چکیده
با توسعه گردشگری، به تدریج شاهد شکل‌گیری انواع مختلفی از گردشگری متناسب با علایق و سلایق گوناگون هستیم. این امر به ویژه در گردشگری‌های مبتنی بر طبیعت مشهود است، جایی که حفاظت از گونه‌های زیستی و غیرزیستی اولویت دارد. در این راستا، حفاظت و مدیریت زمین‌شناختی نیز اهمیت فزاینده‌ای یافته است. از این‌رو، پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی نقش ژئوتوریسم و ژئوپارک‌ها و ابزارهای موجود در این مناطق در حفاظت از میراث زمین‌شناختی تدوین شده است. با توجه به ماهیت موضوع و اهداف پژوهش، رویکرد حاکم بر تحقیق توصیفی- تحلیلی است. داده‌ها و اطلاعات مورد نیاز از طریق منابع آرشیوی و با مراجعه به مجلات و کتب مرتبط گردآوری شده است. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که گسترش ژئوتوریسم و ایجاد ژئوپارک‌ها می‌تواند به تحقق هدف حفاظت از میراث زمین‌شناختی کمک کند. مدیریت در ژئوپارک‌ها نقش کلیدی در اجرای استراتژی‌ها و برنامه‌های حفاظتی ایفا می‌کند. با توسعه ژئوتوریسم، آموزش و فعالیت‌های زمین‌شناختی در ژئوپارک‌ها نیز گسترش می‌یابد که به افزایش آگاهی عمومی منجر می‌شود. این افزایش آگاهی، همراه با مدیریت صحیح و سرمایه‌گذاری مناسب، حفاظت بلندمدت از میراث زمین‌شناختی را تضمین می‌کند.

چکیده English

With the development of tourism, we are gradually witnessing the emergence of different types of tourism based on varying interests and tastes. This is especially evident in nature-based tourism, where the conservation of biotic and abiotic species is a priority. In this regard, geological conservation and management have become increasingly important. Therefore, the current research was conducted to investigate the role of geotourism and geoparks, as well as the tools available in these areas, in geoheritage conservation. According to the nature of the subject and research objectives, the dominant approach is descriptive-analytical research. The required data and information were collected through archival sources and by referring to relevant journals and books. The results indicate that the expansion of geotourism and the creation of geoparks can contribute to achieving the goal of geoheritage conservation. Management in geoparks plays a key role in implementing conservation strategies and programs. As geotourism develops, geological education and activities in geoparks also expand, leading to increased public awareness. This increased awareness, along with proper management and appropriate investment, will ensure the long-term conservation of geoheritage.
