Abstract

Mt. Chilbo, a famous tourist attraction in the DPR Korea is a scenic natural area that has been nominated for Natural World Heritage status. In this paper, we present the volcanic rock landscape features and the natural heritage values of Mt. Chilbo according to World Heritage criteria. Mt. Chilbo has geological evidence of volcanic activity from the Pliocene to the early Quaternary and a beautiful volcanic rock landscape. The volcanic rock landscape of Mt. Chilbo includes volcanic rock peaks and pillars with mysterious shapes, natural stone bridges, stone gates, sea cliff and sea caves, which is characterized by uplift movement and weathering, erosion. The aesthetic and geological values of Mt. Chilbo, which are of global importance, are documented. It is concluded that Mt. Chilbo meets World Heritage criteria (vii) and criteria (viii). Mt. Chilbo is the typical representative of the integrated rock–controlled landform with natural beauty in the volcanic rock–dominated regions and reflects important on-going geological process containing significant geomorphic feature. Mt. Chilbo is compared with other volcanic rock properties in the World Heritage List. Overall, the results of the study revealed that Mt. Chilbo is a valuable geoheritage site of high conservative significance because of its geological and aesthetical value.

朝鲜民主主义人民共和国七宝山的火山岩景观和自然遗产价值

七宝山是朝鲜著名的旅游胜地，也是已申报世界自然遗产的自然风景区。本文根据世界遗产标准，介绍了七宝山的火山岩景观特征和自然遗产价值。七宝山拥有上新世至第四纪早期火山活动的地质证据和美丽的火山岩景观。奇宝山的火山岩景观包括形状神秘的火山岩峰和岩柱、天然石桥、石门、海崖和海蚀洞，其特点是隆起运动和风化、侵蚀。奇尔博山的美学和地质学价值在全球都具有重要意义，这些都已记录在案。结论是七宝山符合世界遗产标准 (vii) 和标准 (viii)。奇宝山是火山岩为主地区具有自然美景的岩石控制综合地貌的典型代表，反映了正在进行的重要地质过程，具有重要的地貌特征。奇尔博火山与《世界遗产名录》中的其他火山岩地貌进行了比较。总之，研究结果表明，七宝山因其地质和美学价值，是一个具有高度保护意义的宝贵地质遗产地。

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.
