Abstract :
Val Malenco represents a typical, complex landscape of the North Italian Alps. It is chosen as a test site for studies on the integrated application of DTM, digital map information and satellite data for land cover mapping to be used for regional planning and hydrological modelling. The paper concentrates on land cover mapping
