Silenzi in Quota Dataset: Questionnaires with Acoustical and Contextual Information from Soundwalks in Protected Natural Areas (International)

The Silenzi in Quota Dataset contains the results of a number of soundscape assessments completed in various protected natural areas across Europe, including the Dolomites (IT), the Cairngorms National Park (UK) and the Malla Nature Reserve (FI). The data collection was conducted via an adapted version of the soundwalk with questionnaire following the ISO/TS 12913-2: 2018 Method A [1]. The dataset contains questionnaire responses and acoustic analyses' output following the reporting requirements set in the above mentioned ISO/TS.

It is expected that this dataset will grow as more contributions are added from future soundwalks. While, all the data has been collected by the Silenzi in Quota, including the team members from University College London and University of Trento, the authors would wellcome contributions from other teams across the world following the same data collection protocol.

The binaural audio recordings from each assessment point are publically available for listening at the following pages:
