| Résumé |
Noise in urban context is one of the main concern in terms of societal impact. In fact, sound environment is adressing issues at various levels: transmission of information, social relations, perception of comfort, and in the worst cases, health effects on city-dwellers. The paper will present the first steps of an academic research concerning measurement and perception of noise in urban context – otherwise integrated into the broader framework of a Chair of Research dealing with relationships between mobility and quality of life in urban environments, in terms of air/sound pollution and healthcare. The following content will be developed : i/ elements of a state-of-the-art in the joined fields of measurement/simulation and perceptual evaluation of urban soundscapes; ii/ first planned axes of research focusing on interactions between elementary sources mainly coming from urban mobility – assuming that transportation is one of the main source of noise in the city – with their context either in physical and perceptual points of view; iii/ according to the work progress, first results concerning preliminary experiments conducted on dedicated urban environments. |
