This study examines the role of place attachment in the relationship between eco-motivation, nature-based destination, and ecotourism intention, focusing on South Cat Tien National Park as a case study. The research utilized a survey questionnaire to collect data from Vietnamese visitors to the park, and the results were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The relationships between ecotourism motivation, nature-based destination image, place attachment, and ecotourism intention are investigated. Moreover, place attachment mediated the relationships between ecotourism motivation and ecotourism intention and between nature-based destination image and ecotourism intention. These findings contribute to the theory of place attachment by providing empirical evidence of its mediating role in the context of ecotourism. The study underscores the importance of visitors' emotional and cognitive connections with nature-based destinations in shaping their ecotourism intentions. The findings suggest that fostering place attachment among visitors can enhance their motivation and intention to engage in ecotourism activities. This study's insights have implications for destination management organizations and policymakers in developing strategies that promote sustainable tourism practices while preserving the natural environment.

Geotourism is rapidly experiencing rapid growth in developing countries, such as Indonesia, and it is a component of sustainable tourism. In addition, the country has many areas of geodiversity in cities or towns that potentially can become urban geotourism destinations, such as the Bandung Basin area. This region is characterized by geological features, including young volcanic rocks surrounding the mountains, alluvial fans, and lake deposits at lower elevations extending from Rancaekek to the base of Mount Lagadar in the western part of the area. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the respective roles of stakeholders in urban geotourism development. The study used literature review and interview methodology, where data was interpreted with stakeholder analysis, and complemented by descriptive analysis. The results showed that stakeholders were divided into primary (quadrant 1), key (quadrant 2), and secondary (quadrant 3) categories, each with distinct interests and degree of influence. As urban tourism expands, it presents ongoing opportunities to cultivate sustainable practices within these locales. The establishment of urban geotourism necessitates the identification and evaluation of engaged stakeholders. The subsequent planning and management initiatives for the Bandung Basin area can be enhanced through the active participation of stakeholders.

地质旅游正在印度尼西亚等发展中国家迅速发展，它是可持续旅游的一个组成部分。此外，该国在城市或城镇中有许多具有地质多样性的地区，这些地区可能成为城市地质旅游目的地，例如万隆盆地地区。该地区的地质特征包括围绕山脉的年轻火山岩、冲积扇和较低海拔的湖泊沉积物，从该地区西部的Rancaekek延伸到Lagadar山的底部。因此，本研究旨在分析利益相关者在城市地质旅游发展中的各自作用。该研究采用文献回顾和访谈方法，其中数据与利益相关者分析进行解释，并辅以描述性分析。结果表明，利益相关者被划分为主要（象限1）、关键（象限2）和次要（象限3）类别，每个类别都有不同的利益和影响程度。随着城市旅游业的发展，在这些地区培养可持续发展的做法提供了持续的机会。城市地理旅游的建立需要对参与的利益相关者进行识别和评价。通过利益攸关方的积极参与，可以加强万隆盆地地区随后的规划和管理举措。

The 21st century has brought with it the emergence of many new technologies. Unfortunately, many of these innovations are accompanied by negative and potentially even harmful side effects. In particular, many of these technologies are associated with the uncontrolled and irreversible destruction of natural resources as well as the disruption of education and social balance. The education system must adapt to a changing world to promote the development, protection, and awareness of global citizens as well as social justice. Within this framework, it is essential to instil the fundamental principles of common education and the desire to protect the Earth and its resources. Scientific knowledge obtained from geoscience is crucial for understanding our environment and must be used for the benefit of conserving Earth systems. This article introduces the Geoconservation Education (GEOEDU) framework, aims to propose, develop, and implement a module that is closely integrated into the educational process, and ultimately aims to demonstrate the value of its impact

21世纪带来了许多新技术的出现。不幸的是，许多这些创新都伴随着负面甚至可能有害的副作用。特别是，其中许多技术与对自然资源的不受控制和不可逆转的破坏以及对教育和社会平衡的破坏有关。教育系统必须适应不断变化的世界，以促进全球公民的发展、保护和意识以及社会正义。在这个框架内，必须灌输共同教育的基本原则和保护地球及其资源的愿望。从地球科学中获得的科学知识对于了解我们的环境至关重要，必须用于保护地球系统。本文介绍了地球保护教育（GEOEDU）框架，旨在提出、开发和实施一个与教育过程紧密结合的模块，并最终旨在展示其影响的价值

