Abstract
People with visual impairment have unique cognitive and use requirements for urban spaces, audition and olfaction are important media for them to perceive the surrounding environments. Therefore, understanding the auditory and olfactory attributes of the urban soundscape and smellscape that attract them can help to promote their cognition, and encourage them to go out of their homes and better integrate into society. In this study, the Evaluation Grid Method (EGM) was used to conduct a semi-structured in-depth interview with 20 visually impaired people. The interview mainly involved three aspects: the attractiveness attributes of sounscape, the attractiveness attributes of smellscape, and the attractiveness attributes of the matching of soundscape and smellscape. Through merging and sorting out the interview results, 18 soundscape attractiveness attributes (quite, informative, euphonious, directional, eventful, etc), 12 smellscape attractiveness attributes (natural, fresh, regional, appetizing, familiar, etc), and 16 groups of soundscape and smellscape matching attractiveness attributes (euphonious+natural, natural+natural, regional+regional, eventful+eventful, social+appetizing, etc) were extracted. The research results will help to improve the inclusiveness of urban spatial layout and infrastructure.
