From geodiversity assessment to geosite analysis – a GIS-aided workflow from the Bakony-Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark, Hungary

Geological Society Special Publication, 2023
Geodiversity and geosite assessments precede geoheritage and geotourism utilisation. The process first determines the geodiversity value of an area (based on geoscientific attributions) and then the geotourism potential of the available sites.
