Determining the desirability of the soundscapes of the Timchehs of Tabriz Bazaar based on objective and subjective assessments

Research reveals that the soundscapes of Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex's Timchehs hold significant desirability, blending objective acoustic measurements with subjective user perceptions. The study, published in the Journal of Research in Islamic Architecture, employed a dual assessment approach to evaluate how these unique architectural spaces influence auditory experiences. Findings indicate that the Timchehs' sound environments are not only acoustically favorable but also culturally resonant, offering insights into preserving and enhancing heritage sites through auditory design. This work bridges scientific analysis with human-centered evaluation, providing actionable recommendations for conserving the sonic character of historic bazaars.
