The research focus over the years has been gradually shifting from treating sound simply as "noise" and something that cities should get rid of to a potential "resource" to promote and support community life in public spaces. Three main topics or "needs" to be addressed by researchers and practitioners emerged from this Special Issue: (1) the need to re-think "quietness" in cities as something that goes beyond the mere "pursuit of silence", (2) the need to integrate additional contextual factors in the characterization and management of urban acoustic environments for public health, and (3) the need to consider the acoustic quality of indoor spaces as opposed to an outdoor-only perspective. The contributions collected in this book will hopefully trigger new questions and inform the agenda of future researchers and practitioners in the environmental acoustics domain.Promoting Healthy and Supportive Acoustic EnvironmentsHumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscacoustic comfortacoustic environmentacoustic environmentsacoustic territoryappropriatenessaudio-visual interactionaudio-visual walkauditoryautoethnographybird songchildren's cognitive performanceclassroom soundscapecross-sectional surveydemocratic soundscape installationemotionsenjoymentenvironmental noiseenvironmental soundsexperimentgarden therapygeneral plangreen spacegreennessinner yard acousticsirrelevant speech noiseJapanese gardenslandscape architecturelandscape planningmental healthmixed methods studyMusikioskn/anoisenoise abatementnoise annoyancenoise exposurenoise perceptionoccupants' behavioropen-plan officesorthogonal analysisperceived restorationperceptual attributesphysiologypocket parkproductivitypsychological restorationpublic healthpublic spacesquality of experiencequality of lifequality of the urban public experiencequiet areaquiet areasquietnessrestorationrestorative effectsemiosis modelshared officesshort-term memorysonic experiencesound perceptionsoundscapesoundscape actionssoundscape designsoundscape interventionsoundscape pleasantnesssquare dancingstresssustainabilitysustained attentiontranquillityurban designurban environmentsurban open public spacesurban parkurban parksurban planningurban sound planningurban squarevibrancyvirtual audiovirtual realityvirtual room acousticswell-beingyoung people's psychological responseHumanitiesSocial interactionAletta Francescoedt1287635Kang JianedtAletta FrancescoothKang JianothBOOK9910557760503321Promoting Healthy and Supportive Acoustic Environments: Going beyond the Quietness3036315UNINA
