Relating Individual Soundscape Attributes with Isovist Space Syntax Indices

Convention of the European Acoustics Association Forum Acusticum, pp. 717–721

Abstract

Within the research project "Person-focused Analysis of Architectural Design", it is a goal to correlate the individual soundscape attributes with objective urban space indicators.This contribution will present, in particular, a comparative analysis with the established Space Syntax indices, and more specifically, with isovists.These indices were developed during the last decades to characterize urban morphology and predict human perception in spatial contexts.However, not a big amount of research provides conclusions on urban perception situations where sound matters.By correlating individual vocabulary profiles and isovists definitions, we aim to quantify the prediction accuracy of such indicators.
