Abstract
Taiwan has numerous special landscapes because of its location. By 2012, Taiwan has recorded 341 landscapes by the government under the global trend of Landscape Conservation. Keelung Ho-Ping Island Park has many natural landscapes to develop geo-tourism. Hence, this research explores the feature of geomorphosite in Ho-Ping Island Park and compiles foreign geomorphosite evaluation indicators to evaluate geomorphosites in Ho-Ping Island Park. The results can later be applied to tourism and education in Ho-Ping Island Park.
This research shows two conclusions: 1. Because of lithology, wave erosion and weathering, there are 13 different geomorphosites in Ho-Ping Island Park such as mushroom, sea cliff, tofu rock, marine pothole, sea cave, intertidal zone, and fossil. 2. By using geomorphosite evaluation indicators, all of the geomorphosites are evaluated above class B, this result represents that there are many medium value geomorphosites in Ho-Ping Island Park. Among geomorphosites, those that are evaluated class A are: mushroom in the west side of Zhongshan Island’s abrasion platform because of the large quantity, sea cliff in the northwest side of Zhongshan Island because it reflects climate change, tofu rock in the northeast side of Zhongshan Island because of its large area, tofu rock in the northeast side of Sheliao Island because of its special form and ecological significance, and sea cave because of its cultural significance, representing high value geomorphosites. Although some geomorphosites of scientific and additional values in Ho-Ping Island Park are evaluated high, management should further improve inappropriate behaviors of visitors, disposal of garbage, rockfalls, cement trail, and interpretive services.
According to results, Keelung Ho-Ping Island Park has geodiversity. Management should use the above characteristics for conservation and promotion.
