Poznań, a city in central-western Poland, is located in the lowland region but has no less attractive geomorphological and human history. It was here that Poland was born at the end of the tenth century. The city's location is connected with the meridian course of the Warta River valley. In contrast, in the northern part of the city, there is a vast area of the frontal moraines of the Poznań Phase of the Weichselian Glaciation. Against the backdrop of the geomorphological development of the city, the article presents the existing geosites, classified as urban geosites. The present geosites include three lapidaries with Scandinavian postglacial erratics, one of them also with stoneware, a fragment of a frontal push moraine and impact craters. Besides, three locations of proposed geosites with rich geomorphological and/or human history were identified. These are as follows: the peat bog located in the northern part of the city, defence ramparts as exhumed anthropogenic forms, and the Warta River valley. The existing and proposed geosites in Poznań were evaluated in three ways. In general, it should be assumed that the proposed new geosites are higher ranked than the current ones.

“…Hence, numerous assessment methods of geosites have been proposed up to now, differing in criteria, weights and calculation methods of final score (e.g. : Alexandrowicz, 1989;Nita J., Nita M., 1994;Reynard et al, 2007;Pereira et al, 2007;Migoń, Sobczyk, 2009;Bruschi et al, 2011;Fassoulas et al, 2012;Rocha et al, 2014).…”

“…During the last two decades, the quality of geomorphological heritage has been considered in terms of topics such as environmental impact assessment (Rivas et al, 1997;Coratza & Giusti, 2005, Geneletti & Dawa, 2009, natural heritage sites (Serrano & Gonzalez Trueba, 2005), the promotion of tourism (Pralong, 2005), the management of natural parks and geoparks (Pereira et al, 2007, Zouros, 2007, scientific evaluation and understanding of the tourist (Comanescu et al, 2011) and the geological heritage (Rocha et al, 2014). Certainly, the used geomorphologic methods should be adapted to the system, process and geomorphological phenomena of the desired location and have features that could explain geomorphic characteristics.…”

Abstract:With complex geology and different geomorphology structure, climatic diversity, numerous islands and spiral coastline, Iran offers great variety of natural landscapes. This paper discusses a comparative assessment of geomorphosites located within the Poldokhtar area using Zouros and Comanescu methods. In this study based on field trips, Geomorphological values were evaluated and compared using six criteria in Zouros method and five criteria in Comanescu method. After identifying 37 geomorphosites in the region, 13 were selected based on the principal characteristics and added value. The assessment results showed that geomorphosites of this region can be divided into two main groups. The first groups are based on Comanescu method which consisted of five sites with high total value and the second group consists of eight sites with average value. In Zouros method the first group consisted of four sites with high value and the second groups are nine sites with average value. In order to protect identified geomorphosites and ensure appropriate management, the establishment of Seymare protected area is proposed. This proposal consists of a collection of diverse and spectacular geomorphosites.
