Selected major tourist cities and architectural sites, followed by expert and public interpretation of photographs.
Interpreted feedback through specific criteria and formulated directives based on findings.
Identified a misrepresentation of nearby surroundings of architectural sites based on distorted imagery.
Confirmed the hypothesis that constructed attractions are perceived differently than their actual contexts.
