Abstract

Summary

The article discusses geological landmarks and issues related to their preservation and popularization. Local and international practice shows the need for innovative practices in this developing sector. Geological tourism has a potential to improve socio-economic situation of local communities, as well as to preserve natural heritage and promote geosciences. As of this day, there are no means to draw public attention to Ukrainian geoheritage and geotourism, which makes this work highly relevant. Web GIS will allow users to obtain necessary spatial information online and in a visually appealing manner. Thereby, users get indirectly involved in geological tourism. However, another aim of this work is to further encourage active tourism. Research objectives include collecting information on geoheritage in Ukrainian regions, classifying geological landmarks, designing and populating a database, developing a concept and a working prototype of a Web GIS. Overall, the work discusses concepts in geological tourism, such as geoheritage, geoparks and classification of geological landmarks. The main part introduces a concept of Web GIS in geotourism industry and methodology to develop such a platform. It is expected that this Web GIS platform will systematize information about geological landmarks, in addition to encouraging geological tourism and geoconservation.
