Abstract:
China's national park system is in its early stages of development and encountering management challenges, particularly the lack of experience in managing soundscapes. In contrast, the United States has accumulated significant knowledge and practical outcomes in national park soundscape management over the years. This paper takes the United States as a case study and examines its soundscape management experience, including accelerating the development of relevant laws and regulations, establishing dedicated soundscape management institutions, fostering active collaboration among multiple stakeholders, enhancing soundscape monitoring and noise control capabilities, and improving public awareness and engagement with soundscapes. These measures aim to ensure the comprehensive protection and sustainable management of soundscapes within China’s national parks.
