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. 517 $aPromoting Healthy and Supportive Acoustic Environments 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aSocial interaction$2bicssc 610 $agreen space 610 $agreenness 610 $anoise exposure 610 $anoise perception 610 $asoundscape 610 $aenvironmental sounds 610 $aquietness 610 $avibrancy 610 $aacoustic environments 610 $aurban sound planning 610 $aenvironmental noise 610 $apublic health 610 $awell-being 610 $aquality of life 610 $arestoration 610 $aquiet areas 610 $anoise abatement 610 $asoundscape design 610 $alandscape planning 610 $aurban planning 610 $ageneral plan 610 $asustainability 610 $aacoustic comfort 610 $ainner yard acoustics 610 $asoundscape pleasantness 610 $asound perception 610 $avirtual room acoustics 610 $avirtual audio 610 $aquality of experience 610 $airrelevant speech noise 610 $anoise annoyance 610 $aproductivity 610 $amental health 610 $across-sectional survey 610 $aopen-plan offices 610 $ashared offices 610 $aoccupants' behavior 610 $arestorative effect 610 $achildren's cognitive performance 610 $aclassroom soundscape 610 $asustained attention 610 $ashort-term memory 610 $aurban environments 610 $asemiosis model 610 $asquare dancing 610 $apublic spaces 610 $aacoustic territory 610 $aenjoyment 610 $aappropriateness 610 $apsychological restoration 610 $aemotions 610 $aacoustic environment 610 $aurban open public spaces 610 $aurban design 610 $astress 610 $aexperiment 610 $avirtual reality 610 $abird song 610 $anoise 610 $aperceived restoration 610 $aquiet area 610 $aurban park 610 $aurban square 610 $aaudio-visual interaction 610 $aaudio-visual walk 610 $ayoung people's psychological response 610 $aorthogonal analysis 610 $aurban parks 610 $aMusikiosk 610 $asoundscape intervention 610 $ademocratic soundscape installation 610 $aquality of the urban public experience 610 $amixed methods study 610 $apocket park 610 $aphysiology 610 $aperceptual attributes 610 $aauditory 610 $asonic experience 610 $atranquillity 610 $agarden therapy 610 $alandscape architecture 610 $aJapanese gardens 610 $aautoethnography 610 $asoundscape actions 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aSocial interaction 700 $aAletta$b Francesco$4edt$01287635 702 $aKang$b Jian$4edt 702 $aAletta$b Francesco$4oth 702 $aKang$b Jian$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557760503321 996 $aPromoting Healthy and Supportive Acoustic Environments: Going beyond the Quietness$93036315 997 $aUNINA
