“…People will continue to change the environment due to their subjective initiative, the final result may not be the original idea [6,7], we can see the usage mode of some activities and space in the historic district is remained and some had completely disappeared while considering the continuation of time, which is the inevitable result of the urban environmental evolution. In the design of urban soundscape, sound is likely to be generated in any place with human activity in the city, so if we want to change the voice, we can change the place so as to change people's activity pattern and mode of place use, for example, to separate the talking space from singing and dancing space in the open square can change the way to use space, and then change the soundscape in the square.…”

Abstract. From the perspective of urban design, this paper investigates and records the soundscape in city blocks in the use of literature research, acoustic measurement, sound recording, soundscape walk, in-depth interview and other research methods. Based on data analysis, we use "place" concept and spatial analysis method for urban design, put forward to use "soundscape field" to refer to the field domain with integration of sound, sound object and sound environment over a period of time. We also propose to identify sound, sound object, sound environment and sound sustaining time as four elements of urban soundscape, and discuss the relationship among them.

“…The soundscape of a habitat is a combination of environmental sounds (geophony) and biological sounds (biophony) (Pijanowski et al 2011). Therefore, soundscapes in rivers integrate many physical and biological processes, but are likely to be dominated by the hydraulic conditions.…”

Animals make decisions based on the sensory information that they obtain from the environment and other organisms within that environment. In a river, this information is transported, transmitted, masked, and filtered by fluvial factors and processes, such as relative roughness and turbulent flow. By interpreting the resultant signals, animals decide on the suitability of habitat and their reaction to other organisms. While a great deal is known about the sensory biology of animals, only limited attention has been paid to the environmental controls on the propagation of sensory information within rivers. Here, the potential transport mechanisms and masking processes of the sensory information used by animals in gravel-bed rivers are assessed by considering how the physical nature of sensory signals are affected by river hydromorphology. In addition, the physical processes that animals have the potential to directly perceive are discussed. Understanding the environmental phenomena that animals directly perceive will substantially improve understanding of what controls animal distributions, shifting emphasis from identifying correlations between biotic and abiotic factors to a better appreciation of causation, with benefits for successful management.
