While the formation and development processes of the microbialites in Lake Van continue, the microbiolites in Adilcevaz remained outside the lake and became fossils. These structures are arranged approximately 200 m wide and 800 m long, reaching heights of 6 m in places. In this study, the area where the Adilcevaz tufa microbialites, surviving to the present day as a remnant of the level change stages of Lake Van as well as their aesthetic appearance and scientific importance, was evaluated according to the conservation approach. Phenomenology research design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. Although the research is basically a field study, secondary sources were used and face-to-face interviews were conducted. The semi-structured interview technique, one of the qualitative research techniques, was used for the interviews that were held with the participants on the basis of pre-prepared questionnaire forms. Following the interviews, the data were evaluated with descriptive and interpretive analyzes. As a result of the field observations and interviews, the area was suggested to be evaluated as a “natural monument” to protect it and carry out activities for tourism purposes. It is understood that the area has an important potential in terms of ecotourism, and should be proposed to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the Lake Van microbialites, the largest microbialites in the world.","PeriodicalId":48924,"journal":{"name":"Geoheritage","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139758063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data analysis encompassed exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The comprehensive analysis of the findings unveiled significant results: destination image notably impacts self-congruity, novelty-seeking, perceived value, and destination personality. Besides, a perceived value influences visit intention significantly. However, the fifth hypothesis concludes a significant effect of self-congruity, novelty-seeking, and destination personality on the visit intention. The research results enhance the understanding of volcano, crater, and geothermal tourism. The research deepens insights into the intricate dynamics between tourists’ perceptions of destination attributes and their intent to visit. Thorough exploration contributes to the discourse on geotourism and nature-based tourism, furnishing insights to steer destination management strategies and inspire further scholarly inquiries in this domain.","PeriodicalId":48924,"journal":{"name":"Geoheritage","volume":"168 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139762147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Azerbaijan (the eastern part) and the adjacent water area of the South Caspian basin, the mud volcanism has its most development in comparison with the rest parts of world. The mentioned area is considered as the host for over 350 mud volcanoes onshore and offshore, differing in type, morphology, dimensions, eruption activity and intensity of fluids’ emitting and even possible risks for the environment. Here, the mud volcanoes, being the unique and noticeable units of the local landscape, claim the attention of not only the geoscientists but also the domestic and foreign tourists. Consequently, it represents a good enough potential for promoting the future geotourism development of the region not only as the geopark component, but also as independent geoheritage units. The study characterizes the provinces of mud volcanoes distribution, their specific features, definitions and classification. Seven remarkable mud volcanoes from various provinces in Azerbaijan had been selected in the present paper. They are described not only as geological objects but also as the landscape units, scenic attraction and local landmarks. The detailed description as well as the images of the volcanoes can give the comprehensive view about the target of research.

These processes in collaboration with old Jurassic and quaternary sediments create a diverse geological and geomorphological constructions forming the abiotic environment of areas surrounding Port Jackson and Fletcher Bay. These two locations have been chosen as two main campsites of the north Coromandel Peninsula, which are maintained by the Department of Conservation (DOC) of Coromandel Peninsula. Hence, the campsites should be considered as main places for camping for the trips of different purposes. They provide an access costal way and/or trails leading to the main geologically important locations presenting some knowable features like Pinnacles and Sugar Loaf spread through the region.

However, the chromogenic factors and microgeomorphology of it have not been systematically studied, and the dissolution rate of the rocks remains unclear. The geopark contains the Sanbaidong profile, which completely traverses the bedrock of the red stone forest. We collected 355 samples from the strata within the profile for high-density geochemical analysis and found that the red stone forest contains more than one chromogenic factor. The TFe2O3 content in the lower boundary of red carbonate rocks increases significantly, controlling the occurrence of red beds. The proportion of Fe3+ controls the degree of red colouration. The proportions of Fe2+ and Cu2+ control the appearance of the greyish-green layer, and Mn2+ may control the darkness of the rocks. According to the study on the coupling between elements, TFe2O3 and Cu2+ are mainly supplied from continental sources, and Mn2+ is restricted by both marine and continental factors. The elemental distribution in layers obviously controls the concave and convex microgeomorphology. The clearest reason for this phenomenon is the CaO-SiO2 proportions in adjacent layers, which are independent of the absolute values. According to an ideal model and comparisons with the Dalongdong area in Xiangxi and the Shilin UNESCO Global Geopark, it is calculated that the dissolution of the red stone forest may occur at a rate of 130.63 mg/a. The dissolution difference between the concave and convex surfaces is 1.3978 mg/a. This means that the compositional difference between the concave and convex surfaces may lead to an annual quality difference of approximately 1.07% between the layers. After tens of thousands of years, the microgeomorphology finally formed.","PeriodicalId":48924,"journal":{"name":"Geoheritage","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139757941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this sense, UNESCO Global Geoparks emerges as an alternative figure with a vision more focused on socio-economic development. This paper compares the perception of sustainability in these two types of protected areas. For this purpose, a questionnaire was sent to the highest representatives of the municipalities closest to all the national parks and geoparks in Spain.

A survey submitted to curators from 41 collections at 23 different institutions from Brazil allowed gathering information about their curatorial practices. The collected data used quantitative and qualitative methodologies, drawing parallel to the literature when appropriate. The analysis of these Brazilian collections shows how transdisciplinary innovation transforms museological environments, based on networks and database systems, enabling best practices. Whether through collection networks, systems or databases, interdisciplinary work permeates the entire life of the scientific object and, therefore, is considered a fundamental action in its maintenance and management.
