All rights reserved.Aural experience of a space, or soundscape, is one of the factors that influence visitor’s comfort in a park. An ideal park should able to provide a tranquil environment and noiseless condition, dominated by the presence of natural sounds. The acoustical condition of the park’s environment is therefore an indicator of a good park. This study aims to evaluate the acoustical condition of an urban campus park in Yogyakarta using soundscape method. This park located aside to the campus main road and residential areas, creating a lot of noise exposure to the park that reduces the expected soundscape quality. Soundscape analysis is based on the environmental acoustic parameters of LAeq, L10, L50, L90, and soundscape ecology indices of NDSI, AEI, and H. These parameters were processed to characterize the sound objects within the park. An on-site subjective measurement was conducted to evaluate visitor preferences of the acoustic environment using questionnaires. The results indicate that the value of certain parameters in the park varies depend on the zone and time measurement. The environment sound level is quite high, which is above the permitted SPL of 50 dBA. In addition to that, the sound compositions inside the park consist of natural and artificial sound sources, which are common entity found in urban parks. However, the designed zoning of the landscape in this area did not create any unique soundmark for each zone. Meanwhile, utilizing the principal component analysis (PCA) of the subjective measurement results, shows that major dimension with the most significant effect on respondents’ perceptions is calmness. In overall, even with the high sound level inside the park, the acoustical condition is still perceived positively by the visitors.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5095345[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
