Sažetak
The 18 century Venetian cadastral records, although applying different methodologies, enable to trace and reconstruct the elements of natural environment (relief, soil, vegetation, water sources), as well as to trace the elements of human environment in Central Dalmatia, precisely the cultural landscape (settlements, rural landscape), in particular the positioning of settlements in relation to the defined elements of natural environment. Those relations enable to determine the way of life and the subsistence of the population of the time and to trace the environmental change. Depending on the methodology of two main 18 century cadastral surveys in Dalmatia it is possible, more or less, to trace the process of settling and migration. In spite of the relative poverty of the cadastral content, particulatly in relation to some other, more or less synchronous cadastral records, the Grimani cadatre enable the reconstruction of the basic traits of the geographic environment of the time. Moreover, comparing to some other, present-day records, it is possible to trace the changes that occured in the course of the centuries, regarding the geographic environment itself, as well as the way of life, that are beyond any doubt highly interrelated.
