Crossing Professional Habits for more Global. Analysis of Urban Soundscapes

International audienceSoundscape standardisation is an actual question of sound research, specifically in human and social sciences. Some late works have revealed that standardisation of urban soundscapes is or may be a consequence of contemporary space design, specifically when it comes to environmental or commercial design. In this perspective and in order to prevent this possible standardisation, but also to go beyond a negative and curative approach of "noise" and towards a more qualitative and crossed/interdisciplinary approach, the "DIAGPART" research took place. Its goal was double: \n1. Scientific goal: better understand how the multiple stakeholders of urban soundscapes (acousticians, urban designers, applied researchers in human and social sciences, soundmakers, local stakeholders) mobilise soundscape in their everyday activities; highlight the tools, methods, approaches, formalisations mobilized by the different stakeholders of urban soundscapes during a soundscape analysis; and understand if and in which ways they (could) mobilise other approaches and disciplines in their activity.\n2. Operational goal: propose a tool to help on setting up a cross-disciplinary analysis of urban soundscapes, addressed to the different stakeholders (designers, researchers, inhabitants, local stakeholders…). \nIn order to answer these questions, in addition to a recension of the ways in which the different stakeholders approach atmospheres and soundscapes, 6 workshops of discussion and in situ experimentation were carried out, based on the focus group methodology, followed by a transversal seminar . \nThe results of this research are both related to scientific knowledge about the ways and means that urban soundscape analysis is carried out by the soundscape stakeholders, and to a collection of operational tools that the stakeholders can use in order to approach urban soundscapes in a more interdisciplinary and global way
