A geomorphosite (a short for geomorphological heritage site) is a landform or an assemblage of landforms that have a scientific, didactic, historic-cultural, aesthetic or socio-economic value.[2] [3]
Geomorphosites are included among the geoheritage sites and may comprise landforms (or sites of former landforms) that have been hidden or destroyed due to human activities,[5] [6] as well as anthropogenic landforms[7] [8] of archaeological or historical interest.[9]
The value of a geomorphosite, for purposes of analysis, comparison and protection, can be qualitatively assessed using several methods.[10] Some of these methods are based only on expert judgements and a few evaluation criteria, while others involve assigning a qualitative score to each relevant characteristic of a site (e.g. its scientific importance, didactic value etc.) and then weighting and summing (or ranking) the scores to obtain the site's overall value (or rank).
