Abstract

It is important to preserve the soundscape and landscape of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites, where the vision and auditory acquisition of information plays a major role in human perception. The Great Wall Badaling section, a World Cultural Heritage Site, was selected for this study. A field questionnaire survey with 107 respondents was carried out, aiming to examine the acoustical characteristics of the Great Wall and the relationship between the perception of soundscape and the public visiting experience, measured by the degree of soundscape tranquility (STD), the degree of landscape aesthetic (LAD), and the degree of visiting satisfaction (VSD). The results indicated that: STD showed significantly negative relationship with the perceived frequency, loudness and dominance of surrounding speech. LAD was significantly positively associated with perceived occurrences, loudness, dominance and harmonious of music sounds. And VSD was significantly positively correlated with the perceived frequency and harmony of music and broadcasting sounds.
