The City Council of Segovia, as part of the Second Environmental Education Strategy of the Autonomous Region of Castile & Leon (Spain), together with the Geological Survey of Spain (Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, IGME), has developed a research project to implement the management of urban geoheritage in the Department of the Environment, with the integration of other council departments. Top ten areas, called ELIGES (Spanish acronym for Areas with Geosites for Environmental Education in the city of Segovia, Spain), have been selected from the 94 geosites previously identified for this city. The assessment method was developed specifically with the idea of using geoheritage for environmental education and geotourism at the local level. The assessment criteria used were (1) Value for environmental education (Ved); (2) Scientific value (Vsc); (3) Tourism value (Vtr); (4) Safety and accessibility (Vsa); (5) Conservation and site sustainability (Vcs) and (6) Value of the geosite’s environmental information for geotourism (Vti). These criteria have been assessed for the 94 geosites in the city of Segovia, each of which in turn includes four subcriteria to minimise subjectivity in the decision-making process. Environmental challenges transmitted by the ELIGES are global change and climate change (sea level, temperature changes and extreme storms), geohazards (mainly floods, landslides and rockfalls), groundwater contamination, extinction of species, impacts caused by the exploitation of raw materials, degradation of rocks by pollution in monuments, the harmful and damaging effects of naturally occurring radon on human health and recommendations for collecting and trading movable geological heritage. Understanding the city’s geological past and present through environmental education and geotourism using ELIGES makes all stakeholders more resilient when tackling important issues in our society such as global change and its effects on the urban ecosystem and people.

塞戈维亚市议会，作为卡斯蒂利亚-莱昂自治区（西班牙）第二个环境教育战略的一部分，与西班牙地质调查局（IGME西班牙地理研究所和西班牙国家地质研究所）共同开发了一项研究项目，旨在在理事会其他部门的整合下，在环境部中实施城市地质遗产管理。从先前为该市确定的94个地理位置中，选出了前十个地区，称为ELIGES（西班牙缩写为塞哥维亚市环境教育地理位置的地区）。该评估方法是专门针对在地方一级使用地质遗产进行环境教育和地质旅游的想法而开发的。使用的评估标准是：（1）对环境教育的价值（Ved）；（2）科学价值（Vsc）；（3）旅游价值（Vtr）；（4）安全和可达性（Vsa）；（5）保护和场地可持续性（Vcs），以及（6）地理环境环境信息对地质旅游的价值（Vti）。已针对塞哥维亚市的94个地理位置对这些标准进行了评估，每个地理位置依次包含四个子标准，以最大程度地减少决策过程中的主观性。ELIGES传递的环境挑战是全球变化和气候变化（海平面，温度变化和极端风暴），地质灾害（主要是洪水，山体滑坡和崩塌），地下水污染，物种灭绝，原材料开采造成的影响，退化纪念碑污染造成的岩石堆积，天然ra对人体健康的有害和破坏性影响，并建议收集和交易可移动的地质遗迹。使用ELIGES通过环境教育和地质旅游了解城市的过去和现在的地质状况，使所有利益相关者在解决社会中的重要问题（例如全球变化及其对城市生态系统和人类的影响）时更具弹性。
