4. Multi-temporal Dataset: aerial photos The aerial photos (1954, 1974 and 1990 surveys carried by “Istituto Geografico Militare Italiano”, I.G.M.I.) and the digital orthophotos (1994 and 2006) used are listed into the following table: Year Frame data Flight data Source 1954 Sheet n° 185 Format: Digital – 600dpi Height: 6000 m Scale: 1:35000 Istituto Geografico Militare (I.G.M.) http://www.igmi.org 1974 Sheet n° 185 Format: Analogical 23x23 cm Height: 2580 m Scale: 1:16000 1990 Sheet n° 185 Format: Digital – 600dpi Height: 6400 m Scale: 1:35000 1994 B/W Aerial Orthophoto Spatial resolution 1 m (only for consultation) National Cartographic Portal www.pcn.minambiente.it 2006 Color Aerial Orthophoto

8. LC changes (1954÷2004) In the following transition matrix are reported the statistics of changes, aggregated for each LC class. The values (in hectares) reported along the diagonal express the area of the unchanged LC types; the other cells contain the measurement of the areas that have bore a transformation from a LC type to another class. The column on the right sum up the LC areas at 1954, while the last row sum up the LC areas at 2004.
