Description of the research topic:

Geotourism is a branch of tourism which exploits the touristic values of geosites. In order for geological values ​​to be exploited in a sustainable manner, but still in the public domain, it is important to map the geotourism potential of a given area. Among the available methods, geoinformatics plays a prominent role. Due to the complexity of the data used for mapping the geotourism potential and the contradiction of the models used, rapid analysis and comprehensible visualization are not currently feasible within the art. The doctoral research is aimed at this problem. The research is based on a comparison of remote sensed and vector data, or even point-like data collected with analogue methods. Integration of different data enables the development of modeling methods that can be used to produce a geotourism map of the area under investigation. Modeling is based on the spatial variables of the sites, and several thematic variables (eg., geological, geomorphological) play a role in the evaluation. One of the aims of the research is to examine the role (significance) of these thematic variables in modeling and to develop a GIS system that is capable of quickly generating variables and parameters needed for modeling. The developed method can be used in other locations.
