Geodiversity and geotourism utilization of islands: Gwanmae Island of South Korea

---

The island area has well preserved geodiversity and biodiversity due to minimal exposure
to humans. UNESCO has maintained things and sites with geological importance as geoheritage.
Although a number of natural heritages and national parks exist on ‘geological’ bases, geodiversity
concepts are less concerned about biodiversity due to a lack of recognition. Recently, geotourism
linked to geodiversity has been activated in worldwide and geopark programs have been established
in many countries. These precedents offer good chances for the use of geoheritage and preservation
of geodiversity. Geopark programs can lead to the preservation of geodiversity and public geoeducation
through tour of geosites. In particular, it is necessary to understand oceanic nature and culture
including islands through geoeducation programs used by geodiversity of islands. Gwanmae
Island is the first luxury village named by the Korea National Park Service. This study suggests
plans of geotourism by geosites with noticeable geodiversity of the island.
