Abstract
The approach to Geosyte concept it provides a new defition by introducing the notion of “Geographic defined portion of a territory managed in its spatial aspects and in its cultural contents with a Geographic Information System”. It therefore analyzes a portion of land of special cultural value in its geographic connotations in order to represent it in its entirety. We make use of cross-disciplinary approach that makes it possible to develop a complete inventory of Geosites nationally and internationally thanks to the determination of a standardized methodology for computerization of all the features about the good itself. It builds a Geographic Information System, which combines in a single project all the Geosyte geographical, scientific and cultural informations identifying it uniquely through polygons with standard size of 1 km² (Areas Minimum Sample) or multiples of them, connected to a relational database wich contains all the information about the Geosyte provided by the ISPRA format. The georeferencing system used is WGS84, the only one available on a global scale, integrated to a UTM projection system, to avoid deformations and to be able to perform areal processing. A series of thematic maps allow detailed analysis of the territory, taking as a basis the land use map defined by a methodology standardized at European level, the Biohab, which allows a very high level of detail, perfect for an area of dimensions considered. The analysis of the landscape in its morphology and its possible touristic fruition go across three-dimensional processing and the identification of pathways defined considering travel times and stop thanks to specific ESRI Arcgis tools.
