Abstract

Purpose of Review

The article reviews the literature on soundscape studies to analyse (i) which of the methods included in the Technical Specification (TS) 12913-2:2018 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for collecting soundscape data from individuals are predominantly used in scientific research and (ii) what is the level of compliance with ISO recommendations of the methods employed in scientific research.

Recent Findings

The ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 provide three possible protocols for individuals’ soundscape data collection (Methods A, B, and C). Despite standardization efforts, a reference method has yet to be identified to improve comparability amongst studies and the formation of scientific evidence.

Summary

The analysis of 50 peer-reviewed papers published from 2018 (year of release of ISO/TS 12913-2) showed that Method A is the prevalent one, adopted by 94.4% of the identified studies. Full compliance with ISO technical specification recommendations is in any case quite limited, and almost no study is strictly adhering to them. Attributes are not always suitable to cover all the acoustic contexts (e.g. indoor environments). This is an indicator that the field is still developing, but it also signals that technical specification recommendations leave room for ambiguity or are not always implementable. This study is ultimately intended to offer recommendations on future development of the protocols in the standardization process.

在声景研究中采用 ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 个人数据收集规程：文献综述

综述目的文章回顾了有关声景研究的文献，分析了(i)国际标准化组织（ISO）的技术规范（TS）12913-2:2018中包含的哪些用于收集个人声景数据的方法主要用于科学研究，以及(ii)科学研究中采用的方法在多大程度上符合ISO的建议.最新发现ISO/TS 12913-2:2018为个人声景数据收集提供了三种可能的协议（方法A、B和C）。尽管在标准化方面做出了努力，但仍有待确定一种参考方法，以提高研究之间的可比性和科学证据的形成。摘要对 2018 年（ISO/TS 12913-2 发布之年）发表的 50 篇同行评审论文进行的分析表明，方法 A 是最普遍的方法，被 94.4% 的已确定研究采用。无论如何，完全符合 ISO 技术规范建议的研究相当有限，几乎没有研究严格遵守这些建议。属性并不总是适用于所有声学环境（如室内环境）。这表明该领域仍在不断发展，但同时也表明技术规范建议存在模糊空间，或者并不总是可以实施。本研究的最终目的是在标准化过程中为协议的未来发展提供建议。
