The　critical　role　of　soundscapes　in　nurturing　place　attachment,　affecting　individuals　＇　emotional　ties　and　perceptions　of　specific　locations,　has　been　historically　undervalued.　In　this　case,　this　study　examined　the　profound　interrelationships　between　soundscapes　and　human　connections　to　place,　with　a　focus　on　the　contrasting　perspectives　of　residents　and　visitors.　Based　on　on　-site　surveys　on　Kulangsu　Island　involving　both　groups,　this　research　examined　the　difference　in　soundscape　perception　and　place　attachment　as　well　as　their　relationships　between　the　two　groups.　The　findings　revealed　that　residents　and　visitors　showed　a　shared　inclination　towards　natural　sounds　alongside　the　recognition　of　artificial　sounds,　while　a　significant　divide　emerged　in　the　evaluation　of　overall　soundscapes.　Residents　displayed　a　heightened　sense　of　place　attachment　compared　to　visitors,　characterized　by　feelings　of　belongingness　and　uniqueness.　Notably,　visitors　＇　place　attachment　was　closely　tied　to　various　soundscape　evaluation　indicators,　particularly　correlated　with　the　perception　of　artificial　and　mechanical　sounds.　In　contrast,　residents　＇　place　attachment　is　independent　of　soundscape　evaluations,　while　is　influenced　positively　by　the　preference　for　natural　sounds.　This　contrast　underscores　the　differing　perspectives　and　objectives　between　the　two　groups.　The　results　facilitate　a　deeper　understanding　of　the　pivotal　role　of　soundscapes　in　shaping　human-place　relationships,　informing　both　academic　discourse　and　practical　applications.
