In these past years, Bandung City's official start to pay more attention to the <br /> <br /> <br /> availability of open space. According to Dinas Pemakaman dan Pertamanan, <br /> <br /> <br /> several efforts to revitalize and build new parks has not yet included the acoustical <br /> <br /> <br /> quality as one of the aspect to be concerned, so it caused an unoptimized <br /> <br /> <br /> potentials to the parks functionality as a public open space. This research observe <br /> <br /> <br /> the acoustic aspect of Taman Lansia, Taman Balai Kota and Taman Alun-Alun, <br /> <br /> <br /> choosen by their popularity and conditions' compatibility with the criteria of a <br /> <br /> <br /> decent public open space. This research applied Soundscape's approach which is <br /> <br /> <br /> able to give an objective review about city park sonic's environment, visitor <br /> <br /> <br /> perception and relations in both aspects. The objective review conducted through <br /> <br /> <br /> analysis of noise parameter's variation as a function of time and zone, and also the <br /> <br /> <br /> distribution pattern of sound pressure in the level of 1/3 octave. The subjective <br /> <br /> <br /> review is also conducted to know the utilization pattern of parks by visitors and <br /> <br /> <br /> how the visitors' perception towards the composition of sound sources which <br /> <br /> <br /> shaped the sonic environment surrounding those parks. From this research, there <br /> <br /> <br /> is incompatibality between sound source's domination according to the objective <br /> <br /> <br /> review with the sound source’s domination from the visitor perception which said <br /> <br /> <br /> that the most dominant sound from the three parks is sound from vehicles. The <br /> <br /> <br /> domination of vehicle sound did not support the parks functions as and open <br /> <br /> <br /> public spaces, and therefore the action focuses on the need to direct vistiors <br /> <br /> <br /> attention in making more positive impression about the parks.
