This study deals with geomorphological natural features (geomorphosites) relative to the natural processes that create, shape, or destroy such features. As a rule, geomorphologic processes are geographical constants in the landscape although some
of geomorphological processes and on the standards of the observer. - (IKR)
The Dolomites make up an important geo-heritage that can be considered as a high-altitude field laboratory for research and development of geomorphological theories and understanding. The A. stresses that on June 26th 2009 the Dolomites were
included in the World Heritage List because of their scientific importance from the geological and geomorphological point of view, together with their exceptional beauty and unique landscape. Furthermore, this inclusion is an important scientific goal
and an event which stimulates in-depth studies, discussions and assessment of investigations and theories in the field of Geomorphology. - (NF)
This paper highlights different values of the landforms as part of geomorphologicalheritage and helps to put forwards the term geodiversity in Slovenia. The article provides reasons to value geodiversity and is followed by a discussion
it accumulates over sedimentary or weathered materials, therefore geomorphologicalheritage is a key factor in nival erosion. To test this hypothesis, the AA. identified the landforms in the study area and determined their relative ages by weathering

This paper discusses ways in which geomorphology might be used by engineers and planners. In many countries following the lead given by Poland, it is now standard practice to take full account of the morphology and processes of the landscape during
an investigation. The aim of this paper is therefore to describe the nature of modern geomorphology and discuss how the assessments might be based on new approaches.
Geomorphology and cultural heritage of the Ponci Valley (Finalese karstic area, Ligurian Alps)
The Finalese is an area of great geomorphological and cultural value, with major scientific, landscape, socio-economic, and historical features that offer opportunities for investigating the relationships between issues concerning geodiversity
and land use. This paper presents the geomorphological and environmental profile of the Ponci Valley, which is located in the Finale Ligure (Savona) hinterland, and its relationship with the presence of some artefacts of Roman age (13-12 B.C.). This site
has geomorphological, environmental, and archaeological value and in all it can be acknowledged as a geosite of Mediterranean importance. Thereby it represents an asset of high cultural and landscape value for which protection and enhancement measures
