Our study aims to investigate the mediating effect of support for geopark development on the relationship between economic, socio-cultural benefits, and perceived costs of geopark development on community well-being. A total of 301 participants, including those from the Kinabalu UNESCO Global Geopark's three areas of Kota Marudu, Ranau and Kota Belud, participated in the study. The findings indicate that community well-being is positively impacted by economic, sociocultural, and support for geopark development. Moreover, the support for geopark development mediates the relationship between economic and socio-cultural benefits towards community well-being. However, the study reveals that perceived costs of geopark development does not have significant effect on both relationships. Our study suggests that the local community recognizes the benefits of Kinabalu UNESCO Global Geopark in the form of income generation and opportunities for employment. However, because the geopark is still in an early stage of development, it is possible that the local community has not yet become aware of its negative aspects. The study proposes thorough and comprehensive guidelines and policies to be put in place to ensure the sustainability of the geopark regions as well as to continuously improve community well-being.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36117,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2577444124000327/pdfft?md5=2bc4afd65a1948cdaf784a221887c0b0&pid=1-s2.0-S2577444124000327-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study focuses on the northern region of the Karangsambung-Karangbolong Geopark (KKNG), characterized by diverse lithology and multi-phase tectonics. This study aims to explore (i) landslide susceptibility assessment, (ii) geomorphological characteristics and distribution of landslide susceptibility, and (iii) identification of landslide impacts on geosites. We mapped morphogenesis, morphology, materials, and processes to understand the geomorphological context, identifying three primary landforms: structural, pediments, and fluvial. For landslide susceptibility mapping, we used the XGBoost algorithm with cross-validation and utilized the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for model validation. The XGBoost model revealed a high susceptibility classification for 10 geosite points. Landslides have negative impacts, such as Olistoliths of coral limestones, Exotic-blocks of chert, and calcareous red claystone that change landforms and damage outcrops. Nevertheless, some landslides have positive impacts on the geosite, such as Exotic-blocks of phyllites, and Exotic-blocks of pillow lava and radiolarian chert, because landslides can reveal fresher outcrops and rock structures, and the outcrop area becomes larger. Landslide mapping successfully identified geosites that are highly vulnerable and have adverse impacts, especially those with certain lithological characteristics. This research on viewing disaster as a harmful process has evolved into a more holistic view of the disaster. This view includes various positive aspects that involve understanding the complex interactions between geology and geomorphology towards the geosite. By understanding the relationship between geomorphologic features (morphology, material, process, morpho-arrangement) and landslide occurrence, effective management strategies can be implemented to develop geological heritage further.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36117,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S257744412400025X/pdfft?md5=cc9c2b1dcc414432b1be2362540342b3&pid=1-s2.0-S257744412400025X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141035893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a holistic diachronic approach, we integrate historical data with contemporary landscape metrics analysis to provide a nuanced comprehension of land management transitions. Utilizing diverse research methods such as individual and collective surveys, along with transect walks, we meticulously unravel the intricate fabric of land acquisition patterns and resource management strategies employed by the Luo people of Kajulu. Our findings reveal a compelling narrative of adaptation and transformation. Constrained by land scarcity and intensified resource competition, the Luo community in Kajulu ingeniously reshaped their traditional land organization. Transitioning from the transmission of entire exploitations to a process of repeated subdivision, they devised a complex, non-linear progression of land use patterns. To ensure food security and resource preservation, they adopted a system of land intensification grounded in production diversification, echoing Boserup's theory of agricultural intensification in response to population pressure. This culminated in a landscape characterized by remarkable heterogeneity, reflecting the aggregation of cultivated spaces over time and resonating with Malthusian concerns about population growth and resource constraints.
