Abstract

The rural landscapes, as a result of action and interaction of anthropic and natural factors, constituting an essential component of the common cultural and natural heritage, are the identity foundation of a site. They have been often investigated in terms of their historical an civil value, as well as economic and social dimension, but they're also a visible sign of landscape shaping by human activities. In that sense the scenic value of the agricultural landscapes is increasingly seen as an element to be preserved, as evidenced by the closer attention in the current European policies to protect, manage and plan agri-ecosystem resources, biodiversity and traditional elements of landscape.The research proposed in the present paper, based on the latest studies in that field and recent European experience of landscape assessment, try to highlight the possibilities offered by the graphic representation in the process of knowledge and documentation of this particular heritage, focusing on a series of demonstrative applications on a valuable agricultural landscape such as that of Campania. From the interpretation of historical maps to the realization of infographic models and mapping, will be proposed hypothesis of reports of some exemplar agricultural landscapes.
