用于地质遗产清查的大多数方法没有考虑对地质多样性指标的定量评估；因此，可能会发生一些地质点被错误地列为地质多样性遗址，反之亦然，或者实际上不应该在没有提供要求的地质遗产地中规划用于科学、教育和旅游目的的活动。本文件的主要目的是提高人们对卡拉布里亚-佩洛里塔尼弧形地区(意大利梅西纳省)16个地方适宜用作科学/教育/旅游资产的地质遗产类型的认识。这项研究的主要成果可综合如下：(I)确定几个潜在的具有国际意义的地质遗迹；(Ii)将几个地质遗迹排除在任何可能的教育和旅游举措之外；(Iii)在一些地质遗迹和地质多样性遗址中推广更广泛的教育举措的可能性，这些教育活动最好地面向构造地质学、构造学和地层学的研究生和/或博士生或青年研究人员；(Iv)规划专门研究高山冲断构造和中新世块体旋转涉及弧形结构(如Calabria-Peloritani弧和古生代-中新生代地层学)的地质知识转让的地质路线。
Most methods used for geoheritage inventories do not consider the quantitative assessment of the geodiversity indicators; consequently, it can happen that some geosites are wrongly inventoried as geodiversity sites and vice versa or activities for scientific, educational, and touristic purposes actually should not be planned in geoheritage sites unprovided with requirements. The main aim of the present paper is to raise awareness of the type of geoheritage present in sixteen localities of the Calabria–Peloritani Arc (Messina province; Italy) and suitable for scientific/educational/touristic assets. The main results of the research may be synthesized as follows: (i) identification of several potential geosites of international significance; (ii) exclusion of several geosites from any possible educational and touristic initiatives; (iii) possibility to promote educational initiatives among a broader public in some geosites and geodiversity sites, best addressed to postgraduate geology students in structural geology, tectonics, and stratigraphy, and/or PhD students or young researchers; (iv) planning of a geo route devoted to the geoknowledge transfer on Alpine thrust tectonics and Miocene block rotations involving arc-like structures such as the Calabria–Peloritani Arc and Paleozoic to Meso-Cenozoic stratigraphy.
