N1 - Funding Information:
The main research leading to these results has received funding from the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union?s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under REA grant [number 290110], SONORUS ?Urban Sound Planner?. The primary study was conducted while the fourth author was a Newton International Fellow at the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield, sponsored jointly by the Royal Society and British Academy. The authors are grateful to all the participants who contributed with their responses to the experiment, as well as to Karlo Filipan and Bert De Coensel who helped in the audio files processing.? Special thanks to Rohan N. Singh for his contribution with the outdoor recordings, supported by the Sheffield Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) scheme.

N2 - The purpose of this case study was to explore the relationship between land use and sound sources and how to characterize urban environments in this respect. To this end, binaural recordings and 360° videos were used in a listening experiment, where 20 university students assessed the dominance of sound sources coupled with the appropriateness of land use variables and variables of social and recreational activities. Principal Components Analysis showed that the activity-based environment can be explained by two main components related to the degree of manmade features and the density of people. These components are closely associated with sounds.
