Field observations of acoustic capacity in hospital public spaces in Shenyang

Description

This dataset contains an field observation table used to examine acoustic capacity mechanisms in hospital public spaces. The CSV has one row per 180-second observation, comprising 354 observations from 51 anonymised public spaces in six Grade III Class A general hospitals in Shenyang, China. Measurements were collected across three field waves: a summer weekday wave in July 2025, a winter weekday wave in January 2026, and a winter weekend wave in January 2026. Each row includes anonymous hospital and space identifiers, hospital scale, public-space zone and functional type, floor level, measurement timing, weekend/weekday status, and whether the observation was part of a parallel-point robustness subset. Acoustic variables include A-weighted equivalent sound level, background sound level, upper percentile sound level, and the fluctuation range. The table also records real-time people load, corridor people count, dominant sound-source group, group-level source-score summaries, and the underlying sound-source item ratings from two reviewers in wide format. Space-level variables include geometry, area, volume, height, room vertical-versus-horizontal proportion, surface absorption summaries, open-boundary scores, and the adjacency exposure score used in the manuscript. Standardised variables used in the mixed-effects models are also provided for reproducibility. The dataset contains no personally identifiable participant information and is intended to support reproduction of the descriptive, source-composition, mixed-effects modelling, and acoustic-capacity analyses reported in the associated manuscript.
