Why is it important?

Anthropogenic landforms have a huge potential for geotourism and geoeducation and especially within urban areas, they represent an alternative to the traditional tourist attractions.

Perspectives

In the future, an assessment of geotourist and geoeducational potential of anthropogenic landforms (resp. secondary geodiversity features) should be done and the results of such assessment will be used as a basis for sustainable and suitable management of these features. The article can serve as an inspiration for similar projects within other towns and cities.
