本文介绍了阿姆斯特丹的安静场所项目。本研究的目的是找出：（1）阿姆斯特丹居民认为有哪些公共安静场所； (2) 安静的地方有什么特征； （3）居民希望安静的程度如何； （4）居民如何实现这些需求。决定安静需求的因素以模型的形式呈现，该模型显示了人口和社会经济问题、健康状况、对噪音的敏感度、日常活动以及家中及周围噪音的影响。这些因素中最重要的是对噪声的敏感性。老年人和健康状况不佳的人通常对噪音更敏感。那些被交通、飞机等声音烦扰的人表现出对安静的更高需求。家庭或邻里热闹的人对安静的需求较低。到一个安静的地方去散步或骑自行车可以对安静的需求产生补偿作用。这表明在城市环境中创造安静的场所并增加安静休闲的可能性可以对城市的生活质量产生积极的影响。安静地点的客观噪声水平取自环境噪声地图。这表明人们可能偏好较低的运输噪声水平，但高达 60 dB Lday 的水平是可以接受的。显然，这取决于一个区域的相对安静或非声学特征：植被和其他令人愉悦的刺激物的存在。
This paper describes the Quiet Places Project in Amsterdam. The purpose of the study was to find out: (1) which public quiet places there are according to Amsterdam residents; (2) what characterizes a quiet place; (3) to what extent do residents want peace and quiet; (4) how do residents realize these needs. The factors determining the need for quietness are presented in a model showing the influence of demographic and socio-economic issues, health status, sensitiveness to noise, daily activities and the noisiness in and around home. Most important of these factors is sensitivity to noise. Elderly and less healthy people are more often sensitive to noise. People who are annoyed by sound from traffic, airplanes and the like show a higher need for quietness. People with a lively household or neighbourhood report lower needs for quietness. Visiting a quiet place and going outside to walk or bike can have a compensating effect on the need for quietness. This suggests that creating quiet places and enhancing possibilities for quiet recreation in urban environments can have a positive effect on the quality of life in the city. Objective noise levels at the quiet places were taken from environmental noise maps. This shows that there may be a preference for low transportation noise levels, but levels up to 60 dB Lday are acceptable. Apparently this depends on a relative quietness or on non-acoustic characteristics of an area: the presence of vegetation and other pleasant stimuli.
