“…According to Paar and Blaik (2008) and Yang and Han (2020) mapping and georeferencing are fundamental tools for framing the site and defining the strategic lines of intervention [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Using View Ranger app, QGIS 2.18.1 and field surveys, we have analysed and mapped these following features: path system (routes); composition features and vegetation.…”

The paper illustrates a holistic approach for restoring historic gardens in urbanized contexts, from the historic analysis, to the knowledge of the present values, to the proposal of guidelines for restoration and future sustainable management. The Royal Park of Moncalieri Castle (Turin metropolitan area, north-west Italy) was used as a case study. The evaluation of the current structure, analysis of the botanical component and the recognition of historical permanences were performed. Following the criteria of specific interest (forestry, botanical and compositional) and historical importance, invasive species and specific critical issue, selected trees were described and mapped. Identifying the historical compositional elements, including a system of preferential paths and botanical species to be safeguarded should be considered the first step for future management planning process. Our results could be of interest both for methodological purposes and for the restoration of historical gardens’ planning and management. During the restoration process, different critical issues exist. In this context, combining historical and compositional values with today’s needs and problems is a scientific challenge that involve all the community. Historic parks and gardens must be considered as patches of the urban green infrastructure, able to provide a wide set of ecosystem services. Promoting the return of historic parks to the public fruition is of primary importance for the citizen well-being.

The interpretation of the English landscape garden between 1815 and 1840 through Xavier Kurten’s work in Piedmont (north-west Italy)

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Xavier Kurten (? -1840) was a Prussian landscape gardener who worked for the Savoy family in the Piedmont region of Italy in the first half of the XIX century. He designed or re-designed all royal parks, creating a specific style based on the English naturalistic garden approach. This research was performed with the aim of investigating the development of the English Landscape Garden in Italy. Historical documents relating to Kurten's biography and his work in Piedmont, including plans, were collected and analysed. We analyse and discuss the features that characterized his work: the relationship between the landscape -gardenhouse, the path system, the use of water, the vegetation, and the garden as a productive landscape. Kurten's style is compared with the projects of William Kent and Lancelot Capability Brown.

This study, which was conducted on the only surviving garden of the historic gardens in the city of Tabriz in Iran (i.e. the garden of El-Goli), closely examines its importance and place in the Iranian art of gardening. El-Goli garden is considered as an important place in the city by foreign and local tourists. However, in recent years, with the development of Tabriz and consequently the increased need for green space and recreational areas for citizens, this historic garden has become a public promenade and park. This paper examines the risks and threats posed by the change in land use. Since visitors are the main threats, a questionnaire was developed to identify their reasons for visiting the garden, their behaviour in the garden and how they use this historic garden. The questionnaire was completed by 100 visitors who were randomly selected. The table of frequency for each variable was prepared using SPSS software. Finally, the results show that most visitors not only are unaware of the historical value, but also come to the garden for other purposes such as recreation, leisure and use of facilities and so on. Thus, their attitudes and behaviours will pave the way for the destruction of the garden.
