Abstract

This study is to investigate the possibility of geotourism and educational use of the geosites in the Byeonsanbando national park. The geosites within the national park were explored through literature search and field work, and 207 tourists were surveyed to identify the educational utilization of the geosites. The results suggest seventeen geosites in the western coastal areas of Byeonsanbando such as various sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks, intrusive rocks and contact metamorphic rocks, and the dinosaur tracksite. To develop effective geotourism educational programs, diverse experience programs and abundant information were regarded as important elements. If additional geological surveys of the geosites are conducted and educational programs for the geotourism are developed in the Byeonsanbando area, this area is likely to be valuable as the national geopark of Korea.

본 연구는 변산반도 국립공원 내 지질명소의 지질관광과 교육적 활용 가능성을 조사한 것이다. 변산반도 국립공원 내의 지질명소는 문헌 연구 및 현장 조사를 통해 탐색하였고, 지질명소에 대해 관광객 207명을 대상으로 교육적 활용에 대한 설문을 실시하였다. 그 결과 변산반도 서쪽에 위치한 해안 지역에서 다양한 퇴적암류, 화산암류, 관입암체와 접촉 변성암, 공룡 발자국 화석 산지 등 17곳의 지질명소를 제안하였다. 또한 효과적인 지질관광 교육프로그램 개발을 위해서는 '다양한 체험 프로그램'과 '풍부한 안내 정보'가 중요한 요소로 인식 되었다. 변산반도의 지질명소에 대한 추가 지질 조사가 수행되고 지질관광 교육프로그램이 개발된다면 변산반도 지역은 국가지질공원으로 충분한 가치가 있다고 판단된다.
