Present, railway stations are rather common in every cities, towns and villages. In this study, the field study method of soundscape in railway stations has been developed, aiming at finding out the relationships between users’ evaluation of sound environment and other factors in such spaces, as well as their similarities and differences with other urban public spaces. Based on sociological theory, questionnaires and simpling methods have been designed. Using these methods, soundscape surveys and measurement have been carried out in 4 railway stations in capital cities, China, considering both staffs and passengers. By analysing the data, some initial results are given in this paper for further research.
