Abstract

This study sought to approach geoheritage, geoconservation and geotourism, presenting a diagnosis of potential points of interest for geoheritage. In the beginning of the study, two scenarios were mapped: the first one was based on geotourism spots — mainly the main waterfalls and caves in the Federal District (DF) of Brazil — and, on the second one, quarries were used as scientific resource, primarily for the understanding of the geological and geomorphological genesis of potential heritage sites in the Federal District. Therefore, this research aimed to indicate places where genetic processes of the landscape can be noticed in a peculiar way, which encompasses geodiversity and geoheritage. Thus, this work offers a new geographic look about geotouristic, educational and scientific potential in the region, providing the preservation and conservation of the environment. This approach, centered in the described aspects, resulted in a map with more than two hundred points of interest to the geomorphological heritage in DF. From that, it was possible to propose a new methodology, in which the space-time dynamics is fundamental: the variation of values typically atributted to geoheritage in a 12 month period.
