Land Use Change and Socio-Economic Evaluation in São Jorge Island (Between 15th and 20th Century)
The agenda explain the historical evolution of land uses in São Jorge Island (Azores- Portugal) between 15th-20th century.The economic exploitation of the island space prosecuted itself in simultaneous with his colony, one form to guarantee the auto supplying of the populations. First we assess the...
