Abstract

Today, GIS constitutes a fundamental geocomputational approach and tool in the analysis and mapping of past or present processes of the environment, territory, and landscape. GIS provides an opportunity to analyze spatial data using both multiscalar and diachronic approaches, and—quite importantly—in a digital and quantitative manner. This chapter covers the fundamentals of representing geospatial data in a digital form and the geospatial relational database. Methods for acquiring geospatial data and subsequently analyzing geospatial data are presented. Finally, the historical GIS concept is described, also by means of some examples.
