Abstract
Adıyaman (SE Türkiye) has a spectacular geological record and high-quality outcrops of petroleum systems. Türkiye is an important resource area for the petroleum industry. The petroleum sector impacts development and provides opportunities for geotourism and geoeducation. Most of these sedimentary and tectonically related geological records form sites relevant to petroleum geology that provide favourable conditions for geoeducational activities with special emphasis on the framework of hydrocarbon exploration models in fieldwork. These georoutes should be popularised for those who work in the petroleum industry, colleagues who are not yet familiar with them and are interested in these concepts, and even for students who are leaning in this direction. This study is about geotourism at sites that are related to the petroleum industry, which could serve as pioneering examples in SE Türkiye and their potential as industrial geotourism resources. In addition, all of these sites are ideal for conducting various geoeducational and geotourism activities for the purposes of geoconservation. Due to the uniqueness of this study, the industrial geoheritage of Adıyaman will become more accessible for scientific research and play an important role in geoeducation and as a potential geotourism resource.
期刊介绍:
The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism.
The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are:
- Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage;
- Geodiversity and geosites;
- On-site science, geological and geomorphological research:
- Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation
and management;
- Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby;
- Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international;
- Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use
policies;
- Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies;
- Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism;
- Geoparks: creation, management and outputs;
- Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change;
- Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies;
- International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites,
National Parks etc.;
- Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections
and all portable geoheritage;
- Education and training of geoheritage specialists;
- Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres,
on-site museums;
- Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
