Abstract
The purpose of the Management Plan is to provide a framework for the care, control and management of nine geosites as the focal points of the Jeju Island Geopark. The plan supports protection of the geosites, development of geotourism and the ongoing economic development of the Jeju Island Geopark in a sustainable manner. The Plan has three main elements as follows: (1) A management structure to ensure that the geosites are managed sustainably and in a coordinated manner throughout the Jeju Island Geopark in association with other natural, cultural, social and economic sites and values; (2) Site management and monitoring concepts to ensure that the natural and cultural values are protected and enhanced for this and future generations; and (3) The establishment of linkages and systems to promote and develop education, tourism and research can work together to promote and enhance an understanding of geological heritage whilst contributing to Jeju’s economy and social well-being.
