“…The educational and tourist/recreation uses of geoheritage require a strong investment by the geopark management structure. The geopark staff should include experts on geosciences education and interpretation, in order to produce solid contents that support the educational and interpretative programmes of the geopark (Brilha, 2009;Buhay and Best, 2015;Cayla and Martin, 2018;Henriques et al, 2012;Macadam, 2018;Newsome and Dowling, 2018;Zouros et al, 2011). It is commonly accepted that, in many countries, the formal education on geosciences in schools is very deficient, resulting in societies with very low awareness for geoscientific topics (Stewart and Nield, 2013;Van Loon, 2008;Vasconcelos, 2016).…”

“…But the issue was raised much earlier, since geotourism was first formally defined and its linkages with geoconservation were recognized (Hose 1995(Hose , 2012. Recent developments seem to focus on technological innovations, and their successful application (Cayla 2014;Martin 2014;Aldighieri et al 2016;Cayla and Martin 2018) rather than on conceptual issues. In this paper, we bring the ergodic principle back into spotlight.…”

“…Among outdoor services, interpretation panels remain the most popular, despite a variety of problems associated with their design, erection and maintenance (Hughes and Ballantyne 2010;Macadam 2018). Nowadays, options to replace panels by mobile applications are explored as, despite various technical and perceptual problems, they are less intrusive (Reynard et al 2015;Cayla and Martin 2018). However, the key issue is what should be the interpretation content provided at geosites, whether by a panel or a Web-based resource.…”

From Plateau to Plain—Using Space-for-Time Substitution in Geoheritage Interpretation, Elbsandsteingebirge, Germany

et al. 2018

The southern part of Elbsandsteingebirge in east Germany represents tableland morphology, with more than a dozen of residual tabular hills-plateaus, mesas and buttes. Their morphological diversity and close proximity to one another create an opportunity to use the ergodic principle (i.e. space-for-time substitution) as a framework for geoheritage interpretation and the development of a thematic geotourist trail. The virtual trail proposed here links eight localities, from the largest and least dissected plateau remnant (Grosser Zschirnstein) to the scatter of allochthonous boulders (Zeisighübel), claiming that they may illustrate the sequential development of erosional landforms in sandstone tablelands. It is argued that ergodic principle is a powerful explanatory tool designed for the general public and more advanced visitors, even though such an approach may not be an accurate reflection of the actual landscape evolution and does not take into account the rates of landform change. The concept is applicable to other localities, and there is usually an option to add further elements (sites) to the existing routes.

“…Aside from the definitions surrounding the subjects of geotourism, the real challenge is how to communicate this heritage and most of all, how to make it a recreational activity. A huge amount of scientific papers and research activities are devoted to these methods and represent the main vehicle of dissemination for cultural geoheritage [18,19]. This tendency has had exponential growth since 2001 [20].…”

“Perugia Upside-Down”: A Multimedia Exhibition in Umbria (Central Italy) for Improving Geoheritage and Geotourism in Urban Areas

Multimedia materials represent a promising approach to the promotion of geoheritage. Despite geology being normally associated with natural environments, new tendencies are noted towards better knowledge of the “geological reason” for the selection of a location and the development of urban settlements. The urban environment is, in fact, a perfect laboratory for opening the scientific topics to a broad audience. In this paper, the experience of a geological exhibition organized in the city of Perugia (Umbria, central Italy) is discussed, highlighting the SECRET (SEe and CREaTe) for creating an effective dissemination activity. Panels, interactive tools, laboratories, and trekking tours outside the museum are the main activities, which hosted more than eight thousand visitors in a few months. Moreover, the exhibition was the starting point for ongoing projects on geotourism in the city, with important consequences in terms of visibility and financial return.
