Soundscape plays a crucial role in place-making at industrial heritage sites, enhancing visitors' understanding of the site's heritage value. This study investigates public attitudes towards industrial heritage site soundscapes and analyzes the impact of sound-based place-making, using the Museum of Industrial Heritage in Bologna, Italy as a case study. Field research and questionnaires were employed to gather data. Findings reveal a positive reception among the public towards soundscape design in heritage sites, highlighting its numerous advantages. Soundscapes not only enhance visitors' perceptions and attractiveness of heritage sites but also establish a sensory connection between individuals and the heritage environment. Moreover, soundscapes enrich the visitor experience by simulating authentic sounds, creating an immersive atmosphere, and deepening the sense of presence. To facilitate effective soundscape design, a design strategy for industrial heritage sites is proposed. It emphasizes public perception, interactive elements, control of decibels and disturbances, and the creation of rich and realistic soundscapes. The empirical analysis underscores the positive influence of soundscapes on place-making in industrial heritage sites, reinforcing the connection between tangible and intangible heritage while preserving authenticity and integrity.

Abstract

Soundscape plays a crucial role in place-making at industrial heritage sites, enhancing visitors' understanding of the site's heritage value. This study investigates public attitudes towards industrial heritage site soundscapes and analyzes the impact of sound-based place-making, using the Museum of Industrial Heritage in Bologna, Italy as a case study. Field research and questionnaires were employed to gather data. Findings reveal a positive reception among the public towards soundscape design in heritage sites, highlighting its numerous advantages. Soundscapes not only enhance visitors' perceptions and attractiveness of heritage sites but also establish a sensory connection between individuals and the heritage environment. Moreover, soundscapes enrich the visitor experience by simulating authentic sounds, creating an immersive atmosphere, and deepening the sense of presence. To facilitate effective soundscape design, a design strategy for industrial heritage sites is proposed. It emphasizes public perception, interactive elements, control of decibels and disturbances, and the creation of rich and realistic soundscapes. The empirical analysis underscores the positive influence of soundscapes on place-making in industrial heritage sites, reinforcing the connection between tangible and intangible heritage while preserving authenticity and integrity.
