Geological heritage of the Ulleungdo·Dokdo National Geopark and its management system

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ulleungdo and Dokdo located in East Sea, Korea are representative volcanic islands formed by volcanic activities taken place during the period ranging from 4.6 Ma to 5 ka, with valuable geodiversity. As of December 2012, the Ulleungdo·Dokdo geopark was certified as the national geopark of Korea, together with the Jeju geopark. This paper provides a brief review on the geological characteristics of geosites and presents various activities such as systematic management, facilities and education programs for the Ulleungdo·Dokdo national geopark, with effective future plans. This geopark is composed of various geological features such as double craters, columnar joints, sea stacks, sea caves and sea cliffs. There are 23 geosites in this area as follows: 19 sites in Ulleungdo including Bongrae waterfall, Jeodong seaside walkway, Dodong seaside walkway, Turtle rock & the natural habitat of Juniper growing wild, Noodle rock, Mushroom rock, Hakpo beach, Red soil cave, Taeha seaside walkway and Daepunggam, Old man peak, Needle peak, Elephant rock, Yongchulso spring, Albong peak, Seonginbong primeval forest, Jukam shingle beach, Samseonam seastack, Gwaneumdo islet, Jukdo islet, 4 sites in Dokdo including Whetstone rock, Independence gate rock, Three brothers cave rock, and Ceiling cave, respectively. Besides attractive geological heritages, there are a lot of valuable assets in ecology, culture and history, and archaeology in the geopark. Because the Ulleungdo·Dokdo national geopark not only preserves excellent natural heritages such as geosites, ecology, and history with great intrinsic value, quite different from those of the Korean peninsula, but also plays an important role as an advance guard for the territorial integrity, national attention and more systematic support by the central government should be constantly given.
