Landscapes of Industrial Production: Documenting and Assessing 20^th Century (post)Industrial Landscapes as Resources

Land-In-Pro is the acronym of the project “Landscapes of Industrial Production: Documenting and Assessing 20th Century (post)Industrial Landscapes as Resources”, a research project that focuses on the tangible and intangible legacy left by the 20^th Century (de)industrialization processes in the landscape, envisioning it as a living testimony of the past and potential resource for the future.

Land-In-Pro identifies, investigates, interprets, and assesses (post)industrial landscapes and heritage as resources for local communities’ sustainable development, critically unfolding new perspectives on protection, conservation, and reuse strategies.

To start, select one of the following webGIS project:

Land-In-Pro | Ferrania Industrial Heritage (Cairo Montenotte), is the online version of the GIS/DBMS developed for the pilot site of Ferrania (Cairo Montenotte, Savona) chosen as a case study. It includes the photo survey and information collected during the pilot site mapping (Milestone M2), a summary of the ethnographic campaigns with citations, the mapped routes and locations of the go-along and static interviews, and a synthesis of their contents.
Land-In-Pro | Pilot Site Historic Industrial Landscape Classification, is the outcome of applying spatial and landscape analysis to the Ferrania pilot site. It introduces the Land-In-Pro classification for characterising the Historic Industrial Landscape defined by the historic industrial settlement system’s components, tested on Ferrania (Cairo Montenotte, Savona) and designed to be scalable and replicable.

Land-In-Pro is funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research, as part of the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), Mission 4 "Education and Research" - Component 2 "From research to business", Investment 1. 2 "Funding of projects presented by young researchers" and by the European Commission within the NextGenerationEU recovery package.

Land-In-Pro | Il patrimonio industriale di Ferrania (Cairo Montenotte) | Ferrania Industrial Heritage

Abstract

This dataset contains a set of data related to processed information deriving from fieldwork activities, elaboration of archival information and literature (v. Cat 3, Cat 4, Cat 6 Deliverable D6.2, DMP) collected, accessed, and consulted during WP1 and WP2 research activities, as well as from the elaboration of ethnographic data through Qualitative Analysis software (v. Cat 3, Cat 4, Cat 5 Deliverable D6.2, DMP) collected during WP2 research activities. Interviews have been carried out by Federica Pompejano (Università di Genova) and Dr. Sara Rocco and recorded by Marta Casanova (Università di Genova, Lab. MARSC) and Sara Mauri (Università di Genova). It constitutes a fundamental part that supports both the Land-In-Pro spatial and territorial analysis in WP3 and the critical and interpretative analysis in WP4. These activities inform the development of the Land-In-Pro webGIS, which visualises tangible and intangible aspects characterising the pilot site, including the transformations the selected context has undergone over time as well as past and present narratives and future aspirations, thus contributing to the definition of indicators and heritage values for the Land-In-Pro Assessment Tool. The Land-In-Pro webGIS is developed based on this QGIS project that has been structured to ensure usability for both expert GIS users and non-specialist audiences. The project has been set up using the open-source mobile application QField (v.3.4) during fieldwork and QGIS (v.3.34 Prizren) during the data processing phase. Set in the Roma40 reference system and Gauss–Boaga cartographic projection (EPSG:3003), it is organised into six main vectorial layers (WP3_M3_zoning; WP3_M3_demolished; WP3_M3_buildings; interview_points; interview_paths; interview_citation) containing information available in both Italian and English languages, as well as eight table layers (affm_h_photo_collection; affm_h_photo_fer; affm_inv_imm; land-in-pro_c_photo; affm_tab_dec_dt; affm_fondo_dt; Land-In-Pro_Interviews_Citations; Interview_Data_Collection). This dataset has been curated by Dr Federica Pompejano, Dr Sara Mauri and Dr Marta Casanova.

If not otherwise indicated, images were acquired by researchers during fieldwork activities conducted under the Land-In-Pro research project's WP2 and WP3 within the territorial context of the pilot site (Ferrania, Cairo Montenotte, Savona, Italy). The information contained in each form is the result of a combined processing of raw fieldwork data, the elaboration of ethnographic qualitative data, and the analysis of heterogeneous historical sources, including: archival materials (currently under inventory process) from the Ferrania Film Museum in Cairo Montenotte (SV); municipal building records (Municipal Archive of Building Practices, Municipality of Cairo Montenotte, Savona); and historical cadastral maps (Cadastral Map Collection, State Archives of Savona). All consultation permits were previously acquired. Consulted archive materials are available for on site consultation under each archive's rules and conditions. Interviews' summaries and quotations are provided exclusively for research and study purposes and any editorial changes are limited to clarity and text length without altering the meaning of the statements or the content. Participants are anonymised and consent for sharing audio-visual materials has been granted.

Land-In-Pro | Pilot Site Historical Industrial Landscape Classification / Classificazione Land-In-Pro per la caratterizzazione del paesaggio industriale storico

Abstract

This dataset documents the historical industrial landscape of the Land-In-Pro project's pilot site, Ferrania (Cairo Montenotte, Savona), and was developed as part of the WP3 research activities. It constitutes a central part of the project supporting the Land-In-Pro Assessment Tool (WP4), offering a comparative analysis of landscape components changes across three time-slices (1944, 1974, and 2024) and providing the basis for defining key indicators for the Assessment Tool. The development of the Land-In-Pro Pilot Site Historical Industrial Landscape Classification followed six main phases: 1) data collection; 2) georeferencing; 3) semi-automatic photo-interpretation using GRASS GIS, followed by manual refinement in QGIS informed by CORINE Land Cover and Land Use classes; 4) landscape visibility analysis to delineate the buffer zone for the Land-In-Pro Classification; 5) definition of Land-In-Pro Classes for the Historical Industrial Landscape Classification; 6) identification of landscape indicators to support the Land-In-Pro Assessment Tool. The project has been set up by using the open-source Grass-GISS (v.8.3) and QGIS (v.3.34 Prizren). Set in the Roma40 reference system and Gauss–Boaga cartographic projection (EPSG:3003), it is organised into four main layers (pilot_site_buffer_zone, land-in-pro_hilc_1944, land-in-pro_hilc_1974, land-in-pro_hilc_2024) with attribute tables containing information on the Land-In-Pro Classes in English and Italian. This dataset has been curated by Dr Federica Pompejano and Dr Sara Mauri.
