Vines and olives are two important and widespread traditional agricultural crops that are also connected to the Judeo–Christian–Muslim tradition. The goal of the research was to demonstrate the importance of using cartographical sources to obtain a more accurate and complete view of the past. To this end, the aims were: (1) to reconstruct the former agricultural land-use in three periods, 1873–1874, 1917, and 1943–1945; (2) to analyze the different spatial physical factors that could explain the spatial distribution of traditional agricultural landscapes; (3) to identify the changes which took place between the three reconstructed timestamps. The research employed different cartographic sources and the implemented analyses were conducted using GIS tools and methods. The results show that, in the past, the distribution of vines and olive groves greatly depended on several physical geographic factors (climate, slopes, direction). Nonetheless, human factors such as political instability, cultural and religious beliefs contributed as well. Moreover, this research showed how GIS has advanced historical geography research. Lastly, the research demonstrated that obtaining the most complete view of the past can be achieved by a combination of sources together with the use of GIS tools and methods.

从奥斯曼帝国时期到英国统治时期结束的犹太地区农业土地利用变化：一个空间分析

葡萄和橄榄是两种重要且广泛使用的传统农作物，也与犹太-基督教-穆斯林传统有关。该研究的目的是证明使用制图资源来获得更准确和完整的过去的重要性。为此，目标是：（1）在1873年至1874年，1917年和1943年至1945年的三个时期重建以前的农业土地利用；（2）分析可以解释传统农业景观空间分布的不同空间物理因素；（3）识别在三个重建的时间戳之间发生的变化。该研究采用了不同的制图资源，并且使用GIS工具和方法进行了分析。结果表明，过去，葡萄树和橄榄树的分布在很大程度上取决于几个物理地理因素（气候，坡度，方向）。尽管如此，诸如政治动荡，文化和宗教信仰等人为因素也是造成这种情况的原因。此外，这项研究还显示了GIS如何促进先进的历史地理学研究。最后，研究表明，通过结合各种来源以及使用GIS工具和方法，可以获得对过去最完整的了解。
