Abstract

In recent years, various studies have been conducted on inventory and assessment of geosites as well as proposals of georoutes, leading to the implementation of geoconservation actions worldwide. The aim of this research is to explore the geological heritage and itineraries of the El Bayadh area in Algeria, which exhibits a rich and diverse geology and offers scenic landscapes. The methodology used is to identify and describe three potential geological itineraries, composed of 11 geosites that have scientific, educational, and touristic value. The most important results are that El Bayadh has unique geological features, such as Triassic diapirs, dinosaur footprint sites, oases, dams, and rock engravings that reveal the area’s ancient history and geological processes. The geoheritage of El Bayadh can contribute to sustainable development, conservation, and community engagement, by promoting geotourism, geoscience education, and natural heritage preservation.

埃尔巴亚德地区（阿尔及利亚撒哈拉阿特拉斯）地层岩性清查和地层岩性建议

近年来，对地质遗迹的清查和评估以及地质路线的建议开展了各种研究，从而在世界范围内实施了地质保护行动。本研究旨在探索阿尔及利亚 El Bayadh 地区的地质遗产和地质路线，该地区地质丰富多样，风景优美。所采用的方法是确定和描述三条潜在的地质路线，由 11 个具有科学、教育和旅游价值的地质地貌组成。最重要的结果是，巴亚德拥有独特的地质特征，如三叠纪断裂带、恐龙足迹遗址、绿洲、水坝和岩刻，揭示了该地区的远古历史和地质过程。巴亚德的地质遗产可以通过促进地质旅游、地质科学教育和自然遗产保护，为可持续发展、保护和社区参与做出贡献。
