1 Project Alpter Methodological cues for the analysis of the terraced slope in the pilot area Pianazzola-Bregaglia Data Sheet Analysis 1:5 Alice G. Dal Borgo - Human Geography Institute, State University of Milan Tecla Pagnoncelli - Earth Science Department, State University of Milan Trans-national Meeting 1-13 October 6 Goriska Brda (SLO)

2 Project Alpter Definition of selection criteria of the sub-areas for the 1:5 analysis through: Analysis of the geological and anthropic features of the pilot area Analysis of the geomorphological elements of the sub- area Pianazzola such as slope, exposure, geometry of terracing, state of conservation of walls and crops

3 Project Alpter Selected criteria for the choice of the sub-areas for the 1:5 analysis: Average slope Slope concavity convexity Altimetry Exposition - Aspect Land use

4 Project Alpter Selected sub-areas typologies for the 1:5 data sheet analysis: Active / abandoned vineyard Copsy / fruit chestnut Vineyard + pasture / forage Vineyard + self-consumption horticulture / orchard

5 Project Alpter Utilised analysis tools: Technical regional map Actual cadastral map Historic cadastral map Digital images Geomorphological map

6 Vineyard Orchard Final Products Forage/grass Chestnut Soil sampling and tests in situ

7 Final Products Data sheet 1:5 example: Cultivated thalweg

8 Paragraph B1 foundation laid on It could be useful to add the little box for the X beside the option. slope of walls (see (B1) STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GEOMETRICAL FEATURES) We introduced a value in degrees that varies from hypothetical (the wall is completely stretched towards the mountain) passing through 9 (the wall is perfectly vertical) to another hypothetical 18 (the wall is completely collapsed towards the valley). slope of stripes slope of stripes We introduced a value in degrees that varies from (the stripe is perfectly horizontal) to 9 (hypothetical completely vertical stripe).

9 Paragraph B3 water channel system overlapping with paths slope direction of stripes It could be useful to add the little box for the X beside the option; Channel systems are intended like natural or/and anthropic? Paragraph B access to the area (actual) It could be useful to add the little box for the X beside the option.

10 Paragraph D state of decay It could be useful to add the little box for the X beside the option. Paragraph E Property It could be useful to add the little box for the X beside the option.

12 (B1) STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GEOMETRICAL FEATURES: INTRODUCTION THE AIM OF THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS IS : - TO DEFINE STANDARD TYPOLOGIES OF TERRACING, USING SURVEYED GEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS - TO EVALUATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE STANDARD TYPOLOGIES AND THE: the GEOMORPHOLOGICAL SETTING and the LAND USE - TO VERIFY THE APPLIABILITY OF STANDARD TYPOLOGIES TO TERRACED AREAS LOCATED OUT OF THE PIANAZZOLA PILOT AREA.

13 (B1) STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GEOMETRICAL FEATURES: 3D SCHEME L = LENGTH OF THE STRIPE H = HEIGHT OF THE WALL β = SLOPE OF THE STRIPE α = SLOPE OF THE WALL* P = WIDTH OF THE STRIPE

14 (B1) STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GEOMETRICAL FAETURES: 3D SCHEME a = SLOPE OF THE WALL* Paragraph B - We introduced a value in degrees that varies from an hypothetical (the wall is completely stretched towards the mountain) passing through 9 (the wall is perfectly vertical) to another hypothetical 18 (the wall is completely collapsed towards the valley).
