Human
occupation over the last four millennia has participated with geomorphic
changes in modifying the alluvial plains surface in Mediterranean landscapes.
The Southern Venetian plain (north-eastern Italy), is a good example of a long
interaction between man and the environment since the Bronze Age. This
presentation will demonstrate the application of a geo-historical
approach that combines the merits of geographical, geomorphological and
historical perspectives and GIScience techniques in the study of the evolution
of the relationship between man and environment of this alluvial plain. Case
studies from different times (Roman Age, Modern Age, and Contemporary Age) will
be presented to understand the main forces, both natural and anthropogenic,
that have shaped the rural landscape in the Southern alluvial plain during the
last two millennia.
