On the Minami Alps Geopark website, an easy 4-frame comic strip on earth science or the geosites has been posted about once a week since January, 2016. As the comic strips became popular, we made a booklet printed with 26 comic strips, chosen from the 50 posted in 2016, and the further information and maps together. We plan to give the booklets to the school children in the geopark area and participants in geopark events.
The Minami Alps Geopark website, opened in 2011 and modified in 2014, was totally renewed in March, 2017. Improved points are: better maps for model journeys, linking with social networking sites, opening of the smartphone site, changes to appealing pictures and layouts, and so on. The new website is expected to attract outdoor people with less interest in geoparks.
