Abstract

Çalışmada anlamlı bir mesaj sistemi olarak kentsel ses ortamıyla ilgili seçilmiş temalar incelenmektedir. Kentsel ses manzarasına ilişkin (odyosfer) konuların ve araştırmaların amacı, öncelikle, duyusal şehircilik olarak tariflenen ve R. Murray Schafer ve Kevin Lynch gibi bazı klasik araştırmacılara atıfta bulunan bir sosyal bilim perspektifinden izah edilmesi olarak tanımlanabilir. Bialystok Üniversitesi Sosyoloji Enstitüsü'nden araştırmacılar tarafından 2022-2023 yıllarında yürütülen, Bialystok'un (Polonya) kentsel odyosferinin sosyal yönlerine ilişkin öncü çalışmalar akademik çalışmalarda yer almaktadır. Araştırma, ses yürüyüşlerini bir araştırma yöntemi olarak kullanılma olasılıklarını deneyimlemektedir. Makale, ses manzarasının az ya da çok yapılandırılmış yollarıyla birlikte bu tür bir yöntemin avantajlarını ve dezavantajlarını detaylı bir şekilde ele almaktadır. Çalışma, ses yürüyüşlerine katılanlar arasında kentsel ses manzarasının bireysel yorumlarındaki önemli farklılıklara odaklanmakta ve anlamlı kategoriler olarak sessizlik ve gürültünün rolünü incelemektedir.

Urban Soundscape as A Medium of Communication

Abstract

The article highlights selected themes related to the urban soundscape as a meaningful system of messages. It serves to introduce the topic of the urban soundscape (audiosphere) and its research, primarily from a social science perspective referring to so-called sensuous urbanism and some classic researchers such as R. Murray Schafer and Kevin Lynch. Than it refers to the pilot study of social aspects of the urban audiosphere of Bialystok (Poland), conducted by researchers from the Institute of Sociology at the University of Bialystok in years 2022-2023. The aforementioned research tested the possibilities of using sound walks as a method. The article elaborates on advantages and disadvantages of such method combined with more or less structured ways of evaluation of soundscape. Finally, the article focuses on significant differences in individual interpretations of the urban soundscape among the participants of the sound walks and elaborates on the role of silence and noise as meaningful categories.
