Navigating information space: web site design and lessons from the built environment. (2006)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (2006). Navigating information space: web site design and lessons from the built environment. PsychNology journal, 4, 7-24

The Web is the archetypal information space but even on a well designed site it can be difficult to find all the information you need. It is impossible to design a site so that all the information needs of all the users of the site are satisfied on a...

Workplace soundscape mapping: a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2006). Workplace soundscape mapping: a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method. In Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD2006)

This paper describes a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method of mapping a workplace soundscape to assess its fitness as a basis for an extended soundscape mapping method. Twelve participants took part within 14 separate environments, which included a... Read More about Workplace soundscape mapping: a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method.

Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., LePlâtre, G., Crerar, A., & Benyon, D. (2006). Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance.

This paper investigates soundscape classification by using two different forms of data gathering and two different populations. The first method involves a questionnaire completed by 75 audio professionals. The second uses a speak-aloud experiment, d...
