On the System Rebuilding for the Integration of Geoparks into National park under Reform Background
This research is to compare the origins,goals,domestic and international development status and trends of geoparks with the overall goals of establishment of a national park system in China and related matters,and to explore the forward-looking issues and solutions for the integration of geoparks into national park system. The conclusions are as follows:①Geopark is currently the most nature reserve with close similarity to national park concepts,standards,and functions,and it is entirely possible to achieve a fusion of the both. ②To protect geosites,establishment of a geopark is an international action,with quite professional features,but ignored by all the parties with academic interests. ③Under the goal of reform,the future role and status of a global geopark,the perspective of national geoparks,and the continued development of geo-tourism and geoheritage protection are requiring the dual-track operation of geoparks and national parks. ④"Multiple designations to a type of park"may not necessarily produce a multi-headed management,so"geopark brand"may be considered as a function management so as to break the contradiction between the new system and the old geopark system. ⑤In terms of the fusion of management system,to achieve overall conservation through unified administration,to realize professional protection through functional management,to perform departmental participation through segment management,all would be imperative for the system rebuilding,for the integration of geoparks into national park under reform background.
