書籍介紹
Geoparks are an initiative launched by UNESCO in 1999, aimed at raising awareness of the connection between foundational geology and human life, society, as well as civilization, in which the concept of “Earth Science for Society” was highlighted. Geoparks represent four core values - landscape conservation, landscape environmental education, geo-ecotourism (geological and ecological tourism), and social engagement. These values are intimately connected and are based on the conservation of local geological environments, along with the involvement and guardianship of local communities, while creating bottom-up social agency that benefit sustainability. The development of geoparks in Taiwan was facilitated by the policies of landscape inventory by the Forestry Bureau and of community building by the Ministry of Culture. The policies enhanced the processes for recognizing landscapes and the mobilization of social forces.
Following the spirit of the UNESCO global geoparks, this handbook offers background knowledge on mudstone badlands, their terrain and ecology, economic landscape, and the cultural treasures surrounding life on the Kaohsiung Mudstone Badlands. We hope for readers to not only become familiar with the features of mudstone badlands but also appreciate the concept of “pursuing good fortune and avoiding disaster” by implementing the ideas of geopark.

Geopark is an initiative launched by UNESCO in 1999, aimed at raising awareness of the connection between foundational geology and human life, society, as well as civilization, in which the concept of “Earth Science for Society” was highlighted. Geoparks represent the core values of landscape conservation, landscape environmental education, geo-ecotourism (both geological and ecological tourism), and social engagement. These values are intimately connected and are based on the conservation of geological environments, along with the involvement and stewardship of local communities, while creating bottom-up social agency to benefit sustainable development. The development of geoparks in Taiwan was facilitated by the policies of inventorying landscape by the Forestry Bureau and of community building by the Ministry of Culture. The policies enhanced the processes for recognizing landscapes and the mobilizing societal forces.
Following the spirit of the UNESCO global geoparks, this handbook offers background knowledge on mudstone badlands, their terrain and ecology, economic landscape, and cultural treasures surrounding life on the Kaohsiung Mudstone Badlands. We hope for readers to not only become familiar with the unique features of mudstone badlands, but also appreciate the idea of “pursuing good fortunes and avoiding disasters” by implementing the concept of geopark.
