Abstract
The geological landscape concept is introduced to enable the process of characterisation, classification and assessment of the natural landscape to be carried out in a systematic manner based on geological knowledge. Various intrinsic landform values, namely geological terrain, endogenic and exogenic processes, temporal evolution and special geological and geomorphological features, are set forth as basic elements for characterising the geological landscape. This approach facilitates the differentiation and ranking of landscapes, making it easier for planners and landscape managers to strategise and implement the plan for the conservation of landform diversity resources.
