Workplace Soundscape Mapping: a Trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method of mapping a workplace soundscape [1] to assess its fitness as a basis for an extended soundscape mapping method. Twelve participants took part within 14 separate environments, which included academic, commercial and domestic locations. Results were visualized and subsequently collapsed to produce typical responses to typical environments, as well as specialist responses to a shared workplace.

Mapping Workplace Soundscapes: Reifying Office Auditory Environments
This paper reports an empirical study to investigate how individuals perceive and classify elements of their workplace auditory environments. The participants were 18 university employees chosen for their varying degrees of room occupancy, from single occupants through to those sharing with up to 11 colleagues. Participants in single rooms were expected to have greater control over their audito...
متن کامل‘Observing’ the Workplace Soundscape: Ethnography and Auditory Interface Design
This paper identifies a gap in the research agenda of the auditory display community – the study of work practice and the uses (current and potential) of the workplace ‘soundscape’. The paper presents a case study derived from a one year activity theory-oriented ethnographic study of information gathering work at a UK daily newspaper. We consider the soundscape aspects of mediating collaborativ...
متن کاملVisualising the Soundfield and Soundscape: Extending Macaulay and Crerar's 1998 Method
The introduction of effective auditory warnings into a shared environment requires a prior understanding of the existing soundfield and soundscape. Reifying the physical and perceptual auditory environment enables a form of preauditioning, as well as the evaluation of any auditory augmentation. This paper describes the development of a visualisation technique for soundscape mapping. Building on...
متن کاملWYSAHIWYG (What You See And Hear Is What You Get): Learning from photocartography in mapping the cross-modal features of the soundscape
“Measuring” the soundscape is like trying to measure the ocean, the forest, or the city—one dimensional metrics and color-coded maps are inadequate to meaningfully describe the myriad complex conditions, relationships, and effects which comprise the soundscape’s impact upon us, and our impact upon it. In order to better understand the subjective experience of the soundscape, we need new methods...
متن کاملA characterization of shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay
We consider a class of hypergraphs called hypercycles and we show that a hypercycle $C_n^{d,alpha}$ is shellable or sequentially the Cohen--Macaulay if and only if $nin{3,5}$. Also, we characterize Cohen--Macaulay hypercycles. These results are hypergraph versions of results proved for cycles in graphs.
