- Abstract
Every rural area, every quiet zone, has a peculiar soundscape, a natural value the preservation of which is essential. Its acoustic environment is dominated by the noises of nature, although human beings have their role in the configuration of this environment. The absence of a methodology or guidelines for the characterization of the soundscape of rural areas generates a gap in current law and in the field of planning and land use for rural development. This study presents a first approach. Performing an exhaustive fieldwork and by mapping the landscape, an acoustic soundscape of an area in the rural municipality of Láncara, in the province of Lugo (Galicia, Spain) is characterized. Maps are obtained by representing various acoustics index and sound propagation maps generated by the sources identified allowing delimit quiet areas of the territory, those areas where nature noise is clearly dominant and low noise levels characterize the area.
