“…The growth of transport networks has been well studied in the literature (Cats 2017;Doménech 2009;Feng and Chen 2010;Xie and Levinson 2009;Yang and Chen 2018). However, only a few studies have investigated the historical accessibility (Fuhrer 2020;Kasraian et al 2016;Kim et al 2021;Li et al 2021;Tschopp, Fröhlich, and Axhausen 2005) due to the lack of historical records of transit schedules and services. Comparing historical access by different modes and different potential combinations has remained a research gap.…”

“…In order to evaluate territorial transformations and dynamics, it is possible to use different tools. One of these is represented by historical cartography, which can be integrated within the GIS environment [23,24]. The integrated approach can be used to obtain georeferenced information from old caldastral maps, topographic maps, military maps, aerial photos, and landscape and thematic maps, etc., and compare them with current digital geodata with high accuracy [25][26][27][28].…”

Multi-chronological examination of territory using GIScience and historical cartography may reveal a strategic tool for investigating changes in land use and the surrounding landscape structure. In this framework, the soil plays a key role in ecosystem evolution, since it governs all the mechanisms at the basis of vegetal growth, as well as all components of the total environment contributing to the formation of a rural landscape, including the balance of carbon dioxide. The present study was developed using a GIS approach applied to historical maps and aims to assess the environmental impact of land-use change, with particular attention to its effects on agricultural soil and atmospheric carbon dioxide balance. Thanks to a comparison between historical cartographic maps of different periods, this geospatial approach has enabled the assessment of the evolution of the rural land of the study area in the municipality of Ruoti (Basilicata Region—Southern Italy). This area, indeed, has been affected by deep land-use transformations, mainly caused by agricultural activities, with a resulting impact on the atmospheric CO2 balance. These transformations have been analyzed and quantified in order to contribute to the understanding on how the changes in land use for agricultural purposes have led to unforeseen changes in the rural landscape, ecosystems and the environment. The results showed that the greatest changes in land use were caused by the abandonment of large rural areas, resulting in the expansion of urban areas, a decrease in orchard and arable land (about less 25%), and an increase in woodland (more than 30%). These changes have resulted in a doubling in soil carbon fixation value. The final results have therefore confirmed that historical cartography within a GIS approach may decisively offer information useful for more sustainable agricultural activities, so as to reduce their negative contribution to climate change.

“…We integrated the public transit schedule information (e.g., operation hours and headway) from the NAVER news archive (https://newslibrary.naver.com), where users have accessed historical newspaper archive data since the 1920s. We also digitized the transit network, based on the Keijo Tram and Bus Route Map and, finally, we generated a General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) dataset for colonial Seoul in the 1930s, for a high-resolution accessibility analysis [16,35,[54][55][56][57][58]. The National Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP) GTFS builder was utilized to construct the GTFS dataset [35,54].…”

“…For a comprehensive evaluation, we computed food accessibility by multiple transport modes (e.g., public transit and walking), as well as by different time budgets (e.g., 15 minutes and 30 minutes) and considered various sets of food options-including rice, meat, seafood, general groceries, vegetables, and fruits-when measuring and comparing accessibility across neighborhoods in colonial Seoul. We took a novel digital humanities approach [35] by synthesizing historical materials (e.g., census and urban planning/transit maps) and modern quantitative/open-source analysis tools (e.g., r5r public transit analysis kit [36]) to compute the cumulative opportunity-based accessibility measures in 1930s colonial Seoul.…”

This study aimed to investigate the disparities and inequalities in food accessibility in colonial Seoul (Keijo [京城] in Japanese, and Gyeongseong [경성] in Korean) in the 1930s, using a geographic information system (GIS) and open-source transport analytics tools. We specifically focused on the unique social standing of people in the colonial era, namely colonial rulers (Japanese) vs. subjects (Koreans) and examined whether neighborhoods with larger proportions of colonial rulers had more access to food opportunities. For a comprehensive evaluation, we computed food accessibility by multiple transport modes (e.g., public transit and walking), as well as by different time budgets (e.g., 15 min and 30 min) and considered various sets of food options—including rice, meat, seafood, general groceries, vegetables, and fruits—when measuring and comparing accessibility across neighborhoods in colonial Seoul. We took a novel digital humanities approach by synthesizing historical materials and modern, open-source transport analysis tools to compute cumulative opportunity-based accessibility measures in 1930s colonial Seoul. The results revealed that Japanese-dominant neighborhoods had higher accessibility by both public transit and walking than Korean-dominant neighborhoods. The results further suggest that inequality and disparity in food accessibility is observed not only in contemporary society but also in the 1930s, indicating a historically rooted issue.
