Sound perception of inhabited space in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic
Project Description: The social remoteness caused by COVID-19 has caused changes in the dynamics of cities around the world. The measures to restrict the use of public and collective spaces caused, by reducing circulation, work and leisure, reduction of sound pressure levels (níveis de pressão sonora – NPS) of environmental noise. In view of the social isolation, the needs of people in the cities for new challenges in the field of buildings, the urban and sound environment were observed. In order to investigate the sound perception of the inhabited space, an online questionnaire entitled “Survey of the sound perception of the inhabited space before the COVID-19 pandemic”, which began on May 7, 2020. The link to access the form is https://forms.gle/ABxiW193pHWoRQUeA. This research seeks to understand the perception of individuals in relation to their habitable environment and the outdoor spaces of their locality (neighbourhood, city), to discuss possible post-pandemic changes. It is expected that from the questionnaire it is possible to analyze and compare different contexts in Brazil. It is estimated to reach a sample of 1,500 volunteer participants. The results will be reproduced through graphs, tables and maps, being published in indexed scientific journals, and observing aspects relevant to a reflection on the theme of acoustic comfort of the population in coping with future habitability behaviors in the face of viral scenarios. Therefore, the research will bring benefits to the collectivity, since it seeks to contribute to greater knowledge of the spatial needs of the population, with an emphasis on noise pollution and the acoustic comfort of its inhabitants.
