EVALUATING SOUNDSCAPES AS A MEANS OF CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE

摘要

We report an empirical study into the creation of, and response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing the sense of being-there, against a more phenomenological approach. We conclude that we have been able to create a strong sense of place but uncovered a number of experimental/procedural issues.
