Newman P, Taff D, Weinzimmer D, Newton J, Leslie C. 2014. Soundscape social science survey for air tour management and soundscape planning at Bandelier National Monument. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/BAND/NRTR—2014/845. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This research examined the impacts of current soundscape conditions on visitor experiences by determining what sounds visitors heard and how they felt about those sounds. Additionally, this study examined respondents’ motivations and expectations for their visit to the Monument, in terms of soundscape conditions. This information will inform planning and soundscape management by identifying potential visitor-based desired conditions for the soundscape and can assist staff in their preparation of the Monument’s Comprehensive Interpretive Plan update and Air Tour Management Plan.
