The purpose of this research was to design and deploy tools that apply the concept of citizen observatories and empowering citizens in the assessment of acoustic comfort in public places. The research applies an iterative cycle of design and this article presents the results of a demonstrative experiment carried out in situ using the first products developed. This work was undertaken as part of the CITI-SENSE project. A viable technical and procedural solution was designed and tested in a field demonstration, where 53 people were engaged to provide 137 observations in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, using environmental sensors connected to a smartphone. The results have been analyzed and discussed in terms of the product’s attractiveness for engaging citizens in the evaluation of acoustic comfort in urban places, the accuracy of the noise levels measured by the acoustic app service integrated into the smartphone, and its ability to obtain simultaneous acoustic and perception data. The results presented in this article are considered a step forward in the research into developing solutions for assessing acoustic comfort. Limitations of the proposed solution are discussed, as are suggestions for further research.
N=810) a estudiantes, sus familiares y sus conocidos. En los análisis multivariados, la actitud negativa hacia la inmigración se asociaba a la amenaza cultural y social percibida, a una mayor tendencia emocional negativa hacia los mismos en el caso hipotético de inmigrantes residentes en su propio barrio y a una menor tendencia emocional positiva ante el contacto con ellos. Del mismo modo, en la muestra del País Vasco se contrastó la hipótesis del "Racismo del Pobre", siendo esta cuestionada: los inmigrantes internos (extremeños, andaluces, castellanos y gallegos, inmigrantes de primera y segunda generación en la CAV) mostraban una actitud más favorable hacia la nueva inmigración que los otros grupos (vascos nativos). En el ámbito colectivo el rechazo a los inmigrantes se asociaba a un menor desarrollo social, a valores culturales colectivistas y jerárquicos, y a un menor número de inmigrantes respecto a la población receptora, siendo específicamente la amenaza social colectiva el factor que mejor explicaría, a nivel nacional, la actitud negativa hacia los inmigrantes.
