Way to tell if a Db2 view is not being used any longer

We are looking for a solution to tell if a Db2 view is still used or not.
A request came to our team to rename a column in several tables. One of the tables have multiple view on it, and one of the view includes the column to be renamed. We cannot rename the column due to it being referenced in the view. The business cannot tell for sure, if the view is still in use. We can tell that the underlying table is being accessed regularly, but it can be direct table access or through any of the other views or aliases.

We have thousands of views with a similar situation. we cannot drop the views since the app area is unsure if the view is needed or not. A way to track last used on a view, synonym or alias would be an advantage in system cleanup
