| Descripción: | This paper presents the implementation of a methodology for geomorphosites assessment in Costa Rica-taking the Poás Volcano National Park as study area. The objective is to evaluate the existing geomorphosites inside this protected area using a methodology of geomorphosites assessment. This methodology consists of a comparison of scientific values, added values, and use and management values present in the geomorphosites. It is determined that the Poás Volcano National Park has diverse formations that could be considered as geomorphosites. Moreover, it has several values added that denote the importance that volcano has for Costa Rican people. The methodology used in this work can be used in other territories and can be used to contribute to Land Use Planning in Costa Rica. |
