Abstract

Along with the global ecological crisis, city activities profoundly affect birds' habitats. With the development of data science, birds' acoustic data is considered an ecological indicator for observing and evaluating birds' habitats in urban natural environments. Our research focuses on activating ecological spaces in urban areas that allow birds and citizens to live harmoniously through a collaborative design process. These spaces enhance the natural environment, foster community, and promote sustainable living. Research visualised birds' acoustic index dataset in a specific period to identify the characteristics of bird habitats in a particular urban space. Driven by the data visualisation findings, public events and activities are strategically designed to account for the dynamic interplay between birds and anthrophonic activities. This data-driven empirical research process provides an emerging practice and methodology for designers, urban science researchers and urban citizens to engage together in urban bird conservation.
