Abstract:

 The geopark characteristics in selected sites located between Makhul and Khanuqa anticlines and Tigris River. Eight geosites in the study area are evaluated. The assessment and differentiation of the results in the research depended on two methods, Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis and Geosite Assessment Model  Classification. The results were identical in the two methods as the highest score in the two methods for the third and eighth stations and the research was concluded. The application of the Geosite Assessment Model model to one station was explained, which is the first one, Al-Qusour station, in order to clarify how to apply it to the other stations. After the application of the Geosite Assessment Model model to all stations, the results were located in a Geosite Assessment Model matrix in order to know that each station will fall within a certain range. After completing the evaluation of the stations, all stations in the study area are suitable as geopark areas.
