SIG: histórico em perspectiva

Abstract

This is a book that brings together four distinct innovative approaches that share a common perspective on writing history, based on the use of historical Geographic Information Systems (Sistemas de Informações Geográficas – GIS). We consider that the use of this tool has allowed us to better understand the articulation between humans, space, and the environment, made possible by a new architecture of historical data. The use of new technologies can be related to other databases and information, such as landscape and physical geography data, opening up possibilities for the researcher to access new information, whether through the reading of spatial patterns in historical sources or through the conditions imposed by the physical and geographical aspects on that society, among other forms of reading.
