Abstract

In this paper, we address the task of identifying the cultural relatedness of countries by extracting country specific behavioural patterns from social media. In a case study, publicly shared pictures annotated with spatial information are utilized to extract characteristic travel behaviour of different people in order to find areas of similar customs.
