Abstract

The article focuses on the influence of music on mood in various public spaces, highlighting a review of existing literature on this topic. It categorizes public spaces into six main types: Recreational and Cultural, Spiritual and Reflective, Commercial and Hospitality, Work-Related and Educational, Transportational and Transitional, and Healthcare, Wellness, and Safety. The review indicates that music can serve as an emotional regulator, affecting mood based on factors such as location and time of day, while also prompting cognitive and behavioral changes. Additionally, it identifies gaps in the literature and suggests areas for future research, including the effects of different musical genres and potential negative impacts of music in public settings.
