This study aims to explore the definition of acoustical heritage. The study used structured interviews with experts from different cultures and different disciplines and analyzed the interview data in detail through thematic analysis. The five themes are: different terminology, subjects in acoustical heritage, possible categories of acoustical heritage, value of acoustical heritage, and challenges of acoustical heritage preservation. Based on individual definitions of acoustical heritage proposed by experts and through detailed analysis and discussion, this paper proposes a multidimensional definition of acoustical heritage. date: 2024-01-15 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2023.109754 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2111346 doi: 10.1016/j.apacoust.2023.109754 lyricists_name: Aletta, Francesco lyricists_name: Oberman, Tin lyricists_id: FALET55 lyricists_id: TOBER63 actors_name: Aletta, Francesco actors_id: FALET55 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Applied Acoustics volume: 216 article_number: 109754 issn: 0003-682X citation: Zhu, Xiaoyan; Oberman, Tin; Aletta, Francesco; (2024) Defining acoustical heritage: A qualitative approach based on expert interviews.
