Universidade de LisboaWe are living in a highly visual world - that is also fortified by the constant rise of social media. For that reason, it is easy to forget that sound is one of the essential ways for us to perceive and communicate with the world. Acoustic research in the context of planning of open spaces and urban design have long been concentrated rather on problematic issues, such as traffic noise, vibrations, etc, and how to decrease the unwanted noise. There are not so many studies about how to create or maintain a pleasant acoustic environment in public spaces. Also, the possibilities of using soundscapes as a tool for ecological restoration have been starting to be researched only recently. Whereas current Landscape Architecture (LA) or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies mainly consider the impact of noise, the study of natural sounds that are positively perceived by people, as an essential motivation to visit natural areas, are not included in current assessment approaches. Universities teaching the degrees of Landscape Architecture are also lacking courses about sound in the context of landscape design and management. Thus, LA schools are overlooking the opportunity to strengthen the arguments for protecting valuable ecosystems and landscapes, and they are also neglecting a quality of the natural environment that may importantly contribute to human nature-based healthy and pleasant experiences. This thesis draws attention to the aspect of sound in landscapes. It presents the methods that have been tried out in recent years in the field of soundscape analysis in the context of landscape architecture, landscape planning, landscape restoration and landscape management. The main research questions are: 1) How can soundscape analysis provide relevant contributions to studies in landscape planning, design, restoration and management? 2) How do humans perceive soundscapes around them? 3) Which are the methods that let us analyse the soundscapes around us? 4) Which are the soundscapes that people like to be in? 5) How could the soundscapes that people like be achieved with the help of landscape architecture, landscape planning and landscape management?Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de LisboaArsénio, Pedro Miguel RamosRepositório da Universidade de LisboaMasso, Kaisa2025-02-05T17:01:37Z2024-02-092024-02-09T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/98135TID:203804759engMasso, K.
