Navigating soundscape standardization: understanding barriers to the ISO 12913 implementation
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper explores challenges and opportunities surrounding the implementation of the ISO 12913 series on soundscape, established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to standardize definitions, frameworks, and methodologies for soundscape research. Through semi-structured interviews with National Standards Bodies (NSBs) representatives and focus group discussions with soundscape experts and stakeholders, the paper unveils barriers such as a lack of national interest, resource constraints, and insufficient awareness and literacy about soundscape theory. This study offers an opportunity to the broader field of environmental standards, giving practical insights for overcoming barriers and promoting the (further) adoption of ISO 12913 for healthier acoustic environments.
