[MIS23-10] Proposing to geopark area setting and the satellite geosite, based on the earth scientific view.

*Ryusuke IMURA1 (1.Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Kagoshima Univ.)

Keywords:geopark, satellite geosite, earth science

The area setting of geopark in present Japan is often done by the administrative unit excluding the one that the remote island etc. can be divided clearly and geographically. Therefore, judging from the aspect of the earth science, an extremely unnatural area setting is often done. It is a big problem that should be solved to spread the earth science to a general person.
On the other hand, even if the area is set from an earth science aspect, it besides the area might have to be requested for more detailed understanding. We want to propose to set the satellite geosite outside a main area in geopark for that.
