Design And Experimentation Of A GeographicInformation System Applied To AnEnvironmental Risk Area In The Iglesiente

1970 
The area studied, in southwestern Sardinia (Italy) has been subjected to intensive mining activity over years which left numerous excavations both underground and on the surface, dumps and settling basins for the disposal of mineral waste. Today, such eyesores, characterizing the landscape, cause direct and indirect risks for people, animals and biotic environment. The application of a GIS has enabled the connection and the analysis of the ecosystem, the mining landscape and building infrastructure, highlighting potential risks for the natural resources and population.
