LANDSCAPE CHANGES IN COLENTINA RIVER BASIN (BETWEEN BUFTEA AND THE CONFLUENCE WITH DAMBOVITA) AS REFLECTED IN CARTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTS (1791-2000)
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Over the last 150 years many changes took place in the lower basin of Colentina river (between Buftea and the confluence with Dâmboviţa), changes also noted in the "Charta României Meridionale" (n.t. Southern Romanian Map) (1864), and in the topographic maps (scale 1: 100.000) published in 1906-1912, 1972, 1997, as well as in many auxiliary materials. For the processing of the maps was used the GIS program, the maps were geo-referenced in stereo projection version 1970, digitally superimposed on the same coordinates; then, from those maps the land surfaces were digitized. By means of overrimposing these maps we could highlight the effects of human pressure which were exerted differently over time.
