Description
Summary:The objective of this study is to restore the value of Oued Noun Oases that has been less estimated for several centuries, without destroying the collective memory. Our duty is to look through certain models of geotourism and geoheritage practiced elsewhere, which would be the best approach to preserve this natural landscape that has become very fragile. A systematic survey was conducted on several selected geosites, including inventory, characterization, classification, evaluation and appreciation. That is to say, qualitative and quantitative assessments were carried out on the basis of geoheritage values of international significance. This paper is focused on the efforts should be made in all these sites to ameliorate and develop geoheritage and geotourism in Oued Noun Oases. This research is conducted not only for scientific research and indication of sites, but also to developing geological, ecological and cultural infrastructures within the reach of tourists.
