Present geological and geomorphological objects are non-living features that can enhance curiosity and increase the knowledge of Earth’s history, through the development of geotourism. The municipality of Durrës, located in western Albania represents an active tectonic area with numerous landforms, an evidence of geodiversity and geoheritage. In this paper, the most typical geosites are identified mainly based on their scientific values as well as their geotourism potential. After the defining of 5 geosites, through geological and topographical map, we applied the Geosite assessment model (GAM). GAM is widely used in Europe on different areas and has given good results in the evaluation of geosites. The GAM method involves only experts’ opinions, which are essential for the preliminary development of geotourism in Albania. This method produce different main values (MV) and additional values (AV) score, which are very useful results in preservation, conservation and promotion of the area.

Nakhon Sawan Province is located in Upper Central Thailand, where the Chao Phraya River, the vital river of Thailand, begins. According to the distribution of the archaeological sites, the related geological features were divided into two groups by geodiversity scope: (1) hydrological sites - Chao Phraya river, Bueng Boraphet lake, (2) speleological sites - Tham Phet-Tham Thong cave and Khoa Nor mountain. The hydrological sites are the primary water resources of local people since many hundred years, including transportation, agriculture, and fishery, so there are many archaeological sites around there. In addition, the speleological sites are covered with limestones intruded by the granitic rocks, which has caused ore deposition in the form of skarn. The evidence of antiquities in the archaeological site near speleological sites suggests that ancient people discovered and produced their ores, notably iron in the studied area. Based on inventory, characterization, classification, and assessment methods, this preliminary geoarchaeology study can support Nakhon Sawan to promote geotourism for sustainability by their stunning geological features, fantastic nature as well as beautiful culture, both past and present.

Despite the large amount of information, including books, articles and pristine images of geotourism, there exists no comprehensive study on the collection and classification of them in Iran yet. In this research, for the modelling of geosite watersheds, 1000 articles were surveyed through library research and the models with the highest frequency of use were identified and analysed among a statistical sample of 451 local papers using the Meta-Analysis method, and then the most efficient ones were identified using Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. The re- sults of this study showed that while the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), Pralong, Reynard, AHP and Pereira models are in the first to fifth-ranked models with the highest frequency, however, Pralong, SWOT, Reynard, Perira and Comanescu models were considered as the most efficient ones in geosite modelling in Iran.

W artykule przedstawiono na podstawie analizy archiwalnych materiałów kartograficznych oraz literatury polsko- i niemieckojęzycznej z okresu XVI–XXI wieku rozmieszczenie dawnych kopalni bursztynu w województwie pomorskim. Rejestr dawnych wyrobisk opracowano w oparciu o technologię GIS. W efekcie wyznaczono 32 nieznane do tej pory historyczne miejsca wydobywania bursztynu. Na podstawie badania źródeł kartograficznych: XIX i XX-wiecznych pruskich map topograficznych w skali 1:25 000 (Urmesstischblätter, Messtischblätter) i arkuszy mapy geologicznej Prowincji Prusy w skali 1:100 000 (Geologische Karte der Provinz Preußen) uszczegółowiono lokalizację 11 historycznych stanowisk górniczych. W wielu przypadkach z jednym miejscem skojarzonych było więcej kopalni bursztynu. W rezultacie badanie archiwalnych pruskich map topograficznych umożliwiło dokładną lokalizację 35 dawnych kopalni bursztynu. Dodatkowo XIX-wieczne pruskie mapy geologiczne w skali 1:100 000 wizualizują lokalizację 9 kopalni. Analiza materiałów historycznych i przeprowadzone w terenie rozpoznanie wskazuje na relikty dawnego górnictwa bursztynowego szczególnie cenne z punktu widzenia dziedzictwa kulturowego, mało znane, a przy tym dobrze zachowane w terenie. Kompleksy te po zagospodarowaniu mogą stanowić wybitnie cenne zasoby geoturystyczne województwa pomorskiego.

Article is based on analysis of archival cartographic materials and Polish–German literature from the period between the 16th and 21th centuries. It presents the sites of old amber mines in the Pomerania Province. In total 32 new and unknown amber mines were found and the study of historical topographic maps made it possible to establish the very exact location of places mentioned in previous works. The analysis of historical materials conducted by the author points to locations of unknown, well-preserved, old extraction sites, which are valuable due to their cultural heritage. After some investment in the local infrastructure, the sites can make attractive spots in the region. The geosite of Bursztynowe Kule’ in Tricity Landscape Park is one of such places were well-preserved old amber mines are to be found. The final result of library research is the GIS ‘Digital map of former amber mines in the Pomerania Province’.
