Geological heritage assessment for sustainable development of Lenggong Valley

A quantitative methodology for assessing geosites has been developed, enabling the sustainable management and conservation of geological heritage. This approach evaluates geosites based on multiple value sets—scientific, cultural, ecological, aesthetic, and economic—and ranks them using total scores derived from quantitative analysis. The study applied this method to 13 selected geosites in the Archaeological Heritage of Lenggong Valley, demonstrating its potential for integrating diverse heritage values into conservation strategies.
