Evaluating a visual-acoustic simulation for wind park assessment

摘要: The implementation of wind parks often fails due to lack public acceptance. Visual-acoustic landscape simulations offer a potential instrument for participation, allowing experiencing the visual and acoustic impact. However, before such can be implemented in practice, they need validated. In this article, we develop apply an approach evaluate visual-acoustic assessing park perceptions. compares whether generate similar reactions respondents as recordings same environments. survey participants made assessment represented by simulations. The results show that there was nearly no difference rating annoyance turbine noise between simulation. With regard ratings based on were lower than ones recordings. indicates aspects simulation differ compared recording, coherent coloring animation elements. differences both, perception have considered when using further studies. Overall, described successfully applied contributes validity testing methods. is preliminary exploratory study. A complete test should compare actual environment, which studied.
