Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the difference of soundscape evaluation results from on-site field test and laboratory test which are commonly used for soundscape surveys. In order to do this, both field and lab tests were carried out at four different areas in Cheongju city. On-site questionnaire surveys were undertaken to 65 people at 13 points. Laboratory listening tests were carried out to 48 adults using recorded sounds and video. Laboratory tests were undertaken to two different groups who had experience of field survey or not. Also, two different sound reproduction tools, headphones and speakers, were used in laboratory tests. As a result, it was found that there is a very close correlation between sound loudness and annoyance in both field and laboratory tests. However, it was concluded that there must be a difference in recognizing the figure sounds between field and laboratory tests since it is hard to apprehend on-site situation only using visual and aural information provided in laboratory tests. In laboratory tests, it was shown that there is a some difference in perceived most loud figure sounds in two groups using headphones and speakers. Also, it was analyzed that there is a tendency that field experienced people recognize the figure sounds using their experienced memory while non-experienced people can not perceive the figure sounds.

본 연구의 목적은 현재 음풍경 조사를 위해 사용되는 실험법 중 현장평가와 실험실평가를 비교․분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 청주시 내 4개 지역에서 현장평가와 실험실평가를 수행하였다. 현장평가에서는 각 측정점을 이용 중이던 65명의 시민이 음풍경 평가에 참여했으며, 실험실평가에서는 20세 이상 건청인 48명이 참여해 녹취한 영상과 소리를 보고 들은 뒤 평가를 진행하였다. 실험실 평가는 현장 경험자와 현장 비경험자로 나누어 실시하였으며, 음원의 청취 방법을 달리하여 헤드폰 및 스피커 이용 그룹으로 분류하여 실시하였다. 분석결과, 현장평가와 실험실평가에서 공통적으로 소리의 크기와 불쾌감 사이에 매우 높은 상관관계가 나타났다. 그러나 실험실 평가에서는 시각 및 청각적 정보만으로는 현장의 상황을 정확히 판단할 수 없기 때문에 현장평가와 실험실평가에서 신호음 인식에 대한 차이가 나타났다. 실험실평가에서 헤드폰과 스피커 이용 그룹의 응답결과 중 가장 크게 들리는 신호음의 인지에 차이가 있었다. 또한 현장경험자는 자신이 경험한 기억을 이용하여 신호음을 인지하는 경향이 있는 반면에 현장비경험자는 주 신호음을 인지하지 못하는 경우가 있었다.
