Description
El presente trabajo consistió en la aplicación de una metodología (modificada de Bruschi, 2007) para la selección, evaluación y conservación de Sitios de Interés Geológico en el estado Falcón. Constituye un aporte al conocimiento de la geodiversidad de la región falconiana, conocida solamente por las investigaciones científicas sobre su estratigrafía, paleontología, tectónica entre otras, pero no por la delimitación de sitios con potencial interés para la Geología. Gracias al apoyo de expertos de diferentes disciplinas geológicas con conocimiento del estado Falcón, se obtuvo un listado de 28 sitios en Falcón que fueron sujetos a evaluación mediante procedimientos directos e indirectos para el cálculo del Valor del Sitio de Interés Geológico. Los primeros permitieron totalizar las puntuaciones de los sitios dadas por los expertos y ponderar la cantidad de sitios en función de las veces que éstos fueron citados; con el procedimiento indirecto o paramétrico, se consideraron además de las puntuaciones de los sitios las variables (criterios) que calificaron al sitio y se utilizó Análisis Factorial. También se propusieron alternativas para conservar y preservar los Sitios de Interés Geológico. Al comparar ambos procedimientos, se observó que existe bastante grado de coincidencia, sin embargo, es aconsejable el uso del método paramétrico por ser más confiable y objetivo.

It is a contribution to the knowledge about the variety of the Falcón region, known only by scientific research on its stratigraphy, paleontology, tectonics among others, but not by the delimitation of sites with potential interest for Geology. Thanks to the support of experts from different geological disciplines with knowledge about Falcón State, a list of 28 sites in Falcón that were subject to evaluation through direct and indirect procedures to calculate the Value of Site of Geological Interest was obtained. The first allowed to totalize the scores of the sites given by experts and assess the amount of sites depending on the amount of times they were cited; with the indirect or parametric procedure, the variables (criteria) that rated the site were considered in addition to site scores and Factorial Analysis was used. Also alternatives were given for the conservation and preservation of sites of geological interest. When comparing both procedures, it was evidenced that there is a high coincidence degree, however, it is advisable to use the parametric method as it is more reliable and objective.
