We address this challenge developing an analytical procedure resulting generalized soundscape classification framework (i) elucidates dominant (e.g. biophony vs. anthrophony) (ii) can be used improve our understanding spatial temporal variation across different contexts. also knowledge gap urban research describing informal settlements Fiji Indonesia. Despite growing emphasis improving physical design life settlements, little known about these settings relationship human well-being. identified seven classes representing relative dominance sustained geophony, dominated insect stridulation (iii) bird song, anthrophony (iv) machines, (v) vehicles, (vi) voices (vii) mixture former.
