Elaboration of a methodological guide of sound ambiences to evaluate urban soundscapes : the ASTUCE research Project

Abstract

International audienceThe goal of the project is to develop a global approach that helps local authorities, decisions makers, urban planners and town designers in the decision making process. By collecting information about the urban sound environment, identifying those that satisfy the city dwellers’ expectations and those that have to disappear or be modified, short- and long-term strategies will then be validated in complement of the noise action plans in line with the European Environmental Noise Directive
