Geomorphosites inventory in the Măcin mountains (South-Eastern Romania).

Abstract

Our study aims to achieve the working stages to be followed in the geomorphosites inventory process. The proposed inventory methodology requires the performing of three main stages: documentation regarding the morphological specificity of the studied area; identification of landforms with potential of geomorphosite and the inventory of the geomorphosites features (scientific, educational, aesthetic, cultural, historical, religious, touristic). The methodological working stages were applied in the Macin Mountains area, the result consisting in the detailed inventory of 47 geomorphosites. The data obtained through geomorphosites inventory in Macin Mountains were further used in the assessment process, geomorphosites ranking and geotouristic capitalization.
