Abstract

Qian’an National Geopark locates in the southern Yanshan Mountain uplift belt. Active tectonics resulted in mineral enrichment, as well as geoheritages in this area. This includes one of the oldest metamorphic complex exposed in China. This study aims to investigate and protect local geoheritage, to develop geotourism and to contribute to sustainable development. According to the classification standards of geoheritage, we divided geoheritages in Qian’an National Geopark into 6 major categories, 10 categories and 12 subcategories based on extensive field surveys. There are well-preserved human and ecological resources, e.g. the Great Wall as a typical representative. By the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) evaluation, we assessed 20 geoheritage sites in Qian’an National Geopark, resulting in 1 world-class, 2 national-level, 11 regional-level and 6 local-level. Based on their scientific value and rarity, as well as local development planning, the geopark is divided into 3 classes conservation areas. With hierarchical conservation measures, geoheritages have been well protected, and awareness of ecological environment has been greatly improved. Geotourism has made outstanding contributions to local economy and promoted more sustainable development.

迁安国家地质公园的地质多样性、地质保护与可持续发展（中国河北）

迁安国家地质公园位于燕山隆起带南部。活跃的构造作用导致该地区矿产富集，并形成了地质遗迹。其中包括中国最古老的变质岩群之一。这项研究旨在调查和保护当地的地质遗产，发展地质旅游，促进可持续发展。根据地质遗迹的分类标准，我们在大量野外调查的基础上，将迁安国家地质公园的地质遗迹划分为 6 个大类、10 个小类和 12 个亚类。其中有保存完好的人文和生态资源，如长城就是典型代表。通过层次分析法（AHP）评估，我们对迁安国家地质公园的 20 处地质遗迹进行了评估，其中世界级 1 处，国家级 2 处，地区级 11 处，地方级 6 处。根据其科学价值和稀有性以及当地发展规划，地质公园被划分为 3 个等级保护区。通过分级保护措施，地质遗迹得到了很好的保护，生态环境意识得到了很大提高。地质旅游为当地经济做出了突出贡献，促进了可持续发展。

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.
