쾌적한 음환경을 창조하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 음이 갖는 심리적 속성과 인지구조 를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이 연구는 여러 가지 환경음중에서 유쾌음에 대한 심리적 속성, 그리고 그 속성과 음과의 관계를 정성적으로 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 특히, 음에 대한 감정 및 정서표현에 사회문화적 차이가 있다는 점을 감안하여 한국어 표현어를 심층적으로 조사·분석하고, 36종류의 표현어와 34종류의 유쾌음에 대해서 평정척도법을 이용한 심리평 가 실험을 실시하였다. 실험의 분석결과, 유쾌음의 심리적 속성은 활동성, 안정성, 박력성의 3가지 요인이 중요한 요인으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 음과 표현어사이의 관계를 파악하기 위해 다 차원척도법을 이용한 선호도분석에 의해서 3가지 요인과 음과의 관계를 파악해 보았다. 이 결과는 유쾌음에 대한 평가시 중요한 심리적 속성으로서, 음의 물리적 평가방법 및 음환경 의 쾌적성 창조를 위한 중요한 실마리를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

The assessment of an urban site depends on the way it responds to multiple needs such as functionality, aesthetic and complex comfort of acoustic, thermal, lighting and air quality This study aims to investigate the assessment of various urban soundscapes in the sense of acoustic amenity by the questionnaires. As a result, acoustic amenity assessment was influenced by the non-acoustic factors such as environment assessment of visual, thermal, air quality etc.. And it was shown that the subjects tend to perceive the noise level less than 3$\sim$10dB L$_{Aeq}$ under the similar noise exposure level according to the urban landscapes.

For the comfortable housing life, comfortable and pleasant urban environment should be created for the people living in house and in city. There are lots of environmental conditions in city affecting house and life. Also most of all the noise pollution have been become major factor that makes people's life uncomfortable. Recently soundscape researches have been performed to create comfortable urban environment and various studies on the evaluation of urban environmental sounds are now undergoing. This study aimed to analyse the subjective characteristics through the subjective evaluation to the sounds measured with physical parameters and eventually to find out alternative evaluation method for urban environmental sounds. Adjectives applied to previous studies were used for the subjective evaluation and sound sources recorded in specific places were presented with picture at the same time. As a result, new physical parameters such as Lmax, Unbiased Annoyance, G, N and EmT have a feasibility to evaluation of urban environment sounds in terms of acoustic comfort.

The assessment of an urban site depends on the way whether it responds to multiple needs such as functionality, aesthetic and complex comfort of acoustic, thermal, lighting and air quality etc. This study aims to investigate the assessment of various urban soundscapes in the sense of acoustic amenity by the questionnaires. As a result, acoustic amenity assessment was influenced by the non-acoustic factors such as environment assessment of visual, thermal, air quality etc. In the sense of sound quality, urban environmental sound was interpreted as 3 factors of strength, evolution of time, spacial localization. So these factors would be considered in the new assessment method for acoustic amenity. And it was shown that the subjects tend to perceive the noise level less than $3{\sim}5dB\;L_{eqA}$ according to the urban landscapes under the similar noise exposure level.

Poor indoor acoustic environments negatively affect occupants. Previous research has shown that indoor acoustic environments affect not only task performance and job satisfaction of the occupants, but also their health and well-being. This study aimed for evaluating indoor acoustic environments of open-plan offices located in public buildings in Korea. It also aimed to review the matters that need to be considered in order to improve occupants' acoustic comfort. Indoor noise levels were measured in 13 sites; the measurements were conducted for five consecutive working days from Monday to Friday. The noise levels were evaluated based on the levels recommended by the ISO and the EU ALDREN project. The study found that most of the indoor noise levels measured in the sampled sites during the working hours met the ISO standard. In the case of the levels under unoccupied conditions at night, those at three sites did not meet the recommendation of the ALDREN. In addition, some characteristics of the sites had significant effects on the noise level. Since the exact acoustic performance of the building envelope could not be identified, future research is needed for investigating the relationship between accurate building performance and indoor acoustic environments.

