The historical development of rural roads in the Basilicata region, Southern Italy
Original language description
The rural road network is an inseparable part of the landscape and a fundamental mean for agricultural and forest management. The aim of this study was to analyze the historical development of the rural road network in relation to its density and distribution. The evaluation of the rural road network development includes an assessment of whether and how the road layout changed in time. For this study, a part of the hydrographic basin of the Bradano River (Basilicata region, Southern Italy) was selected. The basin map was created in ArcGIS environment the single map layers from the years 1829, 1875, 1955 and 2013 were imported. Vector layers of rural road network and basin boundaries were created in each of the maps for the rural road network density calculation, defined by the ratio of the length of hauling roads (in meters) to the basin area (in hectares). For the calculation of its distribution in the study area, the methodology commonly used for forest road network evaluation - based on average geometrical skidding distance and theoretical skidding distance - was applied. The analysis shows that the roads were constructed gradually, with an abrupt increase after the Second World War.
