| Description | Evaluation of the geomorphologic localities represents a significant part of some research oriented on inventory of landforms (environmental geomorphology). The principal parameters to evaluate are scientific or ecologic characteristics, in a minor extent aesthetic features or economic potential of the localities. The contribution presents possibilities of evaluation of the geomorphologic localities and concentrates on concept of „geomorphosites“ which is used in some countries of the west and south Europe. The „geomorphosites“ are landforms or relief segments that have acquired some values due to human perception. This methodology allows observing the geomorphologic localities with respect to their historical, aesthetic and cultural aspects. The concept of „geomorphosites“ will be used in the interdisciplinary research and in the protection and management of these geomorphologic localities and relief segments. |