본 연구의 목적은 소음진동규제법을 비롯한 각종 소음진동관련 규정의 목적이나 정책의 목표에 기술된 '정온'의 의미를 명확히 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 사운드스케이프 사상에서 나타난 소음의 개념과 쾌적성을 고찰하고, 관련 연구자의 '정온'에 대한 정의를 검토하였다. 그 결과 '정온'은 조용함으로서 양호한 음환경 조성의 기본 요건이지만, 그것만이 절대적 의미의 정온이 아니며 high acoustic quality의 관점에서 사람들이 선호하는 소리가 포함되고 원하지 않은 소리를 마스킹할 수 있는 유쾌한 환경까지를 포함한 상대적 의미가 되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to assess the urban amenity on physical environmental factors, and to verify the effectiveness of the amenity map using correlation analysis of the environmental quality. The physical environmental factors were set to 4 items of green space, landscape, water environment and land use, and the items were composed of 11 detail factors. Based on the factors, GIS maps were constructed and the amenity map was produced using overlay analysis. The results of this study are as follow; the proportion of 1~2 ranks was 40.8% of total area around Dalseong-gun, Dong-gu, Suseong-gu. The lower 6~7 ranks in the amenity assessment was 5.7% of total area around Jung-gu, Seo-gu, Dalseo-gu. According to the results of correlation analysis between the amenity and environmental observed data, $SO_2$ among the air pollution material had a negative correlation with amenity(r=-0.649, p<0.05). In case of water pollution, TN and TP had the negative correlations with amenity (r=-0.643, P<0.01; r=0.642, p<0.01).

쾌적하고 명료성이 높은 교실내의 음향환경은 학생들의 학업 성취도 및 교사의 언어전달 이해 향상을 이룩할 수 있는 중요한 사항이다. 이러한 우수한 교육환경을 위해서는 우선 우리나라의 교실 음향 실태 파악과 함께 교육시설의 음향상태 및 소음에 의한 학업 성취도, 심리적, 사회적 영향에 대한 정량적 조사가 이루어 져야 한다. 국내 교육시설의 음향 실태 파악을 통해 교육시설에서의 음향 및 소음 기준을 수립하여 교육시설내의 음환경 개선을 추진해야 한다. 교실 음향개선을 합리적으로 평가할 수 있는 지표로서 잔향시간과 배경소음이 가장 중요한 요소로 알려져 있다. 교실의 우수한 음환경을 위해 적절한 잔향시간은 $0.4\sim0.6$초, 배경소음은 NC-$25\sim30$수준이 확보되어야 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 교사의 음성레벨과 배경소음과의 비(S/N비)는 최소 10 dB이상 되어야 강의 내용 전달이 가능하며, 각종 기계설비에서 발생되는 소음 및 진동은 저소음 기기 선정을 통해 최소화하여야 한다. 인접 실에서 발생되는 소음을 충분히 차단하기 위해서는 차음성능 우수한 구조의 벽계로 개선되어야 하며, 기밀성이 높은 출입문사용과 적절한 출입구 배치를 통해 인접한 교실로의 소음 전달을 최소화 할 수 있다.

This study aims to know the effect of road traffic noise perception when the visual and aural information is added in a laboratory experiment. ME (magnitude estimation) and SD (semantic differential method) evaluation on the effect of visual and aural effect were carried out by 43 university students. As the result, up to 10 % of psychological reduction effect was shown under the 65 dB(A). As the noise level, it was analyzed that the vision affected about 7 dB(A) and sound affected 5 dB(A). However, if these two are given simultaneously, mainly sound affects to reduce the annoyance of noise and the vision next. Compared with the urban central circumstances, this effect (2 dB(A) under 65 dB(A) noise) was shown smaller than field test.

It is said that the goal of the design of good acoustical environment is at first the reduction of undesirable sounds. and in addition the introduction of desirable sounds by which our minds are soothed. The task of creating the desirable sounds leads to the realization of a comfortable acoustic environment and the design of soundscape. It may be an important starting point of soundscape design to select suitable sounds for the target spaces. because each space has a different surrounding condition and requires a special ambient sound. This paper aims to survey preference of the environmental sounds suitable for the public spaces in urban areas such as parks. bus terminals. 35 kinds of natural sounds are. rated by 26 pairs of adjectives. The results of psycho-acoustic experiments are as follows. 1. The proper adjectives for expressing the environmental sounds are classified into 6 groups of comfort, pleasure, fullness. variety, distinctness. and naturalness. 2. Bird singing. murmuring of a stream, artificial sounds. singing of insects and animals are the affirmative rank of preference. 3. Green musics consisted of music and natural sounds are preferred to the pure natural sounds. 4. Sound level relative to background noise causes various preferences to natural sounds in public spaces.
