Research Note
In this study we suggest a multidisciplinary approach to zoning based on G.I.S. technology. An example of thermal data elaboration (air temperature) combined with the information derived from the heat requirements of 22 varieties is presented, based on an experiment conducted in an area of the province of Benevento (Campania region, southern Italy). The method combines thermal informations with the Amerine-Winkler bioclimatic index, to obtain a subdivision of the considered territory into five areas, according their thermal suitability. Through the model it was possible to create a map of the optimum thermal suitability of the considered varieties in the various zones of the studied territory.
