In this paper, we present a multitemporal landscape analysis in the abandoned mining district of Monteponi (South-western Sardinia). Of great historical and environmental value, the mining areas of Sardinia are now the first Geo-Mining Park in the world. According to the CORINE Land Cover protocol, we produced three land cover maps (1955, 1977 and 1998) at scale 1:10.000 through visual interpretation of aerial photographs. Next, the main trends in landscape change during the last fifty years were evaluated using transition matrix analysis and vegetation surveys.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a multitemporal landscape analysis in the abandoned mining district of Monteponi (South-western Sardinia). Of great historical and environmental value, the mining areas of Sardinia are now the first Geo-Mining Park in the world. According to the CORINE Land Cover protocol, we produced three land cover maps (1955, 1977 and 1998) at scale 1:10.000 through visual interpretation of aerial photographs. Next, the main trends in landscape change during the last fifty years were evaluated using transition matrix analysis and vegetation surveys.
