Digital enclosure maps as starting point for the Danish Green Tripartite negotiations

Abstract

As part of several landscape research projects at SDU (University of Southern Denmark) in the time period 1998-2005, enclosure maps from the selected areas have been digitized (vectorized). This paper deals with the background of the maps and why they with their detailed scale can be a good starting point for planning of new landscapes. They can show as well land use as productivity of the soil around year 1800; they are the earliest maps in Denmark at a very small scale, which are digitally accesible.
