brainstorming
Initial ideas for places of study:
Everton Park
Coffee shop, or cafe
Busy periods
Coffee shop and cafe comparisons, service scapes and quality
Sitting area and reflexology path outside Nylon Coffee and At the Myo (popular, have many regular customers), fluctuations throughout the day and neighborhood mood changes
Outside Grub or McDonalds in Bishan Park, layers of sounds
Traffic
Fluctuations throughout the day, marrying dining and nature for an urban park experience
Requires strict typology for coding of collected research
Recordings, survey research or interviews for perceptions
Psychoacoustics of the area
Constructed park
Research references:

Effects of Sound Pressure Levels and Sensitivity to Noise on Mood and Behavioral Intent
Possible study presentations:
Report on Soundscape characteristics
Justify typology chosen and criteria for classification (theoretical underpinnings) and annotation
Recordings:
Sound pressure levels
Classification
Highest levels and lowest levels
Multimedia presentation
Photographs and sound experience
Environment studies, layers, time changes through the day
