Abstract
A series of case studies is presented showing how units defined on the basis of geological-geomorphological criteria can be used for summarizing information about a great variety of environmental parameters and for the assessment of many qualities of interest for planning and decision-making. These qualities refer to both geological and non-geological aspects. The utilization of geoenvironmental units for the establishment of land-use regulations, for planning management actions and for evaluation of some economic aspects is also illustrated.
