Abstract

Geodiversity and geosites: trade-mark and distinctive signs of the Siena and Grosseto territories. Aim of this work is to identify the cultural assumptions and the reference procedures for the evaluation, validation and improvement of the geological heritage and to define the concept of Geodiversity as trade-mark and naturalistic value of a territory. In the last decade the Earth Science Department of the University of Siena has managed several projects to set off the geological heritage of the Siena and Grosseto territories. These projects have characterized 275 geosites, some of Regional Interest (GIR) and some of Local Interest (GIL). In the Siena Province the geosites census was realized by means of a dedicated Microsoft Access database provided by APAT.
