Abstract The Sokobanja basin is an area in Eastern Serbia with diverse geological and geomorphological features. Also, it is an area with developed spa tourism. The Sokobanja basin has numerous geoheritage features, which tourist potential has not been discovered yet. In this article, several geosites were analyzed, which present significant geoheritage formations. Geosites were selected by authors of this article based on the degree of their attractiveness for the geotourism development. The main goal of this article is to emphasize the geotourism potential of the Sokobanja basin and to determine the current state and geotourism potential of evaluated geosites by applying the modified geosite assessment model (M-GAM). A total of seven geosites were evaluated throughout the basin. The values of the investigated parameters were entered into the matrix of the M-GAM based on the number of points. Based on the research and the results obtained, it can be concluded that the Sokobanja basin has the potential for the development of geotourism, but it is necessary to improve additional values to become a true geotourism destination.

旅游潜力评估中的 M-GAM 方法：以塞尔维亚东部 Sokobanja 盆地为例

摘要 索科巴尼亚盆地是塞尔维亚东部的一个地区，具有多种地质和地貌特征。也是温泉旅游发达的地区。索科巴尼亚盆地具有众多地质遗迹特征，尚未发现其旅游潜力。在本文中，对几个地质遗址进行了分析，这些地质遗址呈现出重要的地质遗迹构造。本文作者根据其对地质旅游发展的吸引力程度选择了地质景点。本文的主要目标是强调 Sokobanja 盆地的地质旅游潜力，并通过应用修改后的地质遗址评估模型 (M-GAM) 确定评估地质遗址的现状和地质旅游潜力。整个盆地共评估了七个地质站点。根据点的数量将研究参数的值输入到 M-GAM 的矩阵中。根据研究和获得的结果，可以得出结论，Sokobanja盆地具有发展地质旅游的潜力，但需要提高附加值才能成为真正的地质旅游目的地。
