SCHNEIDER, Gonzalo. GEODIVERSITY, GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOTOURISM: TEST CASE IN THE MOUNTAIN AREA OF TANDIL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THEORETICAL REFLECTION. Ser. correl. geol. [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.2, pp.1-10. ISSN 1666-9479.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7738435.

A body of knowledge was systematized, demonstrating the existence of different lines of argument that articulate the concepts of geodiversity, geoconservation and geotourism. In order to generate effective guidelines for the conservation of geodiversity, based on tourist activity, using the Tandil mountain area as a case study of the articulation of the elements in the territory. This is an iconic area within the Serrano de Tandilia System, with an influential ecotourism market, high demand and optimal conditions for the reproduction of capital. The methodology used for the development of the present research con-sisted of: analysis of the tourist inventory of the city of Tandil and its dissemination proclamation; visits and direct participant observation in the sites of interest; interviews with key informants. The following conclusions were reached: The elements of geodiversity, geotourism and geoconservation are articulated and synergistically linked. In the case of the Tandil mountain area, there are no geotourism experiences that value the geodiversity of this area, with geoconservation as a central element. In this context, there is a certain tendency towards commercial tourism or commercial ecotourism and not so much towards tourism developments linked to natural heritage, particularly geological heritage, and on the other hand to historical heritage linked to the geodiversity of the territory In this sense, conflicts arise around ancient quarrying areas. Problems arising from tensions over the land use of these prívate sites, which have been abandoned due to the cessation of mining activities. But with constant recreational use by the local community, becoming dangerous due to the characteristics of the place and the lack of specialised infrastructure. To this must be added factors that make the situation more complex, such as those linked to the legislation in force and the lack of planning and state management. In summary, an in-depth analysis of geoconservation and geotourism can help to im-prove the tourism system in a sustainable and enriching way for all parties involved.
