The use of crowdsourced and georeferenced photography to aid in visual resource planning and conservation
-
The advent of Web 2.0 and the growth of social media platforms have fostered an environment
for the documentation and sharing of landscape imagery. In addition to looking at the site scale,
using these big data allows for visual landscape assessment at the regional scale. The onset of Marcellus shale gas development in the state of Pennsylvania concurrent with the
rapidly widening availability of crowd-sourced citizen photography has provided a valuable
opportunity to study crowdsourced and georeferenced photography as an aid in visual resource
conservation design and planning. As Trombulak and Baldwin (2010) outline, the goals for this
work include identifying spatially explicit measures of change in the landscape, being able to
predict spatially explicit threats to the landscape, recognizing sites within the region that are
important or irreplaceable, and prioritizing areas for conservation action to address pressures
and preserve/conserve exceptional sites in the future.

Integrating Visual and Cultural Resource Evaluation and Impact Assessment for Landscape Conservation Design and Planning
-
While there is an increased need for cultural resource conservation and management in
North America, there are few approaches that provide robust integration and combined assessment
of visual and cultural resources. Determining the scenic value of important views and identifying
potential risk for loss of that view are core components needed to design protection preserving
scenic quality and the cultural resources contributing to scenic value and overall sense of place.
