摘要：Over the last two decades, several methods have been
developed to reduce subjectivity of geomorphosite
selection through use of transparent assessment criteria. Most of these methods propose criteria such
as integrity, rarity, representativeness and palaeogeographical
importance for the evaluation of the «scientific value» of sites. For the assessment of their global
quality, «additional values» of ecological, cultural,
aesthetic and economic nature have, at times, been
taken into consideration. This paper proposes a new
assessment method that integrates both sets of values
into the evaluation of geomorphosites. The method
is described and its implementation in two different
cases presented: compilation of an inventory of geomorphosites in the National Park of Adula (Ticino,
Switzerland) and evaluation of the geocultural heritage of the Trient area (Valais, Switzerland).
