Abstract This study is an experimental study to introduce the soundscape design in urban parks. Objective 4 urban parks were surveyed. And Four or three subdivision area in these parks were searched the frently heard sound source and the degree of satisfaction for visual and auditory atmosphere, measured the sound level in 5 minute.??Subjective response to??soundscape??for each subdivision area were carried out using 7 scale S.D. method based on pair of??adjectives. In order to recognized the effect??environment sound (bird sing, sweet ecological music, and nature sounds) for enriching the present soundscape, this study analyzed the subjective response for soundscape before and after using environmental sound. Result of the evaluation of public perception and their sound were varied at the each subdivision area, which represented the special characteristics of the urban parks. The score for perception for the place were always higher than those of the sounds, thus visual image were affected more positively than auditory image. The effect of the environmental sound usually resulted in on improvement in the subjective evaluation at each subdivision area.
