Using soundwalks to promote salutogenetic urban environments
- Urban soundscapes influence citizens’ health and wellbeing. Thus, promoting healthy acoustic environments has become an important public health concern in cities. Soundwalks are a participatory method to explore the subjective perception of soundscapes and its effects on individuals. This article describes the conduction of soundwalks in three green spaces within the Bavarian capital of Munich. The soundwalks were part of a feasibility study within the interdisciplinary CitySoundscapes project.
