Resumen
There is a well-established tradition of historical geographers using geographical information systems (GIS) to study historic landscapes and, particularly,
landscape transformation (see Cunfer 2005; Donahue 2007; Walford 2018). Such
studies tend to be based on quantitative sources and social science paradigms.
This tendency is unsurprising, as the GIS data model is well suited to structuring analyses of quantitative sources with attribute data in tabular form linked to
spatial data representing precisely located points, lines, or polygons. This chapter
presents a new approach to the study of how landscapes were perceived in the
past and how this changed over time. Implementing this approach requires a
very different integration of GIS from the one used in previous studies because
the sources involved are not quantitative: they are texts containing qualitative
descriptions and, as such, need to be analysed using a mix of approaches that
combine spatial analysis with close reading.
