Social Behavior in Destination Open Spaces: Analysis and Visualization of Patterns Derived From Public Webcams

Abstract
This study presents a scale-up of research in open space use and social behavior using webcams located in destination open spaces (DOSs). Images for this study were scraped from the Archive of Many Outdoor Scenes (AMOS) database. An image annotation protocol was created and validated. Trained research assistants used a crowdsourcing platform to annotate 1000 images for individual and group size. Spatial clustering and time series analysis were utilized to visualize temporal and spatial patterns of social behavior in a DOS in relation to group size, time of day, and day of week. This method allowed analysis and visualization of social behavior in a DOS, potentially useful for tourism and open space research.
