'''Talasani''' ({{IPA|fr|talazani}}) is a rural [[Communes of France|commune]] and village on the eastern seaboard of [[Corsica]], in the [[Haute-Corse]] [[Departments of France|department]] of [[France]]. The area has a very low population density and mainly comprises forests and farmland. As a coastal municipality, Talasani enforces strict urban planning provisions in order to preserve the ecological balance of the coast.
== Geography == Talasani is a village on the eastern coast of Corsica, part of the [[Cantons of France|canton]] of [[Canton of Casinca-Fumalto|Casinca-Fumalto]]. It was once part of the ''piève'', or religious district, of ''[[Tavagna]]''.

=== Land use === [[File:2B319-Talasani-Sols.png|thumb|Map of land use in Talasani, 2018.]] According to the European database of biophysical land use, [[Coordination of Information on the Environment|Corine Land Cover (CLC)]], Talasani's land use consists mostly of forests and semi-natural environments (75.5% in 2018). This proportion has changed very little since 1990 (75.4%). The detailed breakdown in 2018 is as follows: shrub and/or herbaceous vegetation (46.6%), forests (28.9%), heterogeneous agricultural areas (12.2%), urbanized areas (8.3%), permanent crops (3.9%), artificial green spaces, non-agricultural (0.1%), maritime waters (0.1%).<ref>{{Cite web|title=CORINE Land Cover {{!}} Données et études statistiques|url=https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/corine-land-cover-0|access-date=2021-12-24|website=www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr}}</ref>
[[Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière|IGN]] also provides an online tool to compare the evolution over time of land use in the municipality (or in territories at different scales). Maps or aerial photos are available depicting multiple eras: the Cassini map (eighteenth century), the staff map (1820-1866), and the current period (1950 to today).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Remonter le temps|url=https://remonterletemps.ign.fr/comparer/basic?x=%209.48055555556&y=%2042.4088888889&z=14&layer1=GEOGRAPHICALGRIDSYSTEMS.MAPS.SCAN-EXPRESS.STANDARD&layer2=GEOGRAPHICALGRIDSYSTEMS.MAPS.SCAN50.1950&mode=vSlider|access-date=2021-12-24|website=remonterletemps.ign.fr}}</ref>
