This paper presents an inventory and quantitative assessment of 46 geosites, which compose the geological heritage of the municipality of Cacapava do Sul, important center of geoscience research in the Rio Grande do Sul State. The selected sites comprise large areas, single outcrops and potential highway viewpoints that represent the four main geological contexts of the considered territory. The applied quantitative assessment system considers six sets of criteria: geoscience, ecology, culture, esthetics, economy and potential use. Its application results in educational (V educ ), tourist (V tur ) and protection need (V prot ) indexes in the scale from 1 to 10, for each of the geosites. The study highlighted the sites Pedras das Guaritas , Pedra do Segredo , and Pedra do Leao as having great potential for education and tourism, as well as for outdoor sports. Sites with conflict between geoheritage significance and economic exploration, as the Caieiras and Minas do Camaqua mining districts, resulted in the most expressive protection need indexes. The obtained results allowed the definition and suggestion of priorities for public, private, and third-sector institutions concerning possible geoconservation initiatives. Such initiatives shall integrate education, tourism, infrastructure development, and the establishment of protected areas for this region of singular natural heritage with a huge potential for sustainable development.
