“…Research by Koschke et al (2012) and Othman et al (2015) showed that the greatest potential to provide cultural ES Aesthetics and landscape character has deciduous and mixed forests with watercourses and water bodies, rugged relief as well as presence of architectural heritage objects. Lieskovský et al (2017) pointed out in their research the attractiveness of alpine meadows with high biodiversity that have high aesthetical value. These findings coincide with our results.…”

Cultural ecosystem services (ESs) are assessed less often than other ES; however, their importance for human well-being is crucial. In this article, we focused on an assessment of capacity and flow of three selected cultural ES – Recreation and tourism, Natural and cultural heritage and Aesthetics and landscape character. The capacity in terms of cultural ES focuses on the potential of landscape features to provide cultural ES, while flow provides us with data about areas where these cultural ES are consumed by people. We can assume that in areas with higher capacity to provide cultural ES, there is also a higher flow of these services. The areas with the highest capacity to provide selected cultural ES are natural areas, such as natural and semi-natural meadows, pastures, alpine areas and wetlands, and cultural-historical sites. Such areas in our study area are the Malá Fatra National Park and areas with dispersed settlement, which we rank as the most valuable parts of the microregion Terchovská Valley. There are also areas with the highest flow of cultural ES. To know the relationship between the capacity of the landscape to provide cultural ES and the flow of cultural ES in this study area could be useful in terms of landscape protection and management.

“…The method of observation was supposed to provide insight into the social environment, through direct observation with participation, as well as the creation or use of the following sources: oral, written, visual and biographical (see Riemann, 2006;Huber et al, 2017;Barnwell, Douglas, 2019). Lieskovský et al (2017) citing research Daily (1997), Jianija (2018), Fisher (2010) and Hamududu and Killingtveit (2012) emphasizes that -aesthetic value can be defined as the pleasure that people receive from scenic beauty provided by natural areas and landscapes. It is essential for people's well-being, for their physical and psychological health.…”

“…It is what the landscape offers us but it is sensed and appreciated subjectively. Lieskovský et al (2017) further emphasizes that studies on landscape aesthetics have been carried out since the 1960s. There are two ways to evaluate landscape beauty: subjective and objective approach.…”

The Trešnjevik smail river springs at the foot of the Trešnjevik pass (1573 m above sea level), formed by "Water Source" and "Smaller Watercourse". In the upper course, on the left side, it receives small streams from the localities of Garevina and Osoja, while in the middle course, it receives streams Lomovi 1 and Lomovi 2. It flows into Rajova (Rajović) Rijeka near alluvial plains Milićević and alluvial plains Rajović. In the middle course, the Trešnjevička River on the left side formed the alluvial plain of Novović, at the foot of Lomovi a small alluvial plain on the right and left side and the most widespread in the basin of Rajova (Rajovića) River -alluvial plains Milićević. In Trešnjevičkoj smail river their habitat in the river and found the brown trout, which at the present time there are less and less. There are many reasons for the poor state of the brown trout. The two most destructive techniques are dynamite hunting, followed by net hunting. On Trešnjevik environment and you can spend a great time -skiing, walking, doing sports or hunting and fishing, and the environment itself is a great choice for all kinds of recreation in nature, as well as for all lovers and admirers of almost untouched nature.

“…Flickr has been used for long time for analysing patterns and interest of visitation. The high level of representativeness of Flickr data is discussed in numerous studies [76,[150][151][152][153]. There is a low level of inaccuracy involved due to the known errors (atmospheric error, user clock error, orbital error, multi-path error, etc.)…”

The increase in geoheritage studies has secured recognition globally regarding the importance of abiotic natural features. Prominent in geoheritage screening practices follows a multicriteria assessment framework; however, the complexity of interest in values often causes decision making to overlook geoeducation, one of the primary facets of geosystem services. Auckland volcanic field in New Zealand stretches through the whole area of metropolitan Auckland, which helps preserve volcanic cones and their cultural heritage around its central business district (CBD). They are important sites for developing tourist activities. Geoeducation is becoming a significant factor for tourists and others visiting geomorphological features, but it cannot be achieved without sound planning. This paper investigates the use of big data (FlickR), Geopreservation Inventory, and Geographic Information System for identifying geoeducation capacity of tourist attractions. Through landform classification using the Topographic Position Index and integrated with geological and the inventory data, the underpromoted important geoeducation sites can be mapped and added to the spatial database Auckland Council uses for urban planning. The use of the Geoeducation Capacity Map can help resolve conflicts between the multiple objectives that a bicultural, metropolitan city council need to tackle in the planning of upgrading open spaces while battling of growing demand for land.
