Effect of Soundscape on Consciousness Reformation

Abstract

Sound has a profound impact not only on acoustic sense but also cognitive processes such as mental imagery and associative memory. The concept of "soundscape" proposed by R. Mary Schaffer is to utilize the feature of sound as a stimulus for realizing the world around us. In this study, we employ a soundscape methodology to provide local residents living in Juso area the opportunity to raise people's consciousness. Experimental results show the availability of soundscape methodology on consciousness reformation.
