Purpose of Review

Urban green spaces provide benefits for human health and well-being, among other properties, thanks to their ability to attenuate environmental pollutants. The sound environment is not healthy in most cities, and this situation has not changed in recent decades. These green spaces are potential quiet areas with good acoustic quality if they are designed and planned properly from a multidisciplinary perspective. Although the mitigating effects of green infrastructure have been extensively studied, their application in green areas has been very limited. The objective of this study is to analyze those characteristics of green spaces that contribute to a healthy soundscape and, in turn, the benefits that this would give them to the characteristics of green areas, users, and their physical environment.

Recent Findings

Current studies show that to accurately determine the relationship between green spaces and health and well-being benefits, it is necessary to know the interaction with other environmental variables, including the soundscape. The development and application of ISO/TS 12913-2 have promoted the consideration of the soundscape and the use of appropriate procedures for its evaluation.

Summary

The inclusion of soundscape quality in epidemiological studies will improve the quantification of the effects of green spaces on the health and well-being of citizens. Only the consideration of global indicators, such as L_den (dB), show the importance of the sound environment in the interaction with other environmental variables and user activities for the determination of the effects of green spaces on health.

绿地对城市声环境的影响

审查目的

城市绿地因其减弱环境污染物的能力而为人类健康和福祉等带来益处。大多数城市的声环境不健康，这种状况近几十年来没有改变。如果从多学科的角度正确设计和规划，这些绿色空间是潜在的安静区域，具有良好的声学质量。尽管绿色基础设施的缓解效应已被广泛研究，但其在绿地中的应用非常有限。本研究的目的是分析绿色空间有助于健康声景的特征，进而分析这会给绿色区域、用户及其物理环境的特征带来的好处。

最近的发现

目前的研究表明，为了准确确定绿色空间与健康和福祉效益之间的关系，有必要了解与其他环境变量（包括声景）的相互作用。ISO/TS 12913-2 的制定和应用促进了对声景的考虑以及对其评估的适当程序的使用。

概括

将声景质量纳入流行病学研究将改善绿色空间对公民健康和福祉影响的量化。只有考虑全局指标，例如L _den (dB)，才能显示声音环境在与其他环境变量和用户活动相互作用中的重要性，以确定绿色空间对健康的影响。
