“…A database, on the one hand, will allow the insertion of data about the individual features composing geo-, bio-, and other kinds of heritage. On the other hand, it will enable final users to freely consult it, according to their needs and expectations, using keywords or specific topics or subjects, as proposed by [60,93,94]. As the ISPRA geosites form reported (https://sgi.isprambiente.it/ GeositiWeb/public/scheda_geositi.pdf, Accessed on 6 March 2023), descriptive forms have been prepared for each object under consideration, starting from a General Descriptive form for the site/area in which they are included (Figure A1).…”

“…Scientific knowledge is meant as a basic knowledge and the ability to apply the scientific method to an everyday approach (fundamental, for instance, to evaluate online information also, which is sometimes unfounded). Several topics linked to geo context can be developed, so that they may connect to other disciplinary and educational fields (see examples in [60,93,94]).…”

“…Geoconservation actions have been implemented by elaborating arguments that can be developed in the study area, as presented in Figure A5a. The arguments' textual contents are supposed to be differentiated according to age group, as already proposed by [60,93,94]. Arguments will be linked together using the geological context as a fil rouge along which to build an educational path.…”

Several theoretical and applied studies are concerned with the topics of geological heritage management and geoconservation. The diversity of natural and anthropic scenarios into which geological heritage is inserted, as well as its troublesome management, make these topics challenging for scientific discussion. However, on the other hand, these topics highlight the complexity of a theoretical schematization of approaches and procedures, as well as of the practical application of theoretical assumptions. This paper concerns a practical application of a case study in geoconservation actions, which begins with the identification and the basic description of a site of multicultural interest (characterized by the coexistence of geo and non-geo aspects); subsequently, the needs and aims of the potential end users and stakeholders are analyzed. Finally, several geoconservation actions, differentiated according to end user and stakeholder goals, are proposed. The chosen area includes the Craco ghost town in southern Italy. It is a characteristic, evocative place, where it is possible to observe natural and anthropic contexts. The Craco ghost town is also nationally and internationally renowned, since some movie productions have been set there (such as some scenes in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of Christ movie). In this area, the abBandono vErsus riGenerazIoNe (BEGIN) Project (ROP ERDF Basilicata 2014–2020 interregional and transnational cooperation projects) aims to develop an operative, unequivocal, and multi-layered procedure focused on sustainable management, disseminating knowledge and enhancing and using the cultural context of abandoned sites as an attractive force for tourist purposes.

“…Basic Geoconservation is the basic knowledge, characterization, and study of GSs and PLs, as well as of the territorial, natural, and sociocultural contexts in which they are located, highlighting geo-contexts [12,[34][35][36][37] and non-geo-contexts [38][39][40]. The study scale may vary from a micro-to a mega-scale, depending on the type of study, the object of the study, and the purpose of the study.…”

Geoheritage and Geoconservation: Some Remarks and Considerations

Topics related to geoheritage research, protection, and conservation, as well as the enhancement and dissemination of geoheritage knowledge, have experienced an important increase in interest regarding the perspectives of both research and management policies. In geoheritage and geodiversity management, geoconservation is a term that encompasses a series of actions dedicated to conservation, research on and the protection of geoheritage, and the enhancement as well as dissemination of knowledge in this area. Geoconservation is a kind of container, with several compartments dedicated to different aspects that identify geoheritage and geodiversity, including scientific, technical, administrative, didactical, and political aspects. These aspects are necessarily different according to (i) objects directly or indirectly involved in geoconservation actions; (ii) the area of application (protected and unprotected natural areas; emerged, submerged, or mixed areas; and urban, urbanized, and/or anthropized areas); (iii) final goals; and (iv) the final end users. This paper presents a schematization of geoconservation concepts and applications as expressed in the literature and as a result of personal experience in addressing issues related to geoheritage management.

“…From a conceptual point of view, compound geo(morpho)sites can have different areal extensions ranging from a few to several km 2 (see examples in [4]). Where they are widely extended, it is possible to recognize the Areas of Multicultural Interest (AMI) containing several compound geo(morpho)sites, which can be related to each other through different themes or topics [5]. Most of the literature on heritage issues is specific and sectoral, dedicated to a single cultural context (historical, archaeological, geological, etc.).…”

Geoheritage Management in Areas with Multicultural Interest Contexts

Sites of geo-cultural interest are often included in areas where multicultural contexts (geo and non geo) are present. Cultural heritage dissemination is sometimes mono-contextual, paying little attention to the possibility of inclusion in a wider multicultural context. When these different contexts are linkable to each other following a specific theme, multicultural heritage dissemination will be possible, and often the geo context can represent a fulcrum, a resilient tool in doing that. A portion of the Sinni river’s catchment area (Basilicata region, Southern Italy) has been chosen to test and verify the multi-level/disciplinary approach applicability. The area is located on the southeastern edge of the Pliocene to Pleistocene Sant’Arcangelo basin in the Southern Apennines chain of Italy. Here, both basic observations on the physical geography landscape evolution and specialized observations on river dynamics and on the hydrographic network have been carried out. Educational routes will be proposed with different educational levels along a path that will include the San Giorgio Lucano hypogea. This paper represents the results of a qualitative study providing an overview of the possibility, in a multicultural context, about whether, when, and how the geo context may act as a link between the different disciplines and what is the best way to make it. A relational database, organized in contexts, areas, and themes, is planned at different levels of detail, and is currently being developed in order to make final products easily available. Each level will be provided with basic concepts, territorial contextualization, and of activities/itineraries. The goal is to provide a versatile tool that enhances the territorial multi-cultural heritage to reach a greater number of end users interested in both geo and non geo contexts.
