This article discuss some concepts to introduce in geosciences vision from a land use and regional planning point of view. Those aspects looks for a satisfactory land use distribution, based on a more endogenous territo
rial development with a bigger involvement of natural potentialities, stakeholders participation on decisionmaking process and availability of information even limited on quality. For geoscientists, a development process of tools is necessary to improve the integration of physical environment knowledge on land use planning. From a scientist - decision-maker interface (or gap) point of view, a three phases general methodology is proposed including: natural potential assessment in terms of environmental value, prospective analysis and criteria for alternative choice. This article concentrate in the first of them. The concept of geopotential is developed. Following a dynamic or constructivist perspective of environment, the question of geopotential value emphasize on social needs or expectations. Four measurements of environmental values are proposed : ¨minimum needs¨ value, strategic value, patrimonial value and sensitivity value. New maps and documents are produced as a tool to facilitate decisions and communication between scientist and stakeholders. Flexibility of such a methodological approach permits to consider its application to different contexts, with differences in needs and information availability, on mountainous regions of Colombia and even Latin America.
