Soundscape Perceptionof Different Water Environments in Protected Natural Area
Soundscape perception occupies a relatively important position in all perceptions,and the sound of water is of great significance in making people have pleasant perceptions.It is not clear what subjective reactions people will have when exposed to different water environmental conditions,and relevant research needs to be done for further verification.The paper takes Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve to select and analyze the soundscape index characteristics and tourist perception characteristics under the environmental conditions of waterfall,haizi and calcerous tufa shoal.The environmental measurement value of the recorded sample is extracted through the method of soundscape index,and the evaluation of tourists'perception in six dimensions is analyzed.The results show that:1)Different water environment conditions in Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve have created differences in the soundscape index.The waterfall shows differences from the other two types of water environments in terms of Hf,Ht and M indexes,and haizi is different from waterfall and calcerous tufa shoal in ACI,AEI,NDSI indexes;2)The different water environmental conditions of Jiuzhaigou have also caused differences in the perception of tourists.Haizi is obviously different from the other two water environments in terms of clarity,naturalness and richness.The calcerous tufa shoal is obviously different from the other two water environments in terms of rhythm and pleasantness;and 3)Judging from the correlation between the soundscape index and the perception of tourists,the AEI,ADI,Ht and M indexes are the main factors that cause the difference in overall satisfaction.To sum up,waterfall,haizi and calcerous tufa shoal bring in different perceptions owing to their different attributes,i.e.,richer biodiversity and soundscape can enhance tourism affinity for environment while complex sounds could interfere the recreational experience of tourists.
