在城市和乡村环境中，“宁静空间”主要是通过听觉和视觉方式接收的感官信息来构建的。本文报告了一项研究的结果，该研究旨在验证并进一步开发“安宁评级预测工具”，该工具先前由作者[Pheasant等人]提出。JASA 123(3), 1446-1457(2008)]，它利用场景中包含的自然特征的百分比和噪声指数L（Amax）或L（Aeq）中的任何一个作为关键成分。验证研究结果表明，在对视听组合刺激作出反应时，a加权声压级L（Aeq）与安宁等级的关系最为显著。这是建议，一个修改的措施的视觉组成的场景纳入上下文方面是必要的。这项工作的结果应该对那些负责景观管理的人特别感兴趣，例如国家公园管理局、地区委员会和其他有关提供和维护公共设施的机构。
In both urban and rural environments, 'tranquil space' is predominantly constructed through the sensory information received by the auditory and visual modalities. This paper reports the results of a study that set out to validate and further develop a 'Tranquillity Rating Predication Tool', previously proposed by the authors [Pheasant et al. JASA 123(3), 1446-1457 (2008)], which utilises the percentage of natural features contained within a scene and either of the noise indices L(Amax) or L(Aeq), as the key components. The results of the validation study show that when responding to combined audio-visual stimuli the A-weighted sound pressure level L(Aeq) is most significantly related to the Tranquillity Rating. It is suggested that a modified measure of the visual composition of a scene incorporating contextual aspects is required. The findings of this work should be of particular interest to those charged with landscape management, such as the National Park Authorities, Regional Councils, and other agencies concerned with providing and maintaining public amenity.
