CATGIS is an approach to the knowledge of the physical and human characteristics of Italy as a result of the pluriannual research project "Dissemination and experimentation of the cartography, remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) as a educational technology applied to the territorial and environmental study". The aim was to developed a prototype for a new didactic methodology, far from the mnemonic teaching of the geography opened to a different educational graduation (school, university) and also to the technician refreshing. CATGIS is easily opened to anyone by web site, with a simple surf, with accurate scientific contents and good quality imagines by which you can quickly download documents in pdf format. The research was born to join the informatic dissemination in geography teaching ti the knowledge of the tools and method to reading the landscape and analyzing the territorial evolutions in its urban and rural reality, in order to a correct estimation of the conditions and the characteristic of the ecosystem. The CATGIS website (http://www.dista.agrsci.unibo.it/catgis) is organized into 5 scientific and humanistic themes (acrtography, aerial photogrammetry, remote sensing, census data, GIS), opened by web link in sections. The GIS topic is interactive and present an informatics reading of the Italian territory, divided into Regions trough the analysis of 5 geographical topics: morphology, hydrography, land use, city boundaries and landscape units. It promotes a global approach to the environmental problems, acquiring critical knowledge by geographical reading of land, studying relationships berween human and natural envrironment; knowing and using new technologies and the web site production to support training, diffusion and data interchanges with interested didactic users.

Abstract
CATGIS is an approach to the knowledge of the physical and human characteristics of Italy as a result of the pluriannual research project "Dissemination and experimentation of the cartography, remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) as a educational technology applied to the territorial and environmental study". The aim was to developed a prototype for a new didactic methodology, far from the mnemonic teaching of the geography opened to a different educational graduation (school, university) and also to the technician refreshing. CATGIS is easily opened to anyone by web site, with a simple surf, with accurate scientific contents and good quality imagines by which you can quickly download documents in pdf format. The research was born to join the informatic dissemination in geography teaching ti the knowledge of the tools and method to reading the landscape and analyzing the territorial evolutions in its urban and rural reality, in order to a correct estimation of the conditions and the characteristic of the ecosystem. The CATGIS website (http://www.dista.agrsci.unibo.it/catgis) is organized into 5 scientific and humanistic themes (acrtography, aerial photogrammetry, remote sensing, census data, GIS), opened by web link in sections. The GIS topic is interactive and present an informatics reading of the Italian territory, divided into Regions trough the analysis of 5 geographical topics: morphology, hydrography, land use, city boundaries and landscape units. It promotes a global approach to the environmental problems, acquiring critical knowledge by geographical reading of land, studying relationships berween human and natural envrironment; knowing and using new technologies and the web site production to support training, diffusion and data interchanges with interested didactic users.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
