CASE STUDY: BISTRICIOR MASSIF ∗ Ioan BÂCA ∗∗ “Babeş-Bolyai“ University of Cluj-Napoca, Faculty of Geography, Bistriţa Extension, Andrei Mureşanu Street, 3-5, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Călimani National Park belongs to C ălimani Mountains, extends on a surface of 24,041 ha and superposes over the districts of Suceava, Harghita, Mure ş and Bistri Ńa-Năsăud. It conserves elements of flora, fauna and relief that stand out through a very high attractive potential, a fact which determines massive flows of tourists and enables diversified leisure activities. An important role in administrating this protected area, as well as in capitalizing its attractive resources, is given to the process of inventory and assessment of the relief forms with a scientific, aesthetic, cultural, ecologic and economic relevance, and that of the geomorphosites. Henceforth, the present work is meant to assess from this point of view a potential geomorphosite within the C ălimani National Park, namely the Bistricior Massif. As such, an assessment methodology used on an international scale has been applied, and the obtained results plead for granting the status of geomorphosite to the Bistricior massif. This fact is particularly relevant not only for the future touristy development and capitalization strategies, but also for the activities of management and conservation of the natural resources within the above mentioned National Park. Key words: geosites, geomorphosites, assessment criteria, Cusma site, Colibita Depression, Bistricior Massif, Calimani Mountains, Calimani National Park * * * * * * FOREWORD Within the latest two decades, along with the intensified preoccupation for environmental protection and conservation, a new research direction took shape in geomorphology as well, meant to point out the valences of the relief as an element of natural inheritance, which has to be given the same attention as for the biotic components (Panizza and Piacente, 1993; Panizza, 2001; Reynard, 2005; Reynard and Panizza, 2005; Panizza and Piacente, 2008; Ilie ş and Josan, 2009a, 2009b; Reynard and Regolini-Bissig, 2009). Thus there were formulated such concepts as geodiversity, geosite, geolandscape, geotop and geomorphosite, there was established a methodology of research for geodiversity and geomorphosites and there were also elaborated numerous works concerning the inventory, assessment and capitalization of the geomorphosites in different regions of the world, including the Romanian Carpathian mountains. ∗ Corresponding Author http://istgeorelint.uoradea.ro/Reviste/Anale/anale.htm 6 Ioan BÂCA In this context, the present work is meant to continue these preoccupations by bringing into debate the Bistricior Massif from the C ălimani Mountains, within the C ălimani National Park, as a potential geomorphosite (www.calimani.ro). This massif, as a “stand alone” geomorphologic entity, is little known in the specialized literature but is mentioned in different works related
