abstract = {Soundscape studies are showing the importance and the
benefits regarding the sonic the environment in our daily
lives. The soundscape paradigm shift, not just negative
aspects, common on environmental noise studies, is
highlighted, but also how the sonic environment can be
recovering to the welfare of communities. Thinking on the
valuation of settings, past studies focused mainly on how
much the environmental noise cost society. This kind of
valuation followed several methods like hedonic pricing,
contingent valuation, and benefits transfer methods based
just on economic factors involving socio-economic aspects.
This study aims to show a new approach which fits better
with the soundscape paradigm shift established by the ISO
12913. The study highlights the valuation of positive and
negative aspects of the evaluated soundscape, together with
the interaction of socio-economic and socio-cultural,
psychoacoustic, landscape, thermal-comfort, and air quality
aspects, which are other stimuli that can influence our
general environmental perception. Context also has great
importance. Through the diversification of data collection
(soundwalks and interviews) with different target public, it
was possible to ensure the coverage and understanding of
this aspect on soundscape studies and the development of the
proposed Soundscape Cost Index. The index shown in this work
can explain $58\%$ of the combination of the above-mentioned
aspects related to public spaces users' soundscape
expectations, helping to redirect public authorities'
efforts to provide healthy and comfortable public areas and
ensure a reliable and better life quality.},
