“…The method of the work is a critical comparison of theoretical studies on geosystems and ecosystems with a recent series of works dealing with mainstream topics [4], [5], [30]. The methodical procedure is based on the knowledge of a vast literature in this field as well as on own methodical and practical experiences in this field [17], [22]. The absolute theoretical-methodical basis of the work is the definition of the main aspects of the landscape as a geosystem concerning the climatic changes and ecosystem services as follows:…”

Nowadays, changes in environment have become characteristic of notorious mainstream political topics, with a corresponding moral, political, and financial support. The presented article deals with the landscape-ecological scientific aspects of climatic changes and of ecosystem services. The research of both phenomena is based on the complex investigation of the geosystem and, as a second step, on the scientifically-based interpretation of the obtained results. The problem resides in the question concerning the capability of scientific institutions and teams to deal with these topics with scientific profoundness, taking into account intensive public pressure and high expectations.

“…Primary landscape structure is defined by the abiotic elements of geosystems, for example, geology, relief, soil, water, and air. It is the primary basis for other landscape structures (Miklós et al, 2019). Collective term for overall diversity of landscapes, landforms, and processes that form and reshape them on the Earth's surface and in the lithosphere (that includes their features, relationships, and systems) is defined as geodiversity.…”

AbstractIn terms of spatial planning and environment protection procedures in Croatia, geomorphological features as a component of geodiversity are mostly considered marginally. They are considered locally in the scope of certain operations such as urban development, mining, or activities that are being assessed in the environment impact assessment procedures or spatial and strategical planning. Regarding the protection and the planning processes connected with it, geomorphological features should be considered in the right scale and with all of its values and services that are being provided to the environment on a landscape scale. In this paper, geodiversity and its role in landscape evolution will be connected and explained with the example of subgeomorphological region Ogulinsko-plašćanska Zavala, in the mountainous Dinaric karst part of Croatia. As it has been a region with long human and nature interaction, and a region with preserved natural and seminatural landscapes, it is a suitable area for such an analysis. In order to properly assess the geomorphological features as one of the determinants of landscape, the basis for environment impact assessment procedures and spatial planning procedures, geoecological analysis of geodiversity and landscape services occurrence and spatial distribution is carried out.

This chapter concentrates on the implementation of the geogame GeoMi-nasCraft and its use for geographical virtual explorations. The game was implemented to study the use of geospatial data for the visualizations of landscapes in a serious game. The users/players can take on an adventure, explore the landscapes, learn about geodiversity, and face different challenges. The game takes us to the City of Ouro Preto in Minas Gerais in Brazil. The city was selected due to its historical significance and socio-cultural values. We used satellite images and transformed them into blocks imitating these real-world landscapes and cities in Minecraft. We tested the game prototype with nine students which gave us the needed feedback for the improvements of the first prototype. This chapter summarizes the game concept, its implementation, and the testing results. We conclude the chapter with a discussion and further research directions. IntroductionAlthough research on the use of gaming for serious purposes has increased recently (Anderson et al. 2010), the use of digital games to support geoconservation purposes,
