilised as sonic acts of political struggle in urban realm. Starting with a general understanding of hearing mechanisms, the study elucidates the relationships among territoriality of soundscape, identity construction, social segregation and polarisation, and finally, power struggle. Within the framework of the intersection area of these concepts, the paper discusses the processes of politisation of soundscape through music as a form of protest event that is performed in public realm. Throughout the paper, it is focused on the significant cases of public protests as well as political events that occured in public space. The main emphasis is on the use of sound technologies to impose power on masses of people. The paper tackles the question of how the salient characteristics of soundscape are sonically adopted as means for counter-political acts in public realm.展开更多

Based on the CNKI database, a contact graph of authors in the field of soundscape is drawn using Cite Space software, and the number of core authors in the field of soundscape is determined to be 30. Based on the number of papers and the evolution of keywords over the years, the development of soundscape research is divided into three stages: exploration stage(1995-2006), pre development stage(2007-2015), and post development stage(2016-present). The research direction is divided into three categories: soundscape perception, soundscape evaluation, and soundscape design. According to various graph analysis, with the continuous development of science and technology, soundscape research fields and methods are gradually diversified, and fields such as soundscape evaluation, soundscape, landscape architecture, soundscape perception and sound stroll have gradually become hot spots in soundscape research.展开更多

The traditional aesthetic value assessment of forest landscape mainly focuses on the visual perception, but the auditory perception is usually ignored. In fact, the esthetics artistic conception is not complete without each sense. With a case study on the National Forestry Park of Mount Sanzhualun in Jiangxi Province, the investigation and analysis of the soundscape resources are made in this research. The forest soundscape resources are classified into six types, mainly including water soundscape, rain soundscape, birds' soundscape, leaf soundscape, insects' soundscape and wind soundscape. Furthermore, the concept, content and rule of forest soundscape resources are defined so as to provide significant references for the more advantageous development, utilization and management of the forest landscape resources.展开更多

Taking China Dinosaur Land in Changzhou City for example, visitors' perception about soundscape comfort in theme parks was studied. The researches found that acoustic comfort was infl uenced by objective parameters of sound and subjective perception of visitors, and when the soundscape volume stayed at a certain threshold value, visitors would gain the most satisfi ed acoustic comfort experience, and they were most sensitive to sound elements that able to convey cultural connotations of the theme park. On this basis, this paper adopted positive design, negative design, and zero design, and proposed the concepts of optimizing theme park soundscapes.展开更多

Soundscape ecology considers the effects of sound on fauna, and this research focuses on anuran breeding lek soundscapes. The sensitivity of anuran breeding leks to acoustic disturbances makes breeding leks an important venue for a comparative soundscape study. We made long-term（〉 24 h） sound recordings in three representative wetlands and short-term（〈 30 min） recordings in ten sites in the Pannonian Biogeographical Region of Hungary and around the Hungary and Slovakia border. Long-term soundscapes of the floodplain stretch, where there is relatively minor anthrophonical disturbance, showed an obvious circadian change in sound intensities. The site with moderate sound contamination exhibited a disturbed pattern of circadian sound variation, while the site with heavy traffic noise displayed an apparently random temporal soundscape. At different amphibian breeding sites during mating season, our short-term recordings were dominated by anuran calls, bird songs and wind noises, while insect calls and rain were present to a lesser degree. Our study indicates that vehicle traffic noise is a severe imposition to the natural soundscape, and suggests that soundscape monitoring can provide a reliable and sensitive index of environmental change for both short-term and long-term periods.展开更多

Indeed, sound has long been devised as a tool so as to control people and urban realm. The paper discusses the politics, aesthetics and social character of urban soundscape by elucidating the materialized shape of sound, that is to say; the close relationship between architecture and sound, between materiality of the physical form and its audio-spatial experience to understand how soundscape is controlled by architectural means for establishing power over masses and class segregation in various contexts. Similar to the case of physical-landscape, the soundscape in various types of buildings also manifests the idealized power relationships in any society through the control of sound in architectural space. Therefore, the auditory characteristics of these spatial precedents are elucidated in this study. It is argued that sound is a very political entity and auditory mechanisms are utilized for the purposes of both surveillance and suppression of political opponents. The paper intends to demonstrate that sound has a very dark history under the disguise of grandiose aesthetics, and thus, it is very important in establishing power. Spatial typologies are classified according to their auditory functions in relation to establishing power in urban realm.展开更多
