Evaluation the Role of Geomorphologic processes in the Formation of geomorphosites of Manesht, Bankol and Qelarang protected areas using Perira method

In this research, the geomorphosites of the protected area of Manhest, Bangkok and Qelarang were studied using the Perira method. In this method, the geomorphologic value of geomorphosites was identified using scientific and additional values. Management value was derived from two values of Protection value and Use value and from the sum of the two values of geomorphology and management, the final value of each geomorphsites was obtained. For this reason, the principal indicator ‘geomorphological value’ includes the secondary indicators ‘scientific value’ and ‘additional values’. ‘Management value’, as second principal indicator, integrates the secondary indicators ‘use value’ and ‘protection value’. The sum of all indicators determines the total value of the Geomorphosite. The results of this research show that the Arghavan Geomorphsite ranked 1 in the TV index, but in the final ranking or index (RK) ranked 6. The highest score in the Geomorphological section (8.04) was attributed to the Mannesht and Qalarag and the highest weighting in the management section with a score of 4.0 was attributed to the Arghavan geomorphosite. In the ranking table derived from the calculation of the indexes (main and sub) with the title of ranking (RK), Abdallan geomorphosite with the total value of 35 was the highest value among the six selected geomorphosites in the studied area.
