| description | With complex geology and different geomorphology structure, climatic diversity, numerous islands and spiral coastline, Iran offers great variety of natural landscapes. This paper discusses a comparative assessment of geomorphosites located within the Poldokhtar area using Zouros and Comanescu methods. In this study based on field trips, Geomorphological values were evaluated and compared using six criteria in Zouros method and five criteria in Comanescu method. After identifying 37 geomorphosites in the region, 13 were selected based on the principal characteristics and added value. The assessment results showed that geomorphosites of this region can be divided into two main groups. The first groups are based on Comanescu method which consisted of five sites with high total value and the second group consists of eight sites with average value. In Zouros method the first group consisted of four sites with high value and the second groups are nine sites with average value. In order to protect identified geomorphosites and ensure appropriate management, the establishment of Seymare protected area is proposed. This proposal consists of a collection of diverse and spectacular geomorphosites. |
