Abstract:
For indoor soundscaping, identifying the relationship between soundscape perception and spatial
experience and contributing factors is crucial. This study focuses on working environments and
user interactions with the related soundscape variables, in university office spaces. Initially, a
conceptual framework is established in order to evaluate the occupant’s spatial experience and
soundscape perception. Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) methodology is adapted for data
collection and analysis. A systematical procedure of POE has been conducted to collect the data in
three levels; (1) indication, (2) investigation, and (3) diagnosis. The first POE stage on indication
is carried out by observations on space characteristics and measurements of the physical
environment. The structure of the case study design and POE methodology is explained and the
initial findings are presented as part of this ongoing study
