ABSTRACT
Absolute commitment to palaeontological and geological heritage preservation has always been a priority for the Palaeontological Museum of Elche (MUPE)-Cidaris Foundation. It is in this context that a work strategy in which heritage assessment is conceived as a management tool has been developed: FOPALI. Its methodological bases and applied analysis techniques are exposed here. FOPALI model has been designed to provide a guideline to help heritagemanagers prioritize.
Key words: Geological and palaeontological heritage, heritage assessment, heritage management.
