Geoconservation has been growing in importance within the environmental management context. The conservation of geological heritage is being more and more recognised as an essential issue in nature conservation. Inventories of geosites are considered basic steps in geoconservation strategies and constitute a tool to support management considering the sites’ values, use potential and risks of degradation. There are dozens of proposed methods to create inventories and to perform qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the sites and there are still discussions concerning the issues of how to select and evaluate sites and provide management guidelines. Geomorphosites are geosites with geomorphological nature and it is a category that presents some peculiarities highlighted in the literature. This work aimed at proposing a method for inventorying and assessing geomorphosites designed for territorial management focused on the use potential of the sites, divided into scientific, educational and geotouristic uses, the promotion conditions and the risks of degradation. The method was applied to the southeast coast of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, which has a high geomorphological diversity. The result was the creation of an inventory of geomorphosites in which all sites were described and quantitatively assessed, creating a product that can be easily applied in the management of the sites. The objective of this work was to contribute to the methodological discussions and to strengthen the insertion of geoconservation on territorial management.

地貌遗址清查和评估的方法建议：专注于领土管理和地理保护的综合方法

地理保护在环境管理背景下变得越来越重要。地质遗产的保护越来越被认为是自然保护中的一个重要问题。地质遗址清单被认为是地质保护战略的基本步骤，并构成了一种支持管理考虑遗址价值、使用潜力和退化风险的工具。有数十种建议的方法来创建清单以及对场地进行定性和定量评估，并且仍在讨论如何选择和评估场地以及提供管理指南的问题。地貌岩是具有地貌性质的岩土岩，它是一个具有文献中突出显示的一些特性的类别。这项工作旨在提出一种用于领土管理的地貌地貌的清查和评估方法，重点关注场地的使用潜力，分为科学、教育和地质旅游用途、促进条件和退化风险。该方法应用于地貌多样性较高的巴西里约热内卢州东南沿海地区。其结果是创建了一个地貌遗址清单，其中对所有遗址进行了描述和定量评估，从而创建了一种可以轻松应用于遗址管理的产品。这项工作的目的是促进方法论的讨论并加强地理保护对领土管理的插入。
