The Role of GIS in Evaluating Cartographic and Survey Evidence in the Determination of Historic and Cultural Landscapes
This paper will provide a generic background to the role of GIS in recording and re-creating landscapes based upon a range of documentary and cartographic material, with case studies derived from the analysis of historic, cultural, and post-industrial case studies. The paper will then address the specific use of GIS in analysing, evaluating, and presenting a range of historical landscape scenarios based upon research that has been conducted at the University of East London (England) and the University of Agriculture in Kraków (Poland).
