Despite the importance of geoheritage as an interdisciplinary geo-based topic, it is poorly documented as a tool of harmonious socioeconomic development and territorial strategic planning. The promotion of this natural resource in rural areas of the southern Mediterranean may strengthen social resilience and consolidate management strategies if it is conducted according to a responsible and sustainable approach that takes account of local specificities. Here, an exhaustive, multi-criteria and qualitative assessment of the geomorphological sites of the large Alpine Rif belt was established to assess their scientific and additional values based on a widely adopted score ranking method. Later, a restricted list was established of the most outstanding sites based on qualitative conditions. This list contains 39 sites which may be linked in three thematic geocircuits to serve as gathering points for initiatives and development projects. We anticipate that this may create an economic diversity to revive a social fabric capable of satisfying its needs and expectations, reducing the gap and inequalities between disadvantaged rural areas upstream and industrialized urban areas downstream, and inspiring a benign and balanced development.

尽管地理遗产作为跨学科的基于地理的主题很重要，但很少有人将其作为社会经济和谐发展和领土战略规划的工具进行记录。在地中海南部的农村地区推广这种自然资源，如果采用负责任的，可持续的方法并考虑到当地的特殊性，则可以增强社会适应力并巩固管理战略。在此，对大型高山Rif带的地貌站点进行了详尽，多准则和定性的评估，以基于广泛采用的得分排名方法评估其科学价值和附加价值。后来，根据定性条件，对最杰出的站点建立了限制列表。该列表包含39个站点，这些站点可以链接到三个主题地理回路中，以充当计划和开发项目的聚集点。我们预计，这可能会创造一种经济多样性，以复兴能够满足其需求和期望的社会结构，缩小上游处于不利地位的农村地区和下游处于工业化城市地区之间的差距和不平等现象，并激发良性和平衡的发展。
