Research on Soundscape Quality Optimization of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt Based on Soundscape Preference:A Case Study of Li Canal Cultural Corridor
Soundscape plays an important role in heritage sites,ecological environments,and public recreational spaces.As the Grand Canal Cultural Belt(GCCB)is a multi-complex space involving cultural heritage,ecological protection,and recreational utilization,it is necessary to conduct studies on its soundscape.This study selects Li Canal Cultural Corridor and conducts a questionnaire survey to explore the pattern of people's preferences for the soundscape of GCCB and proposes suggestions for improving the soundscape quality based on the P-F model analysis.The analysis results of 225 valid samples indicate that people's preference for canal soundscape presents a special pattern:The unique canal sound is most preferred,followed by the sound of hustle and bustle,while the most negative sound is the disturbing noises.The preference for sounds unique to the canal culture and local features of specific canal sections is greater than that for mundane sounds,and the preference for sounds that arouse historical nostalgia is greater than that for sounds reflecting the mundane life.The qualitative analysis results indicate that the formation of this model stems from people's need for emotional satisfaction and the construction of their canal memory.Additionally,age,local or non-local resident status,and frequency of visit all exert significant effects of varying degrees on the preference for the canal soundscape.According to the results of the canal soundscape preference model and P-F analysis,managers are recommended to further explore and reproduce the unique sounds of the canal,improve the sound of canal life,and design specific sound elements both forwardly and inversely.
