[MZZ45-P08] Connecting Naeba-Sanroku Geopark With the Future
December 2024 marked the 10th year since the Naeba-Sanroku Geopark was certified as a Japan Geopark. Based on the above theme, we will introduce two programs of Naeba-Sanroku Geopark.
1. Learning About the Global Environment in Connection to the Future
The rapid changes in the global environment, especially global warming, show no signs of stopping. Not only in Japan, but all over the world, there is no end to the damage caused by heavy rains and huge typhoons. In particular, carbon dioxide emissions show no signs of decreasing despite the establishment of an international framework.
Specifically, a lecture was held to consider the current situation and problems of the global environment related to global warming. The next day, we went trekking to learn about changes in the natural world from the appearance of plants (trees, etc.) and animals, recognize the damaged global environment, and think about how to deal with it. From outdoor observations, we were able to experience tangible changes in the autumn leaves of trees.
2. Learning About Universal Tourism at Naeba-Sanroku Geopark to Maintain Geopark Sites
Universal design initiatives are essential for the development of the geopark. The reason is that some geo sites related to topography, geology, and geography are difficult for people with physical disabilities to access. Therefore, we invited two people from an organization that is working to promote universal design to our geopark.
After the demonstration, we learned about the need for geo tours that can accommodate "everyone," from "people with disabilities" to "everyone," and the importance of aiming for a cooperative society. At Naeba-Sanroku Geopark, we will continue to consider the issues and direction of universal tourism.
