“…Ngoài ra còn một số vùng cảnh quan khác đã và đang được tiếp tục nghiên cứu, làm hồ sơ để trình UNESCO công nhận các danh hiệu thế giới. Một số điểm di sản có giá trị nhỏ hơn cũng đã được giới thiệu trên các tạp chí khoa học trong và ngoài nước, như Quần đảo Cát Bà [7], Cụm di sản địa chất khu vực Tây Nguyên [8,9], Cụm cảnh quan núi lửa Krông Nô [10,11] và Khu vực dải ven biển Bình Thuận -Ninh Thuận [12].…”

Dong Van district in Ha Giang province, one of four districts of Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark, has a number of geosites with great potential for geo-tourism development. By the aim to promote tourism development and to propose a management plan, the present work selects six typical geosites in Dong Van district for assessment geoheritage values. The studied geosites are characterized based on the global framework of geological world heritage [13] and are evaluated values of science, potential education and tourism depending on a series of quantitative criteria from Rocha et al. 2013, Brilha 2016 with a score ranging from 1 to 5, 2002. Furthermore, the qualification of the six-geosite group is recognized according to both the relevance of the meaning attributed to the objects by scientific communities (defined as relevance grade) and the public understanding of such meanings related to the social use of the objects (defined as abstract perceptiveness) from Reis and Henriques 2009. The results show that six geosites are classified into three types of geological sites including paleontology, geomorphology (covered by karst deserts and caves) and petrology-mineralogy. The quantitative assessment concerning scientific requirement and educational as well tourism uses represents and defines the potential geo-tourism development on both the science communities and public understanding. The ultimate goal of the study is to use these results for the conservation of the area.

“…This new direction emphasizes the importance of landscapes as part of the natural heritage, deserving the same attention as its biotic components. As a result, new terms such as geodiversity, geosite, geolandscape, geotope and geosite have been coined and methodologies for the study of geodiversity and geosites have been established (Panizza, 2001;Pralong, 2005;Brilha, 2016;Phuong et al, 2017;Gordon, 2018;Catana and Brilha, 2020). Numerous studies have been carried out on the inventory, evaluation and use of geosites in different parts of the world, including the Carpathian Mountains in Romania (Cocean, 2011;Toma, 2012;Stoleriu, 2014;Papp, 2023).…”

Călimani Mountains offer an impressive diversity of natural elements that can be conserved, including flora and fauna that could represent a tourism potential. This study evaluates three key geosites within the Călimani National Park: the Sulphur Quarry, Doisprezece Apostoli (Twelve Apostles), and Pietrosul Peak (2100 m). The results indicate that these geosites have significant potential for tourism development. The Sulphur Quarry holds historical and industrial importance, while Twelve Apostles and Pietrosul Peak are significant geologically and culturally. Evaluating these geosites will aid in resource management and conservation. Sustainable tourism development is achievable in the Călimani Mountains, and geosite assessment is a crucial step toward this goal. Future management strategies should prioritize sustainable use and conservation of natural resources.

“…To answer the question on how should geosites be selected for protection, inventories are being carried out in many countries. Most of the initiatives were based in Europe (e.g Wimbledon and Smith-Meyer 2012), but national or regional inventories are now being developed in many other parts of the world, such as Brazil (e.g Santos et al 2016;Garcia et al 2018;Ferreira et al 2019), Ethiopia (e.g Megerssa et al 2019), Morocco (e.g Beraaouz et al 2019), Egypt (e.g Khalaf et al 2019), Mexico (e.g Silva-García et al 2019), Vietnam (e.g Phuong et al 2017) and others.…”
