Sense of Place and Sound: Revisiting from Multidisciplinary Outlook

Abstract

This study revisits the sense of place and sound nexus in the literature. Along with that, it seeks to explore the approaches that influential urban theorists, landscape architects, and planners have recommended. How these concepts converge within the allied disciplines of urban planning, urban design, geography, and landscape architecture remains at the forefront of this investigation. This research proposes a conceptual framework by identifying sounds in three key categories-auditory experience, sound, and silence-to address the gap between sound and urban studies. The study reveals decisive patterns in urban studies' interface between the sense of place and the sound context.
