In this study, I chose two Geoparks as case study because to compare the differences in management method according to the difference in the number of municipalities involved in the operation. And I conducted a survey to Chichibu and Shimonita, because these are located in the related area and have similar geology, and Chichibu operates in fiven municipalities, Shimonita operate in single municipality. Additionally, these are locations where time has passed since these started the Geopark activity.
