Abstract

Purpose of Review

Urban green spaces provide benefits for human health and well-being, among other properties, thanks to their ability to attenuate environmental pollutants. The sound environment is not healthy in most cities, and this situation has not changed in recent decades. These green spaces are potential quiet areas with good acoustic quality if they are designed and planned properly from a multidisciplinary perspective. Although the mitigating effects of green infrastructure have been extensively studied, their application in green areas has been very limited. The objective of this study is to analyze those characteristics of green spaces that contribute to a healthy soundscape and, in turn, the benefits that this would give them to the characteristics of green areas, users, and their physical environment.

Recent Findings

Current studies show that to accurately determine the relationship between green spaces and health and well-being benefits, it is necessary to know the interaction with other environmental variables, including the soundscape. The development and application of ISO/TS 12913-2 have promoted the consideration of the soundscape and the use of appropriate procedures for its evaluation.

Summary

The inclusion of soundscape quality in epidemiological studies will improve the quantification of the effects of green spaces on the health and well-being of citizens. Only the consideration of global indicators, such as Lden (dB), show the importance of the sound environment in the interaction with other environmental variables and user activities for the determination of the effects of green spaces on health.

绿地对城市声环境的影响
审查目的由于城市绿地能够减少环境污染物,因此除其他特性外,还能为人类健康和福祉带来益处。大多数城市的声环境都不健康,这种情况近几十年来一直没有改变。如果从多学科的角度对这些绿地进行适当的设计和规划,它们就有可能成为具有良好声学质量的安静区域。虽然绿色基础设施的缓解效果已得到广泛研究,但其在绿地中的应用却非常有限。本研究的目的是分析有助于形成健康声景的绿地特征,进而分析这些特征对绿地特征、使用者及其物理环境的益处。最新研究结果目前的研究表明,要准确确定绿地与健康和幸福益处之间的关系,就必须了解绿地与包括声景在内的其他环境变量之间的相互作用。ISO/TS 12913-2 的制定和应用促进了对声景的考虑,并推动了使用适当的程序对其进行评估。摘要在流行病学研究中纳入声景质量将改善绿地对公民健康和幸福影响的量化。只有考虑整体指标,如 Lden(分贝),才能显示出声环境与其他环境变量和用户活动相互作用的重要性,从而确定绿地对健康的影响。
