Metadata

Methodology:: Panoramio is a geolocation-oriented photo sharing mashup owned by Google. Accepted photos uploaded to the site can be accessed as a layer in Google Earth and Google Maps, with new photos being added at the end of every month. It is possible to access to the Panoramio photos database through a web API. The aim of this test analysis has been to link the number and density of photos taken with the N2000 network of protected sites. The different methodological steps carried out are detailed below:
Step 1: Downloading from Panoramio the photos database by different geographical windows within the study area*. Single photos details are obtained, including its location (latitude, longitude), owner, title or URL, amongst other.
Step 2: Merging of all photo database in one single file.
Step 3: Converting the photo database into a GIS point layer.
Step 4: Overlaying the photo point layer with the European Reference Grid at 1 km2
