Classification and Quantification of Urban Geodiversity and Its Intersection with Cultural Heritage

Urban geodiversity is a complex entity that includes both natural and anthropogenic geological geomorphological elements, thus requiring broad interdisciplinary approach to its inventorying assessment. To estimate evaluate the widest possible range of urban geodiversity, explore intersection between geo- cultural heritage, an inventory 615 features city Pozna?, Poland, has been established. The preferences general public were studied examine possibilities developing geotourism. Statistical analyses allowed estimation reliability assessment method. study shows in environment, rich, although most cases it scores low evaluation. results quantitative reveal few significant correlations showing criteria used are not overlapping. However, potential geotourists consistent with outcome Landforms significantly altered or completely destroyed by human geomorphosites, located centre close tourist venues, selected times users interactive map, but none these sites included existing geosite inventories, them ranked process. Studies geotourists’ therefore required before any strategy for tourism development adopted.
