Cover Story: In this article, we propose a semi-automatic method in a GIS environment for the design of soft mobility itineraries starting from a geodataset of historical literary quotations of places and landscapes of a region. We have taken as a case study some travel reports from the 19th century in the Dolomite valleys of Fiemme and Fassa (Italy). The point layer of literary quotations was integrated with the linear layer of forest roads and footpaths and with the point layer of bus stops to identify possible soft mobility itineraries to promote cultural and responsible tourism. The result of the implemented procedure is a GIS of walking routes that minimizes the distances and travel times to reach the places described by travelers of the past, using local buses as a means of support. The software employed in this study are QGIS and GRASS. View this paper
