The collaborative and comprehensive work of group-1, who have attended the short term scientific mission (STSM) initiated through COST: Action TD0804, for the training on soundscape recording and analysis techniques is presented. Group-1, was composed of 9 young researchers who were trained by experienced researchers. The theoretical part of the training school included firstly, introduction to measurement technology, its theory and practical use and secondly, the basic analysis of sound by the conventional indicators and psychoacoustic parameters. Practice on field study was accomplished through semi-structured interview techniques, and evaluation of the recorded dialogue by grounded theory. All these theoretical and practical exercises were followed by a case study. The case study was designed as a sound walk on a pre-defined route, which was accompanied with binaural recordings and soundscape evaluation survey. The STSM for training on the soundscape recording and analysis was accomplished through the presentations and discussions of the results for the case studies of the groups. The results of the recordings and surveys as well as the results of the comparative lab-listening tests of the recorded sound samples of group-1 are presented and discussed as the major parts of this study.
