Abstract

Geopark Ranah Minang Silokek holds unique and diverse geodiversity, encompassing geomorphology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, tectonic, structural geology, and complex geological history. This area promises potential to be recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark, with a geological rock spanning Pre-Tertiary and Neogene epochs. The study focused on assessing 14 prominent geosites to quantitatively evaluate their geological significance, potential educational value, touristic value, and degradation risks, and intrinsic values. The study's main goal was to globally promote the area's rich geoheritage among the public and geoscientists. Results from this assessment categorized Geopark Ranah Minang Silokek within the moderate-high value range, with the Silokek Karst Complex and Granit of Sangkiamo identified as high-value geosites. Our study identified that there were 5 geological phases that could be studied and observed in the Geopark Ranah Minang Silokek. The findings underscored the geopark's potential for educational and tourism purposes, highlighting its suitability as a pioneering geo-education site and earth science field laboratory in Sumatra, Indonesia. This study also highlighted future initiatives which would include designing geotourism activities and educational programs within Geopark Ranah Minang Silokek and beyond.
印度尼西亚Ranah Minang Silokek地质公园的地质多样性遗址:通过地质遗址评估促进地质教育和地质旅游
Ranah Minang Silokek地质公园拥有独特而多样的地质多样性,包括地貌学,沉积学,地层学,古生物学,构造学,构造地质学和复杂的地质历史。该地区具有前第三纪和新近纪的地质岩石,有望被联合国教科文组织列为世界地质公园。本研究对14个著名地质遗址进行了评估,定量评价了其地质意义、潜在教育价值、旅游价值、退化风险和内在价值。这项研究的主要目标是在全球范围内向公众和地球科学家宣传该地区丰富的地质遗产。评价结果将拉那米南西洛克地质公园划分为中高价值,西洛克岩溶杂岩和桑加莫花岗岩为高价值地质点。我们的研究确定了Ranah Minang Silokek地质公园有5个地质阶段可以研究和观察。研究结果强调了该地质公园在教育和旅游方面的潜力,突出了它作为印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛地质教育遗址和地球科学野外实验室的先锋性。这项研究还强调了未来的举措,包括在拉那米南西洛克地质公园内外设计地质旅游活动和教育项目。
