Abstract Visual conditions around Palaeolithic sites determine how the landscape was perceived by prehistoric hunter-gatherers. By placing site in different landscapes, visual foci were encoded locational characteristics of places. For Early Ahmarian Levant, it can be shown that differ significantly with combination large ungulate prey exploited at respective location. A Higuchi viewshed approa...

Finding the “right” sites for developing renewable energy systems (RES) is one of major challenges in planning strategies transitions. The visibility aspects such infrastructure are important factors that explain local opposition. Classical and viewshed analyses RES disregard people’s perceptions estimations new infrastructure. To address this void, we demonstrate an approach combines rated vis...

Globally, geodiversity and the associated ecosystem services it provides, are both under threat from anthropogenic pressures environmental changes. The UNESCO Global Geoparks Programme was established to create protected areas that not only preserve but enhance human wellbeing cultural heritage. Understanding role plays in providing such is necessary for holistic conservation priorities ensure ...

Ecosystem Services (ES) and Urban Services (US) influence place liveability in a comparable manner so that assessing landscape liveability considering both types of services can result effective for landscape planning and policy-making purposes. Considering that liveability is strongly dependent also on landscape perception by local population, stakeholder involvement results essential for a mo...

Abstract. In many parts of the world, motorized travel is one most common ways that people interact with their regional landscape. This study investigates how travelers' understandings place might be influenced by what landforms they can see from a vehicle. It uses cumulative viewshed analysis on Washington State (United States) highway network to determine which physical landscape features are...

Identification of terrain surface features can be done using approaches such as visual observation or remote sensing image processing. Accurate detection survey targets at the ground level primarily depends on human acuity sensor resolution, and then acquisition geometry (i.e. relative position orientation between surveyor terrain). Further, delimitation observer’s viewshed boundary sensor’s fo...
