We present a novel exploratory method combining line of sight visibility (viewshed analysis) and techniques from social network analysis to investigate archaeological data. At increasing distances different nodes are connected creating a set of networks, which are subsequently described using centrality measures and clustering coefficients. Networks with significant properties are examined in m...

A visual analysis is useful to assess potential impacts our surroundings. There has been tremendous progress toward the optimization, accuracy, and techniques of these analyses. Viewshed analyses are a common type analysis. The purpose this study was identify optimal trade-off between number viewpoints needed generate an accurate viewshed for given route. In study, we focused on identifying how...

BACKGROUND The influence of visual exposure to health-related behaviours, such as smoking, is increasingly acknowledged in the public health literature. Social contagion or normalisation is thought to operate through the visibility of those behaviours. There has been a lack of systematic and comprehensive approaches to quantifying visual exposure to these behaviours over a relatively large geog...
