The UNESCO Global Geopark network is expanding. Geoparks are intended to play important roles in sustainable development. For this to happen, new sites geopark establishment need to be carefully evaluated. In addition, protection and maintenance of heritage and sustainability within established geoparks requires effective monitoring. Modern geographic information system (GIS) technologies have a lot to offer for effective landscape-scale assessments and monitoring of geo park territories. However, little attention seems to be paid so far to these opportunities. Thus, the aim of this paper is to highlight potential applications of modern GIS technology tools for enhanced quality of landscape-level assessment and monitoring that could enhance potential of the geo park network to contribute to sustainable development goals. Conceptual research methodology has been applied in order to explore concepts that are not yet discussed in existing scientific literature and to propose novel insights. Given the global scale of the UNESCO initiative GIS tools need to be applied both in developed and developing countries. Funding source restrictions in the latter counties may be considered a constraint to GIS application. However, modern technologies and software are becoming increasingly affordable, and the most cost effective solutions are considered in this article.
