    EXPERIENCES FROM IYS 2020, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND AWARENESS ACTIVITIES IN TURKEY
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Şaher, K.; Sezgin, H.; Dümen, A.Ş.; Nas, S.; Kulak, S.; Özçetin, Z.
    The year 2020, which has been designated as the International Year of Sound with the intention of celebrating and promoting the importance of sound for science and society was ironically started as a silent and isolated year with the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, these unprecedented times and activities around the world, which explored the interaction between sound, technology and the society, presented sound experiences for humanity and the ecosystem that they have never had the opportunity to experience before. This study reports on the activities of Turkish Acoustical Society during these times and aims to draw attention to the benefits, challenges, and opportunities of the instruments for widening participation and spreading knowledge relating to sound. The main activities were public opinion survey on noise annoyance in dwellings before and during the pandemic, Turkish Glossary of Acoustic Terms, IYS Drawing and Composition Competition in Turkish schools and various seminars, interviews, podcast on social media channels. Our experience and findings suggest that designing and implementing activities that actively includes researchers, teachers, students and ordinary people may help increase public engagement behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively, there by positively affecting awareness in sound related subjects. © 2023 First author et al.

    THROUGH HEALTIER LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN TURKISH SCHOOLS
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Şaher, K.; Öztürk, A.; Dümen, A.Ş.; Demiral, Y.; Ozankan, A.
    Turkish Acoustical Society (TAKDER) and Occupational Hygienists Society (IHIDER) of Turkey organized a series of events for International Noise Awareness Day (INAD) 2023 in collaboration with, Acoustical Society of Italy and Acoustical Society of Spain with the theme “Keep your hearing, keep your health: Educational facilities”. As part of INAD 2023 activities, a research project for assessment of acoustic conditions in schools and teachers' noise exposure and its health effects was started as a joint project between TAKDER and IHIDER. This short paper introduces the preliminary results of this project, including evaluation of the acoustical quality in four Turkish schools of four institution levels: kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and secondary school. The acoustic performance of schools was analyzed by on-site measurements of sound insulation, reverberation time, ambient noise levels and speech intelligibility. The findings of the survey were analyzed in reference to the national regulation. The results indicate that most of the building elements and school spaces do not comply with acoustic criteria. The findings are further to be discussed in collaboration with professionals from variety of disciplines to transform schools through a healthier and more comfortable learning environment for children and teachers. © 2023 First author et al.
