Abstract

The far north part of Coromandel Peninsula can be considered a good place for geoeducation and geotourism, which is justified by the remnants of Miocene-Pleistocene volcanic integration with marine environment. These processes in collaboration with old Jurassic and quaternary sediments create a diverse geological and geomorphological constructions forming the abiotic environment of areas surrounding Port Jackson and Fletcher Bay. These two locations have been chosen as two main campsites of the north Coromandel Peninsula, which are maintained by the Department of Conservation (DOC) of Coromandel Peninsula. Hence, the campsites should be considered as main places for camping for the trips of different purposes. They provide an access costal way and/or trails leading to the main geologically important locations presenting some knowable features like Pinnacles and Sugar Loaf spread through the region. To highlight these locations of interests, “geosites,” we developed qualitative-quantitative assessment of geodiversity for geosite recognition based on 8-m DEM and 1:1250,000 scale geological map and QGIS (3.28 “Firenze”) software. The methodology utilizing 8-point evaluation system applied for geological formations of the studied region and its multiplication with morphological slope degree. The result of assessment has been expanded and justified with geological, cultural, and geomorphological database acquired from literature review and direct field trips of the studied areas. The conclusion demonstrates the main geological knowledge of recognized geosites together with description of drawbacks and possible obstacles for tourism and education in the region of the northern Coromandel Peninsula.

根据新西兰科罗曼德半岛中新世火山弧背景的核心地质特征进行定性-定量评估,识别地质复合体
科罗曼德半岛最北部可以说是地质教育和地质旅游的好地方,中新世-更新世火山遗迹与海洋环境的融合证明了这一点。这些过程与古老的侏罗纪沉积物和第四纪沉积物共同形成了多样的地质和地貌结构,构成了杰克逊港和弗莱彻湾周边地区的非生物环境。这两个地点被选为科罗曼德半岛北部的两个主要露营地,由科罗曼德半岛保护部(DOC)负责维护。因此,这些露营地应被视为不同目的旅行的主要露营地。这些露营地提供了一条通往具有重要地质意义的主要地点的沿海道路和/或小径,这些地点呈现出一些众所周知的特征,如分布在该地区的尖峰石阵和糖面包。为了突出这些有价值的地点("地质地貌"),我们根据 8 米 DEM 和 1:1250,000 比例尺地质图以及 QGIS(3.28 "Firenze")软件,开发了地质多样性定性定量评估方法,用于识别地质地貌。该方法利用 8 点评估系统对研究区域的地质构造及其与形态坡度的乘积进行评估。通过文献查阅和对所研究地区的直接实地考察获得的地质、文化和地貌数据库,对评估结果进行了扩展和论证。结论展示了公认地貌的主要地质知识,并说明了科罗曼德半岛北部地区旅游和教育的缺点和可能障碍。

期刊介绍: The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism. The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are: - Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage; - Geodiversity and geosites; - On-site science, geological and geomorphological research: - Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation and management; - Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby; - Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international; - Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use policies; - Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies; - Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism; - Geoparks: creation, management and outputs; - Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change; - Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies; - International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites, National Parks etc.; - Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections and all portable geoheritage; - Education and training of geoheritage specialists; - Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres, on-site museums; - Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
