Abstract: In order to fill the academic blank of soundscape research in the current forest park planning management field, Zijin Mountain National Forest Park was chosen as the research object, while a soundscape spatial database was set up based on the platform of ArcGIS 9.3 by combing field survey data and questionaire survey method. Eleven environmental factors closely related with soundscape, such as stand, terrain and human disturbance were generated to do surface trend analysis, geographically weighted regression(GWR)of soundscape on the platform of ArcGIS 9.3. Research results showed: Spots with high soundscape harmony value was mainly distributed on the northeast of the mountain, while the spots with low harmony value was located at the south and the northwest edge of the park. The spatial pattern of soundscape harmony value showed a zonal distribution trend that the spots with high harmony value was located at east, medium in the center, the lowest on the edge. Soundscape harmony value is positively correlated with forest growth status, altitude of the scenic forest,and the slope, negatively correlated with density of the settlement and road. In terms of the results of the study, a pattern of “one nuclear and four areas” would be put forward to establish the frame of preliminary soundscape plan.
