Abstract
BENTO, Lilian Carla Moreira and RODRIGUES, Silvio Carlos. Geosites selection for touristic purpose at Ibitipoca/MG state park (PEI): A proposal from numeric evaluation methodologies. Invest. Geog [online]. 2014, n.85, pp.33-46. ISSN 2448-7279. https://doi.org/10.14350/rig.42254.
The creation of conservation units permits, among others, the valuing of the natural patrimony. This valuing process is associated to the way society perceives patrimony, which, consequently, is attached to the value attributed to it. The act of attributing value to a patrimony, be it natural or cultural, emerges, initially, from the understanding of the importance of such patrimony. This understanding, specifically in the conservation units, depends on environmental education and interpretation actions. Such study has as main objective the selection of geosites for touristic purpose at the Ibitipoca State Park, from the numeric evaluation methodology. That selection is relevant once it will direct, in post studies to be held by the current authors, the actions of valuing and publicizing of the geological patrimony to be implemented in the park.
