“…Beyond the nature of geotourism and its understanding, it is a nature-based tourism form (including special geotourism forms, for example, urban geotourism [27,28], which is practiced in urban areas but focused on phenomena of natural origin like, for example, stones of historical buildings [28], etc.). Moreover, like any other tourism form, it strongly depends on the visitors and their interest to partake in geotourism, or nature-based tourism, experiences.…”

Some Comments to Geosite Assessment, Visitors, and Geotourism Sustainability

Geotourism as a globally growing phenomenon is based on several principles where sustainability plays a key role. The value of an individual site of visitors' interest (geosite, geomorphosite, or site of geological heritage-a primary point of interest in geotourism) may be expressed via specific assessment methods. However, recent geosite assessment methods are primarily focused on various aspects of geoheritage (e.g., location, scientific value, representativeness, etc.) and very low attention is paid to the majority of geotourism participants-people for whom the various geotourism products are introduced and offered. The geotourism development itself would not be possible without interest of tourists (visitors) in such places. Without the knowledge of relevant visitor data incorporated within the assessment, as discussed in this paper, such values, representing the result of the geosite assessment process, cannot be effectively utilized to help future geosite development and management activities related to overall (geo)tourism progress.

“…As presented in Table 2, there are various aspects affecting geosite visits and potential visitors' geotourism experiences [5,6,28,29]. Such data represent very useful sources of information on potential geotourists that should be implemented within future recommendations towards effective geotourism development.…”

“…Some pioneering example works are from London in the 1980s, when geological walks were proposed (Robinson 1982(Robinson , 1984(Robinson , 1985. In the following years several aspects were addressed, in particular: the origin of building stones used in historical monuments (Gomez-Heras et al 2010, Perez-Monserrat et al 2013, Borghi et al 2014, Del Lama et al 2015; geological/geomorphological features of the natural site on which a city is built (Côté et al 2009, Rodrigues et al 2011, Del Monte et al 2013; the links between geoheritage and archaeological heritage (Dóniz-Páez, BecerraRamírez 2015, Palacio Prieto 2015); and geotourism mapping (Côté et al 2009.

Urbanization is a global phenomenon and currently more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas. Studies on geomorphological heritage and the development of specific methods of investigation (assessment, inventories, cartography) are, however, relatively rare and limited. This paper first describes the relationships between urbanization and geomorphology. Secondly, it presents an overview of the main works on the urban geomorphological heritage. Then, the main methods of investigation are presented. Finally, we discuss the challenging issues concerning the protection and the promotion of the urban geomorphological heritage.

PicA A., luberti G.M., VerGAri F., Fredi P., del Monte M., 2017. Contribution for an urban geomorphoheritage assessment method: proposal from three geomorphosites in Rome (Italy). Quaestiones Geographicae 36(3), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 21-36. 7 figs, 1 table.AbstrAct: Urban geomorphology has important implications in spatial planning of human activities, and it also has a geotouristic potential due to the relationship between cultural and geomorphological heritage. Despite the introduction of the term Anthropocene to describe the deep influence that human activities have had in recent times on Earth evolution, urban geomorphological heritage studies are relatively rare and limited and urban geotourism development is recent. The analysis of the complex urban landscape often need the integration of multidisciplinary data. This study aims to propose the first urban geomorphoheritage assessment method, which originates after long-lasting previous geomorphological and geotouristic studies on Rome city centre, it depict rare examples of the geomorphological mapping of a metropolis and, at the same time, of an inventory of urban geomorphosites. The proposal is applied to geomorphosites in the Esquilino neighbourhood of Rome, whose analysis confirm the need for an ad hoc method for assessing urban geomorphosites, as already highlighted in the most recent literature on the topic. The urban geomorphoheritage assessment method is based on: (i) the urban geomorphological analysis by means of multitemporal and multidisciplinary data; (ii) the geomorphosite inventory; and (iii) the geomorphoheritage assessment and enhancement. One challenge is to assess invisible geomorphosites that are widespread in urban context. To this aim, we reworked the attributes describing the Value of a site for Geotourism in order to build up a specific methodology for the analysis of the urban geomorphological heritage.
