A GIS Procedure to Assess Shoreline Changes over Time Using Multi-temporal Maps: An Analysis of a Sandy Shoreline in Southern Italy over the Last 100 Years

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to identify a methodology capable of assessing shoreline changes through a geomatic approach based on the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) software. The paper describes a case study that reports the evolution of a coastline over a period of more than 100 years using medium and large-scale metric maps available in different periods. In fact, the coastlines were obtained from the source maps of the Italian Cadastre (dated 1890), from numerical cartography available on the coastl… Show more

“…The coastal zone change is however defined quantitatively from observing the shoreline variation either inward or outward from the ocean body. The interplay between the physical features of this dynamic ecosystem and the driving factors are very important subject in studying the position variation of shorelines (Olali, 2015;Pepe et al, 2023). Coupled with the economic benefits generated from the coastal zone, it becomes important that they are monitored from time to time and the results are put into use for urban development and environmental management.…”

“…Shoreline changes have been studied using a variety of methods at local, regional and global scales with variant levels of accuracy. Some studies have utilized, remotely sensed satellite data (Bartsch et al, 2020;Popoola, 2022), historical maps (Pepe et al, 2023) as well as aerial photographs, LiDAR imagery and terrestrial/in-situ data. Recent advancements in the use of remote sensing techniques to monitor shoreline changes have shown promise in comparison to the traditional ground surveying method, which has proven to be relatively high in terms of cost, labour, and schedule (Klemas, 2013).…”
