Noise has been proved to be a risk factor of physiological and psychological health. Therefore, creating a high-quality acoustic environment for people is particularly important. The aims of this study are to explore the basic elements, propose a conceptual framework, and identify the definition of a healthy acoustic environment. Through the method of grounded theory, 75 respondents participated in interviews. The results revealed that (1) "sound sources and acoustic environment," "people's demands," "criteria and standards of a healthy acoustic environment," "matching process," "secondary fitting process," "context," and "acoustic environment quality" are the basic elements of a healthy acoustic environment; (2) "matching process" and "secondary fitting process" connect all the other categories and reflect the processes by which a healthy acoustic environment is judged; (3) based on the associations revealed in the framework, a healthy acoustic environment is defined as a supportive acoustic environment that can match people's physiological, psychological, and behavioral demands in context, and that also fits the criteria and standards. The proposal of a conceptual model for a healthy acoustic environment can provide a new perspective on designing and establishing a high-quality acoustic environment required by people in the near future.
噪音已被证明是影响生理和心理健康的一个风险因素。因此，为人们营造一个高质量的声学环境尤为重要。本研究的目的是探索基本要素，提出一个概念框架，并确定健康声学环境的定义。通过扎根理论方法，75名受访者参与了访谈。结果表明：（1）“声源与声学环境”“人们的需求”“健康声学环境的标准和准则”“匹配过程”“二次适配过程”“背景”以及“声学环境质量”是健康声学环境的基本要素；（2）“匹配过程”和“二次适配过程”连接所有其他类别，并反映了判断健康声学环境的过程；（3）基于该框架中揭示的关联，健康声学环境被定义为一种支持性声学环境，它能够在背景中匹配人们的生理、心理和行为需求，并且也符合标准和准则。健康声学环境概念模型的提出可以为在不久的将来设计和建立人们所需的高质量声学环境提供一个新的视角。
