Geomorphosites are landforms that have acquired, in time, a certain value (scientific, cultural, aesthetic, ecological and/or economic). This article presents a statistical analysis of the results obtained during an evaluation of geomorphosites
, including their associated value in the minds of tourists. The AA. selected, catalogued and evaluated the best-known geomorphosites in the Bucegi Mountains without making it their goal to map them. Tourists' opinions were assessed by questionnaire

Producing of thematic maps is usually combined with three different stages : scientific stage, scientific-artistic stage, and technological stage, therefore on various stages several types of authors are involved. Only good knowledge about
these stages enables accurate evaluation of scientistic and esthetic worth of thematic maps and determination of autorship of thematical maps. Copyright of each type of the authors of thematical maps in Slovenia is secured on different ways by Slovene copyright
This paper argues for explicit assessments of uncertainty in environmental data and models as a necessary, although not a sufficient, condition for balancing uncertain scientific arguments against uncertain social, ethical, moral and legal arguments
in managing environmental systems. In particular, this paper aims to : demonstrate the importance of assessing uncertainty within a realist research framework; consider the nature of scientific uncertainty as the basis for developing methodologies
that question belief; and explore some important aspects of a methodology for evaluating uncertainties in environmental research.

This paper introduces geoecological mapping as a possible method for the scientific foundation of regional environmental rehabilitation. The main argument of the author is that geoecological mapping can be very well used for the individual
and integrated evaluation of the environmental factors and their interrelated system. The novelty of the concept is that inthe first step crisis regions with degraded environment are subdivided into geoecologically homogeneous units. Inthe course of investigation

The question of how much progress has been made in any sphere of life calls for the interrogation of both the meanings and measurement of progress. This applies to discussions on progress made by scientific disciplines. For a discipline
such as geography, which stands at the confluence of philosophies of science, evaluating progress is a complex undertaking. This is explored in the paper. - (AJC)
