“…Following its certification as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2010, the Jeju Island UGGp (hereafter Jeju UGGp) launched its Geobrand initiative in 2013 to pursue geotourism-driven regional economic development (Jeon et al, 2016). There are currently eleven Geobranded activities operated by the Jeju UGGp, and this article explores their role in activating Geosites in two rural communities.…”

“…Applications are then supplemented following expert consultations before design and marketing plans are drawn up. The success of the Geobranding project over three years led to it receiving the 'Creative Integrated Brand' award at the 2016 KOREA-National Brand Awards (Ko, 2016;Jeon et al, 2016). In addition to Geotrails, the most active Geobranded activity, this article also introduces the Geohouse, Geofood, Geogift, Geoacademy, and Geoschool, which are integral to community development at the Jeju UGGp.…”

This paper aims to identify the impact of Geotrails and 'Geobranded' activities on economic regeneration and public attitudes to conservation of geological heritage within the Jeju Island UNESCO Global Geopark. Prior to becoming Geopark sites, Suwolbong Peak Geotrail and the Gyorae Forest Geotrail were respectively in fishing and upland farming communities rarely visited by tourists. This paper outlines the changes experienced in the villages following Geotrail establishment and the operation of 'Geobranded' activities, which are resident-led programs operated in partnership with local enterprises and organizations under the Geopark Geobrand. Triangulated data from participant surveys, provincial statistics, and interviews with locals indicate that Geotrails contributed to increased local tourism revenue and economic activity, which was part of a wider increase in local households. Furthermore, event observations and survey data indicate that community participation, particularly through the Geoschool and Geoguide programs, contributed to increased local pride and awareness of geological heritage. A synergistic effect is observed between Geotrail activation, community participation, awareness of local geoheritage, and willingness to protect local Geosites. If implemented alongside education programs and efforts to maximize community participation, Geotrails could help establish a virtuous cycle between trail activation, community participation, and pride in geological heritage, helping inform how other Geosites utilize Geobrands for sustainable development.

This article aims to identify and design a spatial model of geotourism destinations based on concentration and dispersal strategies in Cisolok Geoarea, Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu UNESCO Global Geopark, Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with primary and secondary data collection. Primary data collection was carried out through field observations at the Cisolok Geoarea and semi-structured interviews with people directly involved in the development of the Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu UNESCO Global Geopark. The positioning of spatial elements based on satellites uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. In the meantime, secondary data carried out through literature studies on policy documents, planning, and previous research. The analytical method used in this study includes qualitative analysis, map analysis, and descriptive analysis. Stages of research were carried out through the process of input, management, plotting, and conversion of data and information obtained. This study found that Cisolok qualified as a geotourism destination with the support of eleven integrated spatial elements. The results of this study can be a strategy for the dispersal of tourists visiting the Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu UNESCO Global Geopark, especially in Cisolok Geoarea.
