ABSTRACT

This work presents the outcomes of the geomorphological investigation and mapping carried out within the Cinque Terre National Park (38 km²), an outstanding example of a human-modified landscape. Over the centuries, the natural landscape of Cinque Terre has been almost completely modified by slope terracing for agricultural purposes. Extensive field surveys, topographic maps examination and aerial photographs interpretation have led to the production, within a GIS environment, of a new geomorphological map at 1:18,000 scale which outlines the main genesis and related landforms and deposits: (i) gravity-induced features, (ii) fluvial and runoff features, (iii) coastal features and (iv) anthropogenic features. Special attention has been given to the mapping of terraced slopes, which at present are extremely vulnerable to gravity-driven processes and running water because of extensive farmland abandonment. The output map is a fundamental basis for future activities of hazard assessment and zonation and the definition of land management strategies.

摘要

这项工作介绍了在五渔村国家公园（38 km ²），这是人为景观的杰出示例。在过去的几个世纪中，五渔村的自然景观几乎全部被用于农业目的的坡度梯田改造了。广泛的野外勘测，地形图检查和航拍照片解释导致在GIS环境下制作了1：18,000比例的新地貌图，该图概述了主要的成因及相关的地貌和矿床：（i）重力引起的特征，（ii）河流和径流特征，（iii）沿海特征和（iv）人为特征。对梯田斜坡的绘制给予了特别关注，由于大量的农田被抛弃，梯田斜坡目前极易受到重力驱动的过程和自来水的影响。
