Methods for quantitatively assessing geological heritage have been used in a variety of settings and for different purposes, such as environmental impact assessment, inventory of natural heritage, tourism promotion, and conservation unit management. In this sense, there are adaptations to each study in relation to the methodology and the regional context in which the research is developed, and the final objective. This research proposes a methodology for taking inventory with the goal of analyzing the landscape while adhering to the concepts and parameters that allow for the assessment of geoheritage. In addition to reviewing the literature, the Delphi method was used in 2020 email consultations with 76 experts on geoheritage and landscape. It is expected that, when using the proposed inventory, managers will be able to identify places with better scientific possibilities in the use of landscape in relation to geoheritage, which will be useful when reviewing city planning and management planning of conservation units under the scope of geoconservation.
