Abstract

The urban environmental quality of two districts in Turin was studied through a livingscape approach, involving an integrated subjective and objective field analysis of soundscape, lightscape, thermalscape and airscape. Aspect such as pleasantness, calmness and vibrancy were investigated. The analysis was aimed at comparing the results which were found for the two districts, with the goal of validating this methodology to be used for the requalification of the areas, through the identification of pleasant and unpleasant urban areas using criteria other than the ones that are currently adopted by specialists and which have a limited relevance on open space comfort.
