【摘要】Geomorphological mapping plays a key role in landscape representation:it is the starting point for many applications and for the realization of thematic maps,such as hazard and risk maps,geoheritage and geotourism maps.Traditional geomorphological maps are useful for scientific purposes but they need to be simplified for different aims as management and education.In tourism valorization,mapping of geomorphological resources (i.e.,geosites,and geomorphosites),and of geomorphic evidences of past hazardous geomorphological events,is important for increasing knowledge about landscape evolution and active processes,potentially involving geomorphosites and hiking trails.Active geomorphosites,as those widespread in mountain regions,testify the high dynamicity of geomorphic processes and their link with climatic conditions.In the present paper,we propose a method to produce and to update cartographic supports (Geomorphological Boxes)realized starting from a traditional geomorphological survey and
