How a landscape is seen and heard

Frank Waisman, David LU (2024) ARKM22 20241
Historical Archaeology
Abstract (Swedish)
This is a thesis exploring and comparing four different GIS-based viewscape analysis
methods, as well as delving into GIS-based soundscape both in practice and theory. The use
of these methods leads to a discussion about their utility for gaining new knowledge about
past landscapes and possibilities to create phenomenological studies using GIS-based
software.
The case study is the old Bosebo church, which is currently located in the museum Kulturen
in Lund, Sweden. The church was moved there in 1894 rather than being torn down and
destroyed. Through 3D-scanning and digital recreation of both the church model and
landscape, the model was placed in its original spot in the landscape to be used as the case
study of the research.

First is a thorough walkthrough of the theories and methods, both the ones being tested as
well as the ones used to create the models, after which follows a presentation of the results in
the form of seven maps, each labeled for what is shown on the map. Afterwards, a discussion
based on the research questions is presented to see what the maps mean for the research
questions guiding the thesis. The questions posed treat what new knowledge is gained of the
church in the landscape, which of the methods tested is proven the most adequate as well as
possibilities to use phenomenological theory in GIS-based research. (Less)
