Sustainable Development of Global Geoparks Network Construction in China Based on the Analysis of Spatial Distribution
33 Global Geoparks Network( GGN) members in China have been built by October of 2015,whose distribution is mainly affected by the tectonic zone and localized at developed areas with convenient traffic. The paper analyzed the distribution of GGN members in China comprehensively with the nearest neighbor ratio,unbalanced index S and the Gini coefficient.The results showed that global geoparks in China have an agglomerated distribution,with the configuration feature as bandings and districts.Based on these,it puts forward that we should open up and construct new GGN by developing the different types of geological remains in different areas,and development of global geoparks should be focused on pursuing optimum balance between the environment protection and economic progress to achieve sustainable development.
