GEOARCHAEOSITES FOR GEOTOURISM: A SPATIAL ANALYSIS FOR RARH BENGAL IN INDIA
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2019, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Rarh Bengal in India is a well known lateritic landscape endowed with a number of geoarchaeological sites. Research gaps have been identified in the systematic mapping and location analysis on the nature of distributional pattern of such geoarchaeosites from the perspective of planning a number of geotourism circuits. With application of nearest neighbour analysis and GIS based digital cartography, this paper is an attempt to analyze space-time dimensions of geosites bearing the traces of past lives with special concentration on our predecessors. With the application of network analysis, shortest route planning is obtained for sustainable tourist movement.
