An Investigation of Tufa Microbialites in the Terrestrial Ecosystem of Adilcevaz (Bitlis) According to the Conservation Approach
Due to their rarity, scientific, and aesthetic value, or being a part of an important geological process, some natural formations (like calc tufa) on Earth have to be protected. 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.
期刊介绍:
The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism.
The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are:
- Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage;
- Geodiversity and geosites;
- On-site science, geological and geomorphological research:
- Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation
and management;
- Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby;
- Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international;
- Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use
policies;
- Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies;
- Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism;
- Geoparks: creation, management and outputs;
- Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change;
- Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies;
- International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites,
National Parks etc.;
- Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections
and all portable geoheritage;
- Education and training of geoheritage specialists;
- Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres,
on-site museums;
- Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
