Data, Maps & Landscape

I recently conducted an analysis of vantage points in London that are protected by the London View Management Framework (LVMF). Shown in red are locations of photos that contain references (title/tags/description) to view/vantage point/skyline/’over london’/’of london’ etc.

For some vantage points, a strong correlation exists between Flickr photos and the LVMF protected viewing location (Primrose Hill summit, for example). But not all vistas are equally well represented. Interestingly, some LVMF protected vantage points are not tagged with view-related references by the Flickr community (Westminster Pier, for example). The results will be part of a more detailed discussion in my final PhD thesis chapter.
