“…Such tech-nologies have the advantage of offering greater control over variables compared to in-situ studies, but at the possible risk of introducing artifacts and cognitive experiences that are different to those perceived in real-world conditions [19]. To that end, it has been demonstrated that, quality assessments of "overall pleasantness" of in-situ soundwalks do not differ significantly to those collected in laboratory (ex-situ) settings [20].…”

The design of soundscape evaluation protocols, realized either in-situ (real-world) or in laboratory conditions, and the assessment of their ecological validity is gaining interest among researchers. This paper reports on an experiment that aims to simulate the listening conditions of interacting with a travel-guide application presenting users with recreations of historically-informed soundscapes, designed to be used in-situ, in a laboratory setting. This was achieved by simulating the real-world soundscapes, which would have surrounded users of the app when used outside, from a periphonic speaker arrangement in a sound-treated space using an 2D ambisonic reproduction of the corresponding data. The evaluation results showed that participants interacted with the travel-guide content in a manner that resembled a real-life situation. That is, they were in general able to recognize and separate the auditory content of the travel-guide from that of the real-world simulated auditory space they where placed within, with some occasional confusions. This study adds to the work on the ecological validity of soundscape evaluations and tries to highlight the boundaries between the two simultaneous soundscape auditions.

“…Before the focus group meeting, literature about the national soundscape studies that uses questionnaires including Turkish attributes are examined [26,27,29,31,34,35] and a list for each attribute is prepared to be discussed in the focus group meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, authors informed the participants about the purpose and the scope of the project, and the prepared list of Turkish attributes by a presentation.…”

“…The last part of the questionnaire adapted a semantic differential scale composed of thirty bipolar adjectives in the Turkish language available in the existing literature [12][13] to assess the subjective quality of the acoustic environments. Every participant responded to the bipolar metrics on a 5-point scale.…”

Libraries are constantly evolving, and as a response, the acoustic requirements of the space are changing too. Nowadays, they serve several purposes, from group discussions to private, quiet study areas. This study analyzes the perceived sound environment in Şevket Sabancı Library. The library has a four-storey plan layout with different functions such as multimedia rooms for group working as well as quiet study areas, resulting in a total of 2500m 2 . 30s-long binaural recordings are taken from eight different locations in the library, showing their respective functions' soundscape identity. Simultaneously, the spaces' sound pressure levels (SPL) are measured in situ. Twenty different people listened to all recorded clips in a listening room and assessed the perceived sound environment through a semantic differential scale. The participants evaluated the recorded sounds through thirty pairs of adjectives in the Turkish language using a fivepoint bipolar scale and sound sources. The initial findings indicate variations in the acoustic environment across the chosen spaces, as assessed in terms of their assessment and appropriateness, which also exhibit a positive correlation. Furthermore, the acoustic composition of the soundscape recordings differs across the locations, particularly in terms of the dominance of different sound sources.
