Item Action plan for a responsible nightlife in the medieval town of Vitoria-Gasteiz(SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE ACUSTICA - Spanish Acoustical Society, SEA, 2019) García-Perez, Igone; Aspuru Soloaga, Itziar; Pilar, Fernandez Alcala; Alvaro, Santander; Jone, Belausteguigoitia; Irati, Alonso; Andres, Alonso; Calvo-Manzano, Antonio; Delgado, Ana; Perez-Lopez, Antonio; Santiago, Jose Salvador; ADAPTACIÓN AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO; CALIDAD Y CONFORT AMBIENTALBecause of an increase of the leisure activities in the public areas of cities and due to a greater requirement of the citizens' quality life, the noise caused by concurrence of people is one of the issues to be addressed by the City Councils in Spain. Vitoria-Gasteiz has begun addressing this problem from a participatory approach involving all the stakeholders to build a common diagnosis and a shared road map. The identified actions highlight the need fora holistic approach (not only from the spatial point of view but also from the need to consider, apart from the noise, other issues such as safety and cleanliness). These actions also show the need to raise awareness and involve all stakeholders, the key ones being: the leisure users and their own leisure facilities. The technical-participatory execution of the Plan is accompanied by communication actions and performances in public areas to generate enough social impact and also to create awareness of the problem. The focus of the Plan is on the integration of all the stakeholders and on the adaptation of the measures to the reality of Vitoria-Gasteiz.Item ConaCUS: Proposal of simplified acoustic simulator for urban design(SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE ACUSTICA - Spanish Acoustical Society, SEA, 2019) Santander Pantioso, Alvaro; Artola Maiz, Ekain; Igone, García Perez; Beristain Aizpuru, Joseba; Aspuru Soloaga, Itziar; Martínez Bardeci, Ane Miren; Calvo-Manzano, Antonio; Delgado, Ana; Perez-Lopez, Antonio; Santiago, Jose Salvador; CALIDAD Y CONFORT AMBIENTAL; DIGITALIZACIÓN Y AUTOMATIZACIÓN DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN; ADAPTACIÓN AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO; Tecnalia Research & InnovationMeeting the comfort standards in urban spaces is a challenging issue that requires active collaboration between multidisciplinary experts in order to form an appropriate "design team" for each urban space. To form a good design team, the architect who orders the urban space needs to know what the key variables are important to define that area. Some simplified evaluations, but based in technical aspects, can be fundamental to establish these key variables for each case of study. In response to this question, this paper proposes an acoustic simulator (CONACUS) based on the simplified application of standard calculation methods. It provides a first information of the acoustic condition in an area, and analyse the relative importance of this acoustical variable, to identify if using precise acoustic models is requires or not. This simulator is based on a web application that allows its use with an internet navigator without installing any specific program. On the other hand, there other possible applications of a simplified Simulator of Acoustics (CONACUS) are explored in this paper. The results obtained with this simulator has lower precision and no legal validation, but it could be used by non-expert technicians and require less calculation times than the commercial calculation models.Item Validation of an indicator for the assessment of the environmental sound in urban places(2012) García Pérez, Igone; Aspuru Soloaga, Itziar; Herranz-Pascual, Karmele; García-Borreguero, Ibone; ADAPTACIÓN AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO; CALIDAD Y CONFORT AMBIENTAL; Datos y ProtocolosOne of the challenges concerning the consideration of soundscape as a variable that determines the environmental experience in urban places is to define acoustical indicators that correlate with the human perception of the acoustic environment. The main aim is to provide a composite acoustical indicator that could offer a first insight into the soundscape, as a way to simplify the methodologies that usually involve the development of psychosocial approach too. The purpose of this communication is to present the results of the validation of a composite acoustic indicator for the evaluation of the sonic atmosphere in two urban sites in the city of Bilbao. This indicator integrates the intensity of sound, the presence of events and the assessment of the positive or negative perception of the types of sound sources existing in the area. The validation process was carried out through the correlation of the results of the acoustic measurements and the measurements of the acoustical perception of the users of urban places, both developed simultaneously.
