Since the concept of “Smart Earth” was put forward, countries have attached great importance to the research and introduction of smart tourism. With the increasing updating of information technology, the tourism industry is also constantly trying to transform intelligently, and the personalized recommendation of its travel routes has become the most important development in smart tourism, one of the hot topics. Tourism agencies create traditional travel itineraries based on the preferences of the majority of people and the characteristics of tourist attractions. These lines are primarily used for team travel. People’s expectations for travel route planning are increasing as their living standards rise, and the traditional route planning algorithm based on a static road network data model has struggled to describe the complex and changing scenic environment. The improved random walk algorithm suggests suitable travel routes to users, allowing for more accurate route recommendations and effectively addressing the problem of new route recommendation difficulty. This paper proposes a scenic tourist route planning algorithm using the grey entropy decision-making model and mobile computing. The content of the recommended results is more closely related to the target recommendation user’s tendency after personalized adjustment, which has a better effect on the personalization of the recommended results.

“…Geological provenance and body size can also help to infer trackmakers (Carrano and Wilson, 2001) but osteological fossils are almost absent from the Berriasian Huérteles Fm. (Hernández Medrano et al, 2008;Castanera et al, 2018). Indeed, the osteological crocodylomorph record of the Iberian Peninsula is almost absent in the Berriasian.…”

A review of the type material of the crocodylomorph ichnotaxonCrocodylopodus meijidei Fuentes Vidarte and Meijide Calvo, 2001 from the Berriasian of Spain is carried out. The review allows a better characterization of this type ichnotaxon and provides interesting new data on the candidate trackmakers and especially on their locomotion. Three different size classes possibly related to different ontogenetic states or sexual dimorphism of the same small to medium-sized crocodylomorph trackmaker are distinguished. Morphological differences within the sample such as digital impression lengths might be a consequence of differences in allometric growth, assuming similarities with extant crocodylians. Other differences are a consequence of variation in the morphological quality and mode of preservation across the sample. Some trackway features (intermediate-gauge trackways with high pace angulation, absence of tail, belly or drag marks) indicate the trackmakers, presumed neosuchian crocodylomorphs, were walking in a "high-walk" mode with a semi-erect posture at a moderate speed. The trackmaker may have walked with more erect limb posture and with the center of mass located more anteriorly than occurs in extant species, albeit not as erect as quadrupedal animals such as mammals or other extinct archosaurs including trackmakers of other crocodylomorph ichnotaxa (e.g., Batrachopus).

“…The increasing interest in the conservation of dinosaur tracksites is a global trend (Pérez-Lorente 2000; Cobos 2004; Marty et al 2004;García-Ramos and Piñuela Suárez 2006;Bates et al 2008;Santos et al 2008a;Vila et al 2008;Mampel et al 2009;Díaz-Martínez et al 2010a, b;Lockley et al 2012;Wings et al 2012;Enniouar et al 2014;García-Ortiz et al 2014;Al-Wosabi and Al-Aydrus 2015;Chabou et al 2015;Torcida Fernández-Baldor et al 2015;Alcalá et al 2016;Fuertes-Gutiérrez et al 2016;Castanera et al 2018). In general, the problems related with geosite management in these different countries resemble the difficulties found in Passagem das Pedras geosite.…”

The Rio do Peixe basin, which is developed during the Lower Cretaceous, consists of the Sousa, Uiraúna-Brejo das Freiras, Pombal and Vertentes sub-basins. They have abundant ichnofauna represented by dinosaur tracks of theropods, sauropods and ornithopods, these being the main objects of geological heritage in the region. The majority of palaeontological sites are found in the Sousa basin and the most important geosite in terms of distribution of fossil footprints is Passagem das Pedras (Municipality of Sousa-Sousa basin). In 1992, this area was classified as the BValley of the Dinosaurs Natural Monument^and initially had high-quality infrastructure and trained tour guides; however, following a period of neglect, the local infrastructure became precarious. In 2014, revitalization of the museum, kiosks and walkways in Valley was performed; however, there are inefficient measures to protect the dinosaur footprints from human and natural threats. Thus, 500 interviews with the urban and rural population of Sousa in addition to traders and teachers were done, seeking public understanding of geoconservation strategies at the Passagem das Pedras geosite. Critical analysis of the results was performed as a contribution to the proposal for the Rio do Peixe Geopark. The perception is that the geoconservation strategies are not effective in protecting the Passagem das Pedras geosite or in raising the Sousa population's awareness as to the importance of geological heritage. The other palaeontological sites of the Sousa basin are also quite vulnerable and with deteriorating geological elements. Therefore, the region currently has low potential to become a geopark.
