The diagrams illustrate the spatial transformation of an area following the erection of a new hydroelectric power dam between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, the area witnessed massive changes over two decades, shifting from a rural, farming village to a more modernized, fishing-based region. A striking feature included the expansion of a lake, the construction of new facilities and buildings, along with the flattening of some mountains.
In 1980, a narrow river stretching from north to east served as a division between two areas, one reserved for agriculture, and the other was primarily occupied by rare species. To the east of the river was a vast region reserved for irrigated farmland, surrounded mainly by mountains on both sides. Located on the easternmost part of the region was a small village where local people lived. Moreover, while exotic plants and animals mostly inhabited directly opposite the farmland to the west of the lake, ancient structures were situated further north, near a forest.
Fast forward to 2000, the river was significantly expanded to accommodate boats and fishing areas. Notably, the irrigated farmland was eliminated, while the old village moved to the southern part of the river, giving way to a newly built hotel. In the south of the region, new electricity systems were erected alongside the river. Additionally, to the north of it, a hydroelectric dam connecting the two sides of the mountains across the river was introduced. Furthermore, many old sites were demolished after 20 years, including ancient buildings, the forest, and the area once occupied by rare species.
