Towards quantifying the quality of tranquil areas with reference to the National Planning Policy Framework.Watts, Gregory R., Pheasant, Robert J. 2013 May 1924 (has links)
yes / The UK has recently recognized the importance of tranquil spaces in the National Planning Policy
Framework, NPPF. This paper reports on applying the tranquillity rating prediction tool, TRAPT for
predicting the perceived tranquillity of a place and using this tool to classify the levels of tranquillity
in existing areas. The tool combines soundscape and landscape measures to produce a tranquillity
rating on a 0-10 rating scales. For these purposes noise maps, spot noise level measurements,
photographic surveys were used to predict tranquillity levels in 8 parks and open spaces in or near
the city of Bradford in West Yorkshire in the UK. In addition interviews were conducted with visitors
to validate these predictions. It was found that there was a reasonably close relationship between
predicted and average assessments given by park visitors which confirmed the usefulness of the
tranquillity rating prediction tool for planning and conservation purposes.

Factors affecting tranquillity in the countryside.Watts, Gregory R., Pheasant, Robert J. 24 May 2013 (has links)
Yes / Previous work on elucidating the tranquillity of various environments has largely focussed on prediction and validation in urban environments. The setting for the latest phase of research was an English country park and surrounding moors on the urban fringe located 8 miles west of Bradford.
Within the area selected there were a number of environments and man-made features and sounds that were thought to significantly affect tranquillity and which were not covered in earlier studies. The experiment extended over a number of months and utilised a jury technique for evaluation involving
leading small groups of walkers to different locations in quasi-random order. At each location participants were asked to complete a short questionnaire and measurements of the physical soundscape and landscape images were used to interpret the results and give insights into the importance of the various factors affecting tranquillity. Such data will be useful for effective environmental management and conservation in the countryside.
