An analysis is developed which integrates the objective approach to acoustics with the subjective approach to the concept of soundscape. Through a quantitativequalitative methodology, the sound itself is analyzed, as well as the evaluation of the subjects who perceive it, located in a certain environmental, social and cultural context. The chosen object of study is the Plaza Urquiza in Tucumán, Argentina, of historical heritage value, where leisure activities are traditionally developed. The methodology involves the study of the physical conditions, sound pressure levels, location and temporal structure of sound sources. Then, in order to know the perception and the evaluation of the soundscape, he proposes to carry out interviews and surveys whose data are processed by descriptive statistics and the constant comparison method. The research develops a feasible methodology to be applied for the study of the soundscape and allows the conception of design recommendations to improve the acoustic quality of this public space and others like it.
