Since then discussions on further development started, and now ISO 12931-2 should bring more information and confirmation about "Data Collection" from which we will learn more about the character of the holistic of Soundscape and consequent judgments. In addition, there is much new work on ANSI standards that consider life in park and wilderness areas. All of these engagements are directed to enhance the quality of life not only for humans but also for non-human beings. The paper will describe and discuss these different approaches that consider sound as a resource and not a waste. Such procedures can guide the process of designing our acoustic environment based on the participation of people involved.", }
