This research addresses the spatial and structural organisation of vernacular settlements of Serra da Peneda and Laboreiro developed in the scope of European Project VerSus_ Lessons from Vernacular Heritage for Sustainable Architecture. The settlement model is analysed, emphasizing the relationships between spatial organisation of the territory and...

... main difference between the two settlement models, as described earlier is the inexistence, in the Castro Laboreiro case, of a permanent settlement. Although several facts point to the brandas , giving its characteristics, as the most important settlement. Here they have the bigger housing cluster and the most important productive area both in what agricultural and in cattle breeding concerns. On the other hand it’s on the inverneira that the most important common public spaces are placed. The main reasons for the above represented differences (Fig. 3) may reside on the geographic characteristics of both placements or on a different catch as to what livelihood concerns. Being that in Castro Laboreiro these communities would find in the high altitudes, where the branda is settled, better soils for agriculture and pasture, while in Peneda those conditions were met in the valley, where they had the inverneira . The extent of the plateaux of Castro Laboreiro would probably explain these ...

A core argument of several studies that focus on Greek vernacular settlements is that climate and landscape had a significant impact on their spatial distribution and growth. For the majority of these studies, this argument is primarily underpinned by qualitative observations at the geographical scale or by detailed microscale analyses of specific case studies. A nationwide analysis of the relation of vernacular settlement locations with key environmental factors has not yet been conducted in Greece. The present study seeks to cover this research gap by adopting a geospatial analysis approach. It utilises Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to relate the location of Greek vernacular settlements with the sea, the sun, the wind and the local geomorphology. The results of the study provide valuable insight on these relations and ultimately support the argument of the environmental responsiveness of vernacular settlements with quantitative data.
