Thus, sounds coming from commercial activities are becoming much more multifarious, at the same time, more annoying. This is because of Taiwan’s special residence custom. In Taiwan, most people live in the residence commercial complex zoning, which means residents expose to the commercial activities noise in daily lives. In order to investigate residence commercial complex zoning sound environment from user’s point of view, there were 800 questionnaires handed round, and 273 questionnaires were replied. There are six evaluation factors in influencing molding commercial space sound environment. According to the users’ observation and experience, three factors play important roles in influencing users’ evaluation regarding sound environment design, including amenity(pleasant, comfortable or unpleasant, uncomfortable), vitality(active or inactive) , and atmosphere of warmth (warm or cold). In the regression analysis, amenity and volume(Leq) have a negative relationship(r=-0.558), which means volume is an important factor in commercial space sound environment molding. In the past, high volume amplifier system was applied extensively in commercial district to attract more crowds. However, amenity is declined under such noisy environment. It is a very important issue to study the trade off relationship between these two situations and improve noise problem in residence-commercial complex zoning.展开更多
