Summary
This special issue aims to advance our understanding of soundscape perspectives and noise pollution challenges by bringing together researchers from different disciplines to provide a multidisciplinary overview on noise management and Soundscape Design focalizing on techniques, and sustainable solutions to reduce noise pollution and improve acoustic comfort.
We welcome submissions of original research papers, review articles, and case studies, addressing various aspects related to soundscape perspectives and noise pollution challenges. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:
· Effects of Noise Pollution on Human Health
· Environmental Impacts of Noise Pollution
· Noise Mitigation Strategies and Technologies
· Soundscape Design and Urban Planning
· Psychoacoustics and Perception of Sound
· Cultural Perspectives on Soundscape
· Legal and Policy Frameworks for Noise Control and soundscape Design
· Innovative Approaches to Soundscape and noise pollution Education and Awareness
Through this special issue, we hope to contribute to encouraging all governmental organizations not only to consider the complexity of the urban and natural soundscape and noise pollution in current regulations but also to use it as a guideline for the sustainable planning of urban and rural environments.
