ABSTRACT

While it is widely known that socio-cultural transformations have a spatial impact on geographical areas, limited attention has been paid to mapping such transformations. This paper aims to explore how historical maps of land-use changes can be excellent tools for this purpose. The Lafkenmapu area in Chile, which has undergone critical socio-cultural transformations over the last five centuries, served as a case study. A total of five historical periods were described and translated into land-use change maps (pre-Hispanic; colonial; post-colonial; state consolidation; present). Non-cartographic (e.g. historical chronicles and publications) and cartographic sources (historical maps, aerial photography and satellite images) were integrated for each period to create a timeline map. Finally, some concluding remarks discuss the added value of the maps as a tool for a better understanding of the impact of socio-cultural transformations on land use and population distribution.

摘要

尽管众所周知，社会文化转变对地理区域具有空间影响，但对这种转变的绘制却很少关注。本文旨在探讨土地用途变化的历史地图如何成为实现此目的的绝佳工具。过去五个世纪以来，智利的拉夫肯马普地区经历了重要的社会文化变革，以此为案例研究。总共描述了五个历史时期，并将其翻译成土地用途变化图（西班牙裔之前；殖民地；殖民地之后；州合并；现在）。每个时期都将非制图（例如历史纪事和出版物）和制图资源（历史地图，航空摄影和卫星图像）整合在一起，以创建时间轴地图。最后，
