A listener-centred approach to soundscape evaluation [PDF]

, 2012
I am conducting a Grounded Theory approach to measuring opinions of urban soundscapes. This approach makes it possible to focus on the soundscapes experienced by an individual in their daily life, instead of focussing on the soundscape of a specific location.

TABMON: Design and deployment of a transnational passive acoustic monitoring network for European birds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has promised to deliver automated biodiversity monitoring, but networks are rarely deployed on scales that can offer truly novel

The effect of traffic flows on urban soundscape dynamics and how to analyze it [PDF]

, 2004
Subjective evaluation of soundscapes considers without a doubt the change in amplitude and frequency of the acoustic signal over time. The urban environment can make these soundscape dynamics become rather complex and interesting.

Spatial audio in small display screen devices [PDF]

, 2000
Our work addresses the problem of (visual) clutter in mobile device interfaces. The solution we propose involves the translation of technique-from the graphical to the audio domain-for expliting space in information representation.

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

Creating Home Territories During Housing Relocation: Affects and Activity Rhythms

Area, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper expands understandings of home by developing the concept of home territory to comprehend the experiences of older adults who experienced housing relocation and how they reconstituted a sense of home. The study draws on the experiences of 41 older adults who underwent the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) in Singapore ...
