AB Tecnalia has applied the concept of citizen observatories to empower citizens in the assessment of acoustic comfort in public places. Tools and observation protocols are defined to allow citizens collecting simultaneous objective and subjective data of the sound environment in places of their city known by them. Previous works stated that criteria to define quiet areas should consider not only noise levels, but subjective data also, giving importance to the end-users perception of the area. This work was undertaken as part of the CITI-SENSE project and the solution was tested in a field demonstration, where 53 people were engaged to provide 137 observations in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, using environmental sensors connected to a smartphone.
