Abstract
This dataset provides crowd-sourced and georeferenced information useful for the assessment of cultural ecosystem services in the Sierra Nevada Biosphere Reserve (southern Spain). Data were collected within the European project ECOPOTENTIAL focused on Earth observations of ecosystem services. The dataset comprises 778 records expressing the results of the content analysis of social media photos published in Flickr. Our dataset is illustrated in this data paper with density maps for different types of information.
Highlights
The modern human epoch is characterised by dynamic social-ecological changes, with local communities and individuals showing an important role in ecosystem integrity and health (Rands et al 2010)
We focused on the screening of photos from a popular social media platform: Flickr
We used the application programming interface (API) in Flickr to collect publicly available information published by the users
Summary
The modern human epoch is characterised by dynamic social-ecological changes, with local communities and individuals showing an important role in ecosystem integrity and health (Rands et al 2010) In this context, nature conservation mechanisms in protected areas have been increasingly re-shaped to accommodate social aspects of ecosystems (Chan et al 2006). Related to culturomics is the content analysis of digital photos posted and shared in social media platforms, such as Flickr (Richards and Friess 2015) These photos contain geographic and temporal information, allowing the mapping of cultural ecosystem services, at high spatial resolutions and for specific time periods in a straightforward and fast way (Vaz et al 2018). Coordinates 36°55'04"N and 37°14'25"N Latitude; 3°36'26"W and 2°35'41"W Longitude
