From understanding to designing soundscapes

Jian KANG

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2010, Volume 4, Issue 4,   Pages 403-417 doi: 10.1007/s11709-010-0091-5

Abstract: Soundscape represents a step change in the field of environmental acoustics in that it combines physical, social, and psychological approaches. Although the term soundscape was introduced in the 1960s, significant attention to it has mainly been paid in the last decade or so in the community of environmental acoustics by researchers and recently by practitioners including policy makers. This paper explores the current situation and future challenges in soundscape. Starting with a framework on research and practical needs in soundscape and a brief introduction of some recent/current networks, activities, projects, and publications, this paper then presents a systematic review of recent progress in soundscape research and practice. A short review of the soundscape research in China is also given.

Engineering 2018, Volume 4, Issue 2,   Pages 182-189 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2018.03.014

Abstract:

The grand challenges of climate change demand a new paradigm of urban design that takes the performanceof urban systems into account, such as energy and water efficiency.Traditional urban design methods focus on the form-making process and lack performance dimensions.The method is tested and refined in a test case with the objective of designing a near-zero-energy urbanThis paper concludes with issues and next steps in modeling urban design and infrastructure systems based

A survey of physical activity among urban women in China

Shilin DENG MD, Tongyuan LIU,

Frontiers of Medicine 2009, Volume 3, Issue 4,   Pages 463-469 doi: 10.1007/s11684-009-0081-y

Abstract: Few studies have been conducted to assess the level of physical activity (PA) of women in China. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of PA among women in Wuhan and explore sociodemographic and behavioral correlation to PA for the population. A total of 1359 community-dwelling women (42.9713.60 years old) participated in this study. The long-version IPAQ was used to define the level of PA. 45.7% of women were considered physically active, and 27.5% were vigorously active. The proportion of physical inactivity was around 26.8%. The total and 4 domains of PA showed significant age, education level, and occupation variation. PA tended to be lower as the age declined. PA in transportation, housework, leisure time, and the total tended to be the lowest or the second lowest among the women aged 18–35 years old. PA tended to be lower as the level of education increased. Among the 5 indices, PAwas the lowest among women with college education, especially those with postgraduate education. PA tended to be the lowest among the women of office staff and instructor or technician. Generally, the total and 4 domains of PA showed significant age, education level, and occupation variation. Physical inactivity appears to be more common among younger women, or college-educated women, office ladies, and female instructor and technicians.
