Abstract

The research and diagnosis of the soundscape are recently in the Mexican case, even more so in the context of its Historical Centers. In this panorama, there is a need not only for professionalization, but also for dissemination within the fields of architecture and urbanism. Thus, this article contains the experiences and results that the team of the project for the research of soundscapes in historic centers of Mexico sponsored by the National Council of Humanities, Sciences and Technology (CONAHCYT) at the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) has carried out with students and professors of architecture at the Michoacana University of San Nicolás de Hidalgo (UMSNH). The intention is to bring students closer to the use and importance of the ISO 12913 Standard, in a context where Mexican regulations are not linked to this research framework which is a need for taking care of the sound heritage of the urban landscape. It is important to highlight the use of participatory methodologies, like sound walks and mappings, as well as citizen participation in the diagnosis and spreading process.
