Viewscapes—the 3-dimensional portions of landscapes with which people form a connection—are one way to quantify visual character and assess how those aesthetic amenities interact with other drivers to shape exurban development. The extent to which a landscape changes over time due to anthropogenic and natural processes—such as new housing development or wildfire—has largely been overlooked in models of development that include viewscape metrics. In this study, we use an event-history analysis approach to model the relationship between known drivers, including viewscape metrics (area, land cover, terrain complexity and visible neighbors), and the timing of exurban development of 1,807 single-family residences in Boulder County, Colorado, USA between 1990 and 2020. Most viewscape metrics’ effects on the timing of new home builds varied by 5-year time interval, underscoring the constraints of temporally static development models. We found that houses were more likely to be located close to major roads, and with views of less complex terrain. Larger views and fewer visible neighbors emerged as predictors of development over the study period. In the early-2000s, developed sites favored sunnier aspects, and views that avoided burn scars and developed areas. After 2010, new homes sites avoided views of developed areas and favored forested views. Insight into changing relationships between viewscapes and exurban housing development can highlight the effects of landscape change on visual quality and the trade-offs inherent in housing location decisions. Exploring how viewscape drivers and their effects on development change over time offers land managers and policymakers a more detailed picture of the amenity factors shaping exurban development.}, journal={LANDSCAPE AND URBAN PLANNING}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Inglis, Nicole C. and Vukomanovic, Jelena and Petrasova, Anna and Meentemeyer, Ross K.}, year={2023}, month={Oct} }

Recent advances in line-of-sight computation and geographic information systems (GIS) have propelled VVQ research into the realm of high performance computing via a cache of geospatial tools accessible to a broad range of research disciplines. However, in the disciplines that use VVQ analysis most (archaeology, architecture, geosciences and planning), methods and terminology can vary markedly, which may encumber interdisciplinary progress. A multidisciplinary systematic review of past VVQ research is timely to assess past efforts and effectively advance the field. In this study, we summarize the state of VVQ research in a systematic review of peer-reviewed publications spanning the past two decades. Our search yielded 528 total studies, 176 of which we reviewed in depth. VVQ analysis in peer-reviewed research increased 21-fold in the last 20 years, applied primarily in archaeology and natural resources research. We found that methods, tools and study designs varied across disciplines and scales. Research disproportionately represented the Global North and primarily employed medium resolution bare-earth elevation models, despite their known limitations. We propose a framework for standardized reporting of methods that emphasizes cross-disciplinary collaboration to propel visibility research into the future.}, journal={LANDSCAPE AND URBAN PLANNING}, author={Inglis, Nicole C. and Vukomanovic, Jelena and Costanza, Jennifer and Singh, Kunwar K.}, year={2022}, month={Aug} }
