摘要
ジオパークは，地形・地質遺産が主となって構成されるが，特に，これまで日本のジオパークでは地質公園的な側面が強く現れていた．Global Geoparks Networkのガイドラインでは，地形・地質のほか，生態系，考古，歴史，文化的価値を持つものの重要性も述べられている．それらは地理学的視点によって関連性を科学的に整理し理解することが重要である．地理学の成果にもとづいて，それぞれのジオパークのストーリー，ナラティブが構築されれば，その地域で発生している問題の解決の糸口を与えることになるだろう．そうすることにより，ジオパークの活動が持続可能な発展を目指すものとなる．
A geopark is a territory consisting of nature and culture which highlights the geological and geomorphological heritage of the site. Some stakeholders and shareholders in the Japanese Geoparks Network have the misunderstanding that a geopark is a geological park, because geologists have played important roles from the beginning of the geopark movement in Japan. The Global Geoparks Network guidelines, however, state that geoparks must have ecological, archaeological, historical, and cultural value. A geographical perspective is useful and important for understanding the relationship between nature and culture. A geostory and/or geonarrative created by geographical research in each geopark provide telling clues about the resolution of local issues. The result is that the geopark movement affects sustainable regional development.
