| description | Urban morphology significantly influences residents’ noise perceptions, yet the impact across different spatial and temporal scales remains unclear. This study investigates the scale-dependent relationship between urban morphology and noise perception in New York City using noise complaint rates (NCR) as a proxy for perceived noise levels. A multi-scale analysis framework was applied, including four spatial scales (100 m, 200 m, 500 m, and 1000 m) and three temporal classifications (daytime/nighttime/dawn, weekdays/weekends, and seasonal divisions). Statistical analyses, including Spearman correlation, Moran’s I test, and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), examined spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Results show: (1) NCR and urban morphology indicators vary significantly across spatial and temporal aggregations. (2) Correlations between NCR and urban morphology indicators generally strengthen with larger spatial units, revealing a scale effect. Temporal variations, e.g., residential land ratio (RES) and greenery percentage (SVI Green), show stronger correlations with NCR in summer than in winter. (3) The Moran’s I index revealed significant spatial clustering at the 1000 m scale. Multi-temporal GWR analysis revealed spatial variations in urban morphology-noise relationships across different temporal contexts; in residential areas, building density exacerbates complaints more during non-working periods than during working hours. This study enhances understanding of urban sound environments, offering insights required for more precise urban planning policies. |
