Mt. Nemrut (Nemrut volcano or caldera) is a quiescent Quaternary volcano situated in Eastern Anatolia (Turkey) near the western shore of Lake Van. The onset of Nemrut volcanism comprised lava flows and the formation of peripheral silicic doming representing the pre-caldera stage. After the syn-caldera stage (caldera-forming), which entailed widespread pyroclastics, the post-caldera stage produced peralkaline-type rocks, ash eruptions, and rift activities with basalt- and rhyolite (comendite)-type lava flows; a lava lake represents the latest volcanic activity (1441, 1597, and 1692 ad). The scope of this study involves building an inventory and assessing the site-specific geodiversity elements of Nemrut volcano that are relevant for geotourism use and geopark development. Nemrut volcano produces diverse abiotic elements with geomorphologic, structural, lithologic, and hydrologic values. The domes (Kirkor and Kale) and the Nemrut camels are geomorphological geosites. The lakes (hot and cold lakes) are hydrological geosites. The rift zone includes geosites with lithologic elements. The Nemrut caldera geosite consists of different amalgamations of abiotic elements. The method of Brilha (2016) was used to assess the geosites of Nemrut volcano. The average scientific value and geotourism use (potential touristic use) scores for all geosites are 3.16 and 2.32, respectively. The scientific values are greatest for the geosites of the caldera (3.60) and the lakes (3.40). The highest geotourism scores match well with the highest scientific value scores, obtained for the caldera and the lakes. The geological diversity indicator, a sub-component of the scientific value, is remarkably high for the caldera geosite (0.2) compared to the other geosites (0.0). The uniqueness (a geo-patrimonial criterion), bio-cultural and aesthetic scores highly influence the geotourism scores for the geosites of the caldera, lakes and rift zone compared to the scores of the other geosites. We propose that Nemrut volcano, and especially the geosites of Nemrut caldera and the lakes, has significant geopark and geoheritage values. Nemrut volcano, a proposed geopark site, exhibits the most recent volcanism in Anatolia and is among the geoparks included in the European Geoparks Network. The volcano is registered as a Ramsar site and supports vulnerable and endangered species (Melanitta fusca and endemic plants). The volcano is also a distinctive cultural landscape with a mythical origin and is relatively close to the touristic sites of the ruins of Urartu, an archaic kingdom in the northern part of the ancient Near East extending into portions of Eastern Anatolia. Due to these cultural assets and geo-assets, Nemrut volcano is a relevant geotouristic destination. The development of this volcano into a geopark may contribute to rural development by increasing local gross domestic product (GDP) in terms of employment and touristic traffic. Additionally, we make some recommendations related to infrastructure, precautions (medical services and a warning system for natural hazards), tourism services and a geopark tourist route to increase the importance of the volcano as a geopark.

公吨。内姆鲁特（内姆鲁特火山或火山口）是一座静止的第四纪火山，位于东安纳托利亚（土耳其），靠近凡湖西岸。内姆鲁特火山活动的开始包括熔岩流和代表火山爆发前阶段的外围硅质圆顶的形成。在伴随着广泛火山碎屑的同火山口阶段（火山口形成）之后，火山口后阶段产生了过碱性型岩石、火山灰喷发和具有玄武岩和流纹岩（comendite）型熔岩流的裂谷活动；一个熔岩湖代表了最新的火山活动（1441，1597，1692和广告）。本研究的范围包括建立清单并评估与地质旅游使用和地质公园开发相关的内姆鲁特火山特定地点的地质多样性元素。内姆鲁特火山产生具有地貌、构造、岩性和水文价值的多种非生物元素。圆顶（Kirkor 和 Kale）和内姆鲁特骆驼是地貌地质遗址。湖泊（热湖和冷湖）是水文地质遗址。裂谷带包括具有岩性元素的地质遗址。Nemrut 火山口地质遗址由非生物元素的不同混合体组成。使用 Brilha (2016) 的方法评估内姆鲁特火山的地质遗址。平均科学价值和地质旅游用途（潜在旅游用途) 所有地质站点的得分分别为 3.16 和 2.32。火山口 (3.60) 和湖泊 (3.40) 地质遗址的科学价值最大。最高的地质旅游分数与火山口和湖泊的最高科学价值分数相匹配。与其他地质遗址 (0.0) 相比，火山口地质遗址 (0.2)的地质多样性指标是科学价值的一个子组成部分，非常高。该独特性（地理遗产标准），与其他地质遗址的分数相比，生物文化和美学分数对火山口、湖泊和裂谷带地质遗址的地理旅游分数有很大影响。我们认为内姆鲁特火山，尤其是内姆鲁特火山口和湖泊的地质遗址，具有重要的地质公园和地质遗产价值。内姆鲁特火山是一个拟建的地质公园遗址，展示了安纳托利亚最近的火山活动，是欧洲地质公园网络中的地质公园之一。该火山被注册为拉姆萨尔湿地，并支持脆弱和濒危物种（Melanitta fusca和地方植物）。这座火山也是一个具有神话起源的独特文化景观，距离乌拉尔图遗址的旅游景点相对较近，乌拉尔图是古代近东北部的一个古老王国，一直延伸到安纳托利亚东部的部分地区。由于这些文化资产和地理资产，内姆鲁特火山是一个相关的地理旅游目的地。将这座火山开发成地质公园可能会通过增加当地的国内生产总值 (GDP) 在就业和旅游交通方面促进农村发展。此外，我们还提出了一些与基础设施、预防措施（医疗服务和自然灾害预警系统）、旅游服务和地质公园旅游路线相关的建议，以提高火山作为地质公园的重要性。
