Table 8: Non-parametric test and Spearman’s rho correlation of perceived sound sources and demographic / social factors of gender, age, education, living place, visit frequency and visit purpose. importance is associated with Croatian environmental satisfaction, not with Chinese. In other words, tranquility areas are more likely to be considered for construction in Croatia. In terms of demographic and social factors, visit purpose is the dominant factor, which correlated with sound and overall environmental satisfaction both in China and Croatia. Visit frequency and living place are associated with sound satisfaction in China, not in Croatia. Education is negatively correlated with overall environment satisfaction both in China and Croatia. Visit frequency, age and living place are correlated with pleasantness and eventfulness of soundscape factors in China and Croatia. Visit frequency and purpose are common factors in the tranquility importance both in China and Croatia. It demonstrates that functions of urban open public space should be considered as an important context for soundscape design [55]. No significant difference was found between males and females both in China or Croatia on soundscape evaluations. Additionally, in China, the level of education is positively correlated to the need for tranquility, and in Croatia, age is positively correlated to it. In other words, the functions of open public spaces and people's characteristics and activities should be considered for the acoustic environment and tranquility design in both countries, especially for the main purpose of traveling.
