Since then, the word has caught on and the concept has been studied in various kinds of academic fields such as musicology, acoustics, architecture, sociology, geography, and so on. It is also used in our daily lives concerning problems to do with the auditory environment. In Schafer's original idea, 'soundscape' was not really an object around us, but a 'heard' environment, which implies the subjectivity of a human agent. But it has often confused researchers, especially geographers, who in most cases have considered landscape as objective reality. The discussion continues, with some saying soundscape is an environment and others saying it always includes our way of hearing the sound. On the other hand, in the current trend in landscape studies in Japan, as an interdisciplinary field, 'landscape' (keikan) is clearly understood as an object while 'view' (fuˆkei) is seen as a more subjective interpretation. This could give good suggestion to Japanese geographers if they would like to contribute more to the activities and studies of the Soundscape Association of Japan: a new step in terminology needs to be taken first, making a clear distinction between 'soundscape' as an object and, say, 'sonic view', which can imply our way of hearing. Of course, it is not simply a problem of terminology but also one of philosophy itself. Further discussion seems to be required to establish the philosophy of soundscape., 論文}, pages = {110--132}, title = {サウンドスケープと地理学者 : 景観と風景に関する一考察}, volume = {45}, year = {2010}, yomi = {ガタヤマ, ケンイチ} }
