All rights reserved.In Indonesia, the hospital ward is classified according to the number of beds inside the ward. Third class ward is the lowest class, which consist of six or eight beds inside the ward. In this study, the soundscape of a third-class hospital ward is analysed on different time of the day. The analysis is conducted based on noise level measurement, sound source identification, annoying sound source identification, and semantic scales. The noise level in the ward fluctuates between 51.5- 62.1 dBA with the highest noise level measured during the afternoon. The dominant sound sources in the third-class ward, which are similar in the morning and the afternoon, are the sound of fan and visitor of the patients. The three most annoying sound sources in the morning are the sound of patients, visitors, and doors. This result is slightly different from the afternoon survey, which shows that the three most annoying sound sources are the sound of the door, food cart, and visitors. The semantic scales show different score in the morning and the afternoon. This study shows that the soundscape in the third-class ward is changing from time to time, and the soundscape intervention must consider the difference.[/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]Perception,Soundscape,Third-class hospital ward[/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/10.18154/RWTH-CONV-239072[/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]
