WP2-M2_PilotSiteMapping

This dataset contains a set of data related to processed information deriving from fieldwork activities and elaboration of archival information and literature (v. Cat 3, Cat 4, Cat 6 Deliverable D6.2, DMP) collected, accessed, and consulted during the WP1 and WP2 research activities. It constitutes a fundamental part that supports the Land-In-Pro spatial and territorial analysis in WP3, which encompasses activities aimed at informing a webGIS that visualises the transformations the selected context/site has undergone over the years in the pilot site, capturing its former and current conditions and configurations, whilst allowing the definition of indicators for the development of the Land-In-Pro Assessment Tool. The Land-In-Pro Pilot Site Mapping GIS project has been structured to ensure usability for both expert GIS users and non-specialist audiences. The project has been set up by using the open-source mobile application Qfield (v.3.4) during fieldwork, and QGIS (v.3.34 Prizren) during the data processing phase. Set in the Roma40 reference system and Gauss–Boaga cartographic projection (EPSG:3003), it is organised into three main layers (zoning, buildings_mapping, views_mapping) with attribute tables containing information available in both Italian and English languages. The buildings_demolished layer is a support vector layer used only for spatial reference: it provides indicative geometries to georeference demolished buildings. For optimal use of the project, it is recommended to add a base map (e.g., Google Satellite or Bing Maps Satellite Imagery) within QGIS. This provides a clear cartographic background that facilitates the orientation and interpretation of the mapped data. This dataset has been curated by Dr Federica Pompejano and Dr Sara Mauri.

If not otherwise indicated, images were acquired by researchers during fieldwork and mapping activities conducted under Land-In-Pro research project's WP2 and WP3 within the territorial context of the pilot site (Ferrania, Cairo Montenotte, Savona, Italy). The information contained in each form is the result of a combined processing of raw fieldwork data and the elaboration of heterogeneous historical sources, including: archival materials (currently under inventory process) from the Ferrania Film Museum in Cairo Montenotte (SV); municipal building records (Municipal Archive of Building Practices, Municipality of Cairo Montenotte, Savona); and historical cadastral maps (Cadastral Map Collection, State Archives of Savona). All consultation permits were previously acquired. Consulted archive materials are available for on-site consultation under each archive's rules and conditions.
