GEOMORPHOLOGICAL HERITAGE ASSESSMENT USING GIS ANALYSIS FOR GEOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN MACIN MOUNTAINS, DOBROGEA, ROMANIA.

Our study follow the assessment of geomorphological heritage of the Macin Mountains for geotourism development in the area. In order to analyze geomorphological features of this area and to achieve a digital map, we created a GIS databases comprising topographic map sheets, digital ortophotos and satellite images. Using these datasets the main geomorphologic features were extracted. As a result of this study we combined the most representative elements of the topography and we realized a digital map of landforms with geotouristic potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
