This article presents a new Urban Geoheritage Assessment Model (UGAM) for the tourism potential of urban geoheritage. The model was applied to the well-known archaeological site Felix Romuliana (Serbia), so as to determine if the site has the potential to become an urban geosite. To support the UGAM model, a mineralogical-petrographical examination of the building stone available to visitors (both on the site and in the Zaječar National Museum) was carried out, and geological outcrops near the site were ...

UGAM Method
In this section, the newly proposed UGAM will be pre-
sented in detail (Table 1). The preliminary urban geoher-
itage assessment model (UGAM) represents a mixture
of existing geoheritage assessment models, adapted ...

groups of indicators, but include 12 subindicators. Based
on this, UGAM can be defined by using the following
equation:
UGAM = UGV + TV ()
Because each of the given indicators consists of subindi-
cators, indicators can be presented as follows: ...
