Therefore, this study observes and records visitor’s inappropriate behavior and try to figure out behaviors and norms by using questionnaire, then suggests some basic regulations for visitors.his study shows 1. The usual inappropriate behaviors of visitors include crossing the warning line, playing by the water, ocean side fishing, touching or climbing landscape, collecting living samples, straying from the trail, smoking and unsuitable dressing. 2. The degree of visitors’ knowledge about Yehliu and their attitude to environment can also influence their behaviors. 3. Visitors agree on the regulations but do not practice. 4. By reviewing the regulations in Yehliu Geopark, this study finds that they don’t explain why visitors should obey the rule and always use “No” to limit visitors’ behaviors. Regulations are also distributed in different boards, leaflets, and website.ccording to the results of this study, we modify visitor conduct guideline to transmit correct informations and try to change visitors’ inappropriate behaviors.