Description of an emblematic geosite in Central Spain: A large sinkhole associated with paleo-landslide in gypsum karst 西班牙中部一处标志性地质遗迹的描述：石膏岩溶中与古滑坡有关的大型天坑

Emblematic geosites are those that introduce a new geological concept or strikingly display a well-known geological concept. In this context we introduce and describe a large sinkhole in Central Spain as an emblematic geosite due to the following reasons: (1) sinkholes associated with landslides are scarce; and 2) the described sinkhole has a large size providing a spectacular example of a sinkhole associated with a landslide in gypsum escarpments and with gypsum karst. Thus, although the proposed site is neither a unique example nor a new geomorphological feature, it is a particularly nice example that, by its rare development, deserves to be classed as an emblematic geosite. The studied geosite is characteristic of and represents the most typical features of sinkholes as a geo-hazard associated with paleo-landslides in gypsum karst. High steep scarps are common in gypsum terrains created by a combination of fractures and erosion caused by the lateral migration of rivers. Mass movements, including rotational landslides, are associated with these unstable scarps. These rotational landslides generate stepped slopes with a relatively rugged topography, creating flat benches and closed depressions that can accumulate runoff water from rainfall. Depending on their altitude with respect to the river floodplain, this can result in flood water or high ground water levels after intense rainfalls. This process can activate the rapid development of underground dissolution of gypsum, developing karst conduits, caves, and hollows, which can result in a self-accelerating process of rapid growth. As a consequence, the development of large underground karst voids (whether or not saturated) may increase the probability of subsidence and collapse creating sinkholes on the surface. These sinkholes are mostly small, but the large sinkhole observed in the Miocene gypsum scarps of the Tajuña River in the south of Madrid, near Titulcia and Chinchón (Madrid province) implies that the risk of a sinkhole hazard in these geological environments must be acknowledged and reconsidered. The sinkhole should be defined as an emblematic geosite that must be preserved, studied and explained.

标志性地质遗址是指那些介绍一个新的地质概念或引人注目地展示一个众所周知的地质概念的地质遗址。在此背景下，我们介绍并描述了西班牙中部的一个大型天坑作为一个标志性的地质遗址，原因如下：(1)与山体滑坡相关的天坑很少；2)所描述的天坑规模大，是石膏峭壁和石膏岩溶中与滑坡相关的天坑的壮观例子。因此，虽然提议的地点既不是一个独特的例子，也不是一个新的地貌特征，但它是一个特别好的例子，由于其罕见的开发，值得被归类为具有象征意义的地质遗址。所研究的土场是石膏岩溶古滑坡伴生地质灾害中最典型的土场。在石膏地形中，高陡的陡坡是常见的，这是由河流横向迁移引起的断裂和侵蚀共同造成的。包括旋转滑坡在内的山体运动与这些不稳定的陡坡有关。这些旋转的滑坡产生了台阶状的斜坡，地形相对崎岖，形成了平坦的长椅和封闭的洼地，可以积累降雨带来的径流。这取决于它们相对于河流洪泛区的高度，这可能导致洪水或强降雨后的高地下水位。这一过程可以激活地下溶蚀作用的快速发展，形成岩溶管道、溶洞、溶洞，形成快速生长的自加速过程。因此，大型地下岩溶空洞的发展（无论是否饱和）可能会增加地表塌陷和塌陷的可能性。这些天坑大多很小，但在马德里南部，靠近Titulcia和Chinchón（马德里省）的Tajuña河中新世石膏陡坡上观察到的大天坑意味着必须承认和重新考虑这些地质环境中天坑危害的风险。天坑应被界定为具有象征意义的地质遗址，必须加以保存、研究和解释。

Geodiversity assessment is a critical preliminary step for geoconservation planning and represents the foundation for any rich biodiversity system. The purposes of this research were to identify the geomorphic constraints that influence the geodiversity in Kuwait, and how bivariate choropleth mapping can be implemented as an innovative approach to visualize geodiversity results along with the geomorphic constraints synchronously. The assessment of geodiversity involves several abiotic elements, including geology, geomorphology, soil, and hydrology. In arid regions, such as Kuwait, geomorphic factors such as sand encroachment and soil erosion limit the resilience of ecosystems. Therefore, considering these factors during a geodiversity analysis is a substantial matter. Additionally, using bivariate choropleth mapping as an advanced cartographic method should leverage the integration between the geodiversity results and the geomorphic constraints. After we applied the centroid-based geodiversity index analysis, excluding restricted areas, the results showed that a high geodiversity index covered about 10% of Kuwait's area and was found mostly north of Kuwait Bay and towards the middle of the country. Combining the geodiversity index with the geomorphic constraints in a bivariate map revealed that about 11.8%, excluding restricted areas, consisted of optimum sites to be proposed as geoconservations. Despite the significance of geodiversity assessment in arid regions, it is also important to consider the geomorphic constraints that could limit the suitability of a given area of land to be protected.

