The Unzen Volcanic Area Grobal Geopark is the pioneer of Japanese geoparks, located in central Kyushu Island, southwest Japan. However, a large proportion of local university students do not recognize it. I have lectured physical geography in the University of Nagasaki for three years, including a topic of geopark and field works around the geopark. Also I assigned a report on finding and explaining a local geo-site for students. Image of geopark for university students will be outlined and categolized by subjects, base on totally more than 250 reports.
