描述了一种方法，该方法使得能够评估诸如公园、绿色或广场的舒适区的潜在安宁。该方法涉及交通噪音水平的评估和测量的百分比的自然和上下文功能使用的照片的场景。实例取自英国西约克郡布拉德福德的三个舒适区。利用公布的噪音地图，在三个公园中可能发现游客的地方以及噪音水平可能最高和最低的地方进行了采样。在这些地点，交通噪声水平的预测，然后宁静评级和平均值和评级的分布进行了比较。讨论了改善感知安宁的建议。
A method is described that enables the potential tranquillity of an amenity area, such as a park, green, or square to be assessed. The method involves the assessment of traffic noise levels and the measurement of the percentage of natural and contextual features using photographs of the scenes. Examples are taken from three amenity areas in Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK. Using published noise maps, sampling was taken at points in the three parks where visitors were likely to be found and where noise levels were likely to be highest and lowest. At these locations, predictions of the traffic noise levels were made and then the tranquillity rating and the mean value and distribution of ratings were compared. Recommendations for improving the perceived tranquillity are discussed.