地质多样性评价是地质保护规划的关键前期步骤，是任何丰富生物多样性系统的基础。本研究的目的是确定影响科威特地质多样性的地貌限制因素，以及如何将二元地质体测绘作为一种创新的方法，将地质多样性结果与地貌限制同步可视化。地质多样性的评价涉及到地质、地貌、土壤和水文等非生物要素。在科威特等干旱地区，沙尘侵蚀和土壤侵蚀等地貌因素限制了生态系统的恢复能力。因此，在地质多样性分析中考虑这些因素是一件重要的事情。此外，作为一种先进的制图方法，二元地质体测绘应充分利用地质多样性结果与地貌约束之间的整合。在我们应用基于质心的地质多样性指数分析后，排除限制区域，结果表明，高地质多样性指数覆盖了科威特约10%的面积，主要分布在科威特湾北部和该国中部。将地理多样性指数与二元地图上的地貌约束条件相结合，发现除受限制区域外，约11.8%的最佳地点被建议作为地理保护地点。尽管在干旱地区进行地质多样性评估具有重要意义，但考虑到可能限制特定区域受保护土地适宜性的地貌制约因素也很重要。

Advanced digital tools in landscape architecture are mostly limited to visualization and presentation of alternatives. However, they can potentially be used in different design stages. In this paper, we propose a method to approach a design problem as a multi-objective problem (MOP) and integrate advanced digital techniques into an automated landscape design framework to exploit their superior computational capabilities. We combined geographic information system (GIS) tools for mapping of the site, 3D Isovists for analyses, and a meta-heuristic method (constrained Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-2 or NSGA-II), to search in the continuous solution space (fitness landscape). The case study was an urban park in Tehran, Iran, and the focus was on spatial-visual characteristics of the green space. The results showed that the NSGA-2 was able to solve the complex design problem with 185 trees and 66 observers. The algorithm produced a Pareto-frontier consisting of four optimal solutions that, compared to the existing state of the park, showed more than 18% and 12 % improvement according to Tree View and Building View, respectively. These results confirmed the applicability of our proposed semi-automated design framework. This study is of interest to both professional practitioners and academics of landscape architecture since it can help bridge the gap between scientific assessment and its application in real-world design studies. The proposed method can be further developed to take other design considerations into account and also has the potential to be of use in other related design fields.

景观设计中先进的数字工具大多局限于可视化和替代方案的呈现。然而，它们可以潜在地用于不同的设计阶段。在本文中，我们提出了一种将设计问题作为多目标问题（MOP）来处理的方法，并将先进的数字技术集成到自动化景观设计框架中，以利用其优越的计算能力。我们将地理信息系统（GIS）工具用于绘制站点，3D等观分析和元启发式方法（约束非支配排序遗传算法-2或NSGA-II）相结合，在连续解空间（适应度景观）中进行搜索。本案例以伊朗德黑兰的一个城市公园为研究对象，重点关注绿地的空间视觉特征。结果表明，NSGA-2能够解决具有185棵树和66个观察者的复杂设计问题。该算法产生了一个由四个最优解组成的帕累托边界，与公园的现有状态相比，根据树视图和建筑视图，分别显示了超过18%和12%的改善。这些结果证实了我们提出的半自动设计框架的适用性。这项研究引起了景观设计专业从业者和学者的兴趣，因为它可以帮助弥合科学评估与其在实际设计研究中的应用之间的差距。建议的方法可以进一步发展，以考虑到其他设计因素，也有可能在其他相关的设计领域使用。

Urban parks significantly enhance the urban residents' quality of life, offering spaces for recreation that positively impact physical and mental well-being. This comprehensive study, involving 400 diverse respondents, delves into urban park usage, visitor preferences, and attributes, shedding light on their crucial role in urban planning and community welfare. Demographic factors such as age, gender, religion, education, and health were analyzed, underscoring the importance of inclusive park design. Most participants frequented parks, favoring walking, biking, and motorbikes for transportation. While accessibility generally received positive feedback, some respondents faced challenges due to long travel times, hinting at potential distribution disparities. The study also explored willingness to pay for park access, revealing varying pricing opinions and aiding in sustainable park management decisions. Satisfaction levels varied across parks, with higher scores associated with diverse green spaces, well-maintained facilities, and safety measures. Preferences were influenced by factors like distance and cost. Structural diversity analysis highlighted varying degrees of diversity among parks, emphasizing the importance of diverse amenities, accessible design, and sustainable management practices.

