Abstract

Drove roads bear testament to the social and economic relations of many Mediterranean countries over a prolonged period of time. However, scant attention has been given to the heritage value of these routes.This lack of attention is particularly significant in those historic urban landscapes that receive some type of protection as, in these cases, it would be possible to incorporate these trails as assets of heritage interest.This paper defines a methodology to reconstruct the routes of these thoroughfares in areas of heritage interest and systematically analyse the treatment of these roads by the local institutions. The article also proposes a GIS cartography to collect all the information that the authorities should compile in relation to drove roads and outlines design strategies to allow the correct insertion of these routes in urban historic landscapes. Finally, the research establishes a Web Map platform for the enhancement of these ancient thoroughfares.
