ABSTRACT
A geographical information system (GIS) is more than a sophisticated software program; it is a powerful tool that can be used effectively in geocultural landscape research. Geocultural landscape researchers analyse the historical content of a present landscape and the landscape evolution over time; they strive to reconstruct historical states of a landscape, using different sources, methods and techniques developed in various disciplines such as archaeology, geography, history, planning sciences, etc. as well as in related auxiliary sciences. The general interest of this contribution is the application of geoinformation technology in the geocultural landscape research.