The current trend in education is to adopt a direct and efficient system that adapts to the needs of students at all levels. This approach emphasizes the importance of creating an accessible and enjoyable learning environment that integrates with the social context. The main purpose of this study is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the educational contribution of UGGps, irrespective of their level, origin, or purpose of visit, beyond the acquisssition of knowledge. The UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGGps) are recognized as educational models in the field of geosciences and sustainability due to their territorial management plan and purpose. This study examines the activities carried out in the Arouca and Estrela UGGps in Portugal, using validated questionnaires to gather feedback from students and teachers. The analysis aims to identify the strengths, challenges, and overall effectiveness of these UGGps as an alternative approach to multidisciplinary education. With a total sample of 325 students and 167 teachers, the results, from the students and teachers perspective, show a positive and valid environment for multilevel education reflected on a positive answer rate of 86% among students and 88% among teachers. As it is shown in the results, UGGps are valid territories for multilevel teaching of Earth Sciences and many other subjects. This conclusions represent a great opportunity to promote heritage protection and sustainable development education from these territories, something that, in fact, is extremely relevant in the social context in which we find ourselves.

The main purpose of this study was the development of a methodology to assess the potential impacts of forest fires on geoheritage through a systematic and practical approach. The proposed methodology was applied to the geoheritage of the Estrela UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) in Portugal, following a forest fire in August 2022 that affected approximately 15% of its geosites (22 out of 147). A total of 20 geosites were selected for analysis, including eight directly impacted by the fire and 12 that remained unaffected. The assessment framework integrates vulnerability and hazard factors. Vulnerability was quantified based on two primary criteria: geosites value and their educational and touristic uses. Each criterion was operationalized through defined parameters and indicators, supported by standardized guidelines for evaluation. Forest fire hazard data were obtained from the Portuguese Institute for the Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF). The degradation risk was calculated as a function of these two factors. The results indicate that the highest vulnerability level identified was “low,” signifying the absence of substantial loss in scientific value. However, discernible impacts on cultural, scenic and ecological values, and on educational/touristic uses were observed across most geosites. The maximum degradation risk was classified as “medium,” suggesting that the predominant granite and glacial landforms within the study area exhibit a relatively high degree of resilience to forest fire-induced damage. The findings underscore the importance of implementing targeted management strategies to mitigate the impacts of forest fires within the Estrela UGGp. Moreover, the methodology offers a transferable framework for geoheritage degradation risk assessment, which could be applied in diverse contexts to further enhance the understanding and conservation of geoheritage.

本研究的主要目的是开发一种方法，通过系统和实用的方法来评估森林火灾对地质遗产的潜在影响。2022年8月，葡萄牙Estrela联合国教科文组织世界地质公园（UGGp）发生森林火灾，约15%的地质遗址（147个地质遗址中的22个）受到影响，该方法被应用于该地质遗产。共有20个地质点被选中进行分析，其中包括8个直接受火灾影响的地点和12个未受影响的地点。评估框架综合了脆弱性和危险因素。脆弱性根据两个主要标准进行量化：地质遗址价值及其教育和旅游用途。每个标准都是通过定义的参数和指标来实施的，并得到标准化评价准则的支持。森林火灾危险数据是从葡萄牙自然和森林保护研究所（ICNF）获得的。将退化风险作为这两个因素的函数进行计算。结果表明，确定的最高脆弱性级别为“低”，这表明没有实质性的科学价值损失。然而，大多数地质遗址对文化、景观和生态价值，以及教育/旅游用途的影响都是显而易见的。最大退化风险被分类为“中等”，这表明研究区域内主要的花岗岩和冰川地貌对森林火灾造成的破坏表现出相对较高的恢复能力。研究结果强调了实施有针对性的管理战略以减轻Estrela ugp内森林火灾影响的重要性。此外，该方法为地质遗产退化风险评估提供了一个可转移的框架，可应用于不同的环境，以进一步提高对地质遗产的认识和保护。
