Evaluation of Geological Heritage

This is one of the evaluation methods for tourism resources. The evaluated object is controlled by several factors. Each factor can be sub-divided into several levels, and each level is given a score index and a weight value. The figures are then used in a mathematical model to calculate the total score of a scene, attraction, scenic site or geopark. The total score indicates the value of the landscape tourism resource. The quantitative evaluation model has several problems in actual operation. Its basic formula is $\sum \limits_{i=1}^n{w}_i{a}_i$_. where n is the number of indicators under each resource to be evaluated, W_i is the weight, and a_i is the standard value set by the evaluation index. The total score is the weighted sum of the values of a_i. The value is usually expressed as a percentage; the greater the value is, the higher the level of the resource will be. Quantitative evaluation methods applied to determine the weights and indicators of the standard values may subject...
