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

Description
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.
