To understand the effects of specific elements that may enhance or detract residents' well-being, it is important to explore the relationships between auditory and visual factors, based on people's sensory experiences. Although residential environments provide natural experimental conditions to observe these relationships, the complexity of measuring sensory perceptions and their subsequent interpretation constitutes a challenge. This study aims to identify the influence of socio-demographics and residential location characteristics on three latent variables: noise-, sound-, and visual- in a Latin American city. The methodology is replicable and relies on a digital survey that displays environments in 360-format video and uses sound immersion techniques; it was applied to a sample of household heads in Quito, Ecuador. Based on an efficient experimental design, we selected different residential environments according to acoustic-visual attributes and the proximity to residential, commercial, and recreational land uses. Structural Equation Models (SEM) were estimated using mediating variables. Our results reveal the influence of noise- on sound- and, indirectly, on visual-. Further analysis shows that the impact of sound and visual perception changes with different socio-demographics and residential location characteristics.
为了解可能增强或损害居民幸福感的特定因素的影响，基于人们的感官体验来探索听觉和视觉因素之间的关系很重要。尽管居住环境提供了观察这些关系的自然实验条件，但测量感官认知及其后续解读的复杂性构成了一项挑战。本研究旨在确定社会人口统计学和居住位置特征对拉丁美洲一个城市的三个潜在变量的影响：噪音、声音和视觉。该方法具有可重复性，依赖于一项数字调查，该调查以360度视频形式展示环境并使用声音沉浸式技术；它应用于厄瓜多尔基多的户主样本。基于高效的实验设计，我们根据视听属性以及与居住、商业和娱乐用地的 proximity 选择了不同的居住环境。使用中介变量估计结构方程模型（SEM）。我们的结果揭示了噪音对声音的影响，并间接对视觉产生影响。进一步分析表明，声音和视觉感知的影响会随着不同的社会人口统计学和居住位置特征而变化。
