“…It is evident in [88,89], describing and mapping anthropogenic landforms in the municipality of João Pessoa (Brazil), similar to the Italian ones, and in [90] (Vienna, VA , USA), using multitemporal topographic data (stereo aerial and ortho-imagery) for anthropogenic erosion and accumulation detection. Numerous other examples are available from Poland [91][92][93][94][95][96]. The proposal again, and in almost all cities around the world of the same landforms, offers the possibility of applying the Italian approach to cities of recent evolution or sprawling ones.…”

Cities all over the world have developed on different geological-geomorphological substrates. Different kinds of human activities have operated for millennia as geomorphic agents, generating numerous and various erosion landforms and huge anthropogenic deposits. Considering the increasing demand for land and the expansion of the built-up areas involving and disturbing any kind of natural system inside and surrounding the actual urban areas, it is not negligible how important the dynamics of the urban environment and its physical evolution are. In this context, this manuscript addresses insights into eight case studies of urban geomorphological analyses of cities in Italy, Greece, and Brazil. The studies are based on surveying and mapping geomorphological processes and landforms in urban areas, supporting both geo-hazard assessment, historical evolution, and paleomorphologies, as well as disseminating knowledge of urban geoheritage and educating about the anthropogenic impact on urban sustainability. We hypothesize that urban geomorphological analysis of several case studies addresses the physical environment of modern cities in a multi-temporal, multidisciplinary, and critical way concerning global changes. Thus, this study aims to illustrate and propose a novel approach to urban geomorphological investigation as a model for the understanding and planning of the physical urban environment on a European and global scale.

“…Kubiak-Wójcicka et al (2021) used them in the analysis of changes in the surface of lakes, Ławniczak and Kubiak (2016) in studies of changes in the course of the lakes' shoreline. Molewski (2021) reconstructed the morphology of the area in Toruń on the basis of maps, Jancewicz et al (2021) analysed landform changes in the urban landscape as a result of industrial activities, while Lieskovský et al (2018) changes in land use in the Carpathian region. For the research area, these are the first maps that meet the criteria of topographic maps, and the first version is from 1893.…”

The aim of the research was to analyse land use changes and to develop a coherent base on the basis of available cartographic source materials – archival and contemporary topographic maps and spatial databases. The presented research is a continuation of works related to the cartographic visualization of changes in the distribution of the settlement network in the Noteć Forest – one of the largest forest complexes in Poland. The analysis was performed for nine villages together with their immediate surroundings, located in this area. The total surface area of lands covered by the study was 32,468 km2. Cartographic source materials were collected for selected areas. The archival maps were georeferenced and then digitized. In this way, the data has been transformed into a homogeneous system enabling further comparisons and analyses in an automated manner. Geodetic software (C-Geo), GIS (MapInfo, QGIS) and GNSS technology were used in the work. Cartographic sources can be successfully used for spatial analyses and environmental studies, providing reliable and available quantitative data. This type of research is important because it shows the changes taking place in the natural environment and can be used in works related to spatial planning, landscape ecology and social research.
