The analysis of geo-morphosites as a method used to
appreciate the value of geomorphological sites is one of the most
accurate methods one can use, as it relies on their comparison and on
their integration into a series of patterns that largely eliminate
subjectivism and errors. There are several approaches in the evaluation
of geo-morphosites, known by the name of those who initiated them (E.
Reynard, J. P. Pralong etc.) and they can be applied as such or can be
adapted according to the specific features of the region that the geo- morphosites belong to, as well as according to the purpose of their
analysis (scientific, touristic, economic etc.). In the present study, we
have tried to identify the sites with a glacial and periglacial genesis of a
scientific, economic and tourist interest from the upper basin of Ialomiţa
River, using the Pralong method. The application of the evaluation
criteria (scenic, scientific, cultural and economic) have allowed us to
obtain global values for the geo-morphosites in the area under analysis,
which later on could be used in the framework of the Bucegi Massif and
then could be compared to others from the Romanian Carpathians
(Ciucaş, Ceahlău etc.).
