[O06-P01] Fails of Shirataki Geopark –Why our geopark received a “yellow card” on the revalidated process-
Keywords:ravalidation process, yellow card, working team
Shirataki Geopark, northern Hokkaido, Japan, was validated as National Geopark on 2010. However, on the revalidation process on 2014, we were informed to take appropriate steps within a two-year period (so-called “yellow card”). Then, on 2016 we were revalidated as National Geopark for a further four-year period (so-called “green card”).
After the revalidation process on 2014, we took an appropriate step to solve the problems about “examination of management structure” and “institution of master and annual plans”. In this study, we summarize the reason why our geopark received a “yellow card” on 2014, and how efforts we took to develop our geopark during 2 years.
