SUMMARY:

Geodiversity is a recent term academically, gaining notoriety mainly from the 1990s, it is considered in the present work according to the concept of Gray (2013, p. 12) who defines geodiversity as “the natural range (diversity) of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms, topography, physical processes), soil and hydrological characteristics. It includes their sets, structures, systems and contributions to landscapes”. Several values can be identified linked to geodiversity, such as economic, scientific, aesthetic, cultural, tourist value and others, with this discussion basing the notion of heritage, of a geoheritage (geoheritage) establishing methods for the selection of sites of greatest geological interest , geomorphological, hydrological, etc., for a geoconservation or geotourism proposal. The geoheritage is subdivided into some branches, with a specific focus on some areas. The present study aims to carry out an inventory and quantification of places of interest in the geomorphological heritage of Porto do Mangue and Macau/RN. Following the methodology developed by Araújo (2021), with occasional changes, the process of inventorying the places of interest was initiated, with a total of eight sites with geomorphological potential being identified, namely (Hypersalino Desert, Falésias do Rosado, Dunas do Rosado, Estuário do Rio das Conchas, Camapum Beach, Ponta do Tubarão Estuary, Mangue Seco Dome and Macau Magmatism). Based on the inventory, a quantitative assessment of the sites was carried out, in which all with the exception of the Domo do Mangue Seco were considered as geomorphossites due to their scientific or aesthetic value. The tabulation of the information obtained in the quantitative assessment made it possible to build an important database regarding the particularities of the abiotic environment of the study area, making it possible to analyze in an integrated or singular way the geomorphological heritage of the study area, such as the value geomorphological site, in which the Macau Magmatism site obtained the highest degree of relevance, or the general ranking, in which it exhibits the most important geomorphosite in the area represented by the Ponta do Tubarão Estuary site. Finally, the material developed in the research provides a very important data base, both of a methodological and procedural nature, with the results being able to serve as a basis for the promotion of geotourism, as well as for the creation of areas aimed at the preservation of sites and concomitant geoconservation.
