Abstract

In this paper we present the framework of “Soundscape-Lab”, an emerging research lab in Macau, dedicated to study soundscapes in high-density urban and semi-urban environments. Macau is a special administrative region of China, known for its thriving gaming industry and being one of the most densely populated regions in the world. Despite its small size (30.3km2), the territory is quite heterogeneous, featuring islands, continental areas, bridges, beaches, forest, lakes, skyscrapers and an extensive waterfront with almost 40km. Such a variety of locations and human environments in a condensed small area makes Macau a unique setting to conduct large-scale studies, exploring emerging networked technologies for soundscapes monitoring and developing community based acoustic awareness.
