Abstract: Land-use and land-cover change is a global phenomenon that poses great challenges to people, who often oppose changes in the familiar landscape (Foley et al., 2005). However, it needs to be recognized that humans have continuously shaped and intensively intervened in the landscape throughout history, creating the ‘Kulturlandschaft’ (cultural landscape) we see today, and leading to the scientific preoccupation with the ‘Anthropocene’ (Ellis, 2011). By enriching locations with digital content, this knowledge can be better conveyed, since so-called ‘augmented places’ not only convey information, but also allow the embodiment of what has been learned through increased immersion (Chang, Hou, Pan, Sung & Chang, 2015). We present an application that combines historical landscape change and the legacies of early mechanization through a mobile WebGIS designed with tourists in mind to convey information about historical land use in a playful way (http://gdi.geographie.uni-tuebingen.de/echaz/map.html). Historical map material for the region of the river Echaz in southwest Germany was digitized and georeferenced, organized in a framework of geoservices, and finally made available together with further content in a web app. Ultimately, the aims are to show alternatives to current land use and to address the variability of the landscape, and thus to achieve participation in and acceptance of landscape planning.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
