Taiwan Soundscape

The director of World Forum for Acoustic Ecology Nigel Frayne raised a very 'soundscape-studies' question in the opening of the the conference:
'What are the sounds that tell us-- we are home?'
A qualitative research as such often touches my heart. ^_^ Through this blog, I shall find some time to share my PhD research with you!

On 14th March, there will be a noise management and sound design conference held in the London Zoo. Yes, in the zoo! It shall be very interesting! Imagine the elephants screaming during the seminar... ^_^
Being a committee member of the UKISC, I will attend the conference, too. Hopefully there will be people interested in joining UKISC!

Professor Ju-Ju Wang from Ching-Hwah University has conducted quite a few research projects about Taiwanese soundscape. You are very welcome to visit his blog.

Excellent great news! Professor Wang JuJu generously shares his reseassrch papers of soundscape with us. Now you can download them through this blog!
