An open geospatial database as a tool for geoheritage management at national scale: The case study of Greece

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica
Geological heritage or geoheritage is of at least equal significance to – and sometimes also interwoven with – cultural heritage. Hence, it holds the potential of scientific, educational, cultural, aesthetic, and touristic value.

Utilization of Geoheritage in Tourism Development

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015
AbstractRepresenting a sustainable form of tourism that focuses not only on teaching about nature but also on gaining experiences, Geotourism could be one of the most important sectors in today's tourism industry. The utilisation of the Pilis Mountains’ natural, cultural and tourist attractions lags behind the expected rate, albeit having several ...

A case for stronger integration of physical landscape processes in conservation science and practice

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract I argue that the dynamic nature of contemporary, landscape‐shaping (geomorphic) processes deserves more consideration in conservation science and practice. In an analysis of a sample of fundamental terms related to geomorphology and area‐based conservation in the Web of Science, I found that the terms co‐occurred in <2% of the analyzed entries

The geolocation of features on information surfaces and the use of the open and FAIR data principles in the mountain landscape domain and geoheritage

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 98-108, April/June 2024.
Abstract This note suggests that decimal latitude/longitude [dLL] locations should be used to identify features of interest, landforms, sample and investigations sites, in an ‘information landscape’ provided by the geomorphological literature. All the information associated with a labelled, or tagged, geolocation should be available for examination as ...

Geoheritage Value of Three Localities from Kislovodsk in the Southern Central Ciscaucasus: A Resource of Large Resort Area

Géosciences
Many geographical domains possess notable geological and geomorphological features, which are yet to be characterized comprehensively in terms of geoheritage. The present study focuses on the Kislovodsk area, which is situated in the southern part of the

Gullies and badlands of India: Genesis, geomorphology and land management

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 82-107, January 2024.
Studies on gully formation (red dots on map), badlands genesis (blue dots), gully and badlands mapping (aquamarine dots), their geomorphology (yellow dots), effects (green dots) and gully/badlands management (white dots) in India are discussed. While gully formation has largely been anthropogenically induced in India, her badlands have formed naturally
