Sustainable Use Of The Triassic Geological Relics In Guizhou

Geological Relics are natural geo-heritages, which are formed,developed and by inner and outer-momentum geological function during the endless geological history period the Earth evolve. The arising enthusiasm for natural and culture heritages all over the world forces the international academic organizations to pay more attention on protecting the eological Relics. Since the Geological Relic resources are non-renewable, they can never be repaired once damaged. How to protect the Geological Relic resources and how to take the advantages of their potential to serve humanity has been concerned by many geo-tourism workers for many years. Base on the classification of the Triassic Geological Relics in Guizhou, together with some evaluations on them, models of their utilization and preliminary measures on their sustainable development are put forward.This paper is composed of three parts: First, based on the existing classification schemes, the Triassic geological relics in Guizhou were classified into 17 in consideration of their actual situation. Second, some qualitative and quantitative evaluations were proposed. At the first step we selected nine evaluation factors in three aspects. Including the remains of value, use and environmental conditions. We determined the index weight of the factors by the AHP method. Based the determined weight, we calculated scores of individual factors and their total scores. In this way, the 28 typical Geosites Triassic in Guizhou were qualitative evaluated and ranked by their scores. In the third part we investigated the sustainable use pattern of the Triassic in Guizhou geological relic. We first classified the quantitative evaluation results obtained in the second part into three types, using fuzzy clustering analysis method. Based on the classification, we established three models of sustainable use, including, primarily focused on protection or on using, or putting off development. The three models were all tested through empirical analysis. Finally, a piece of advice on sustainable use was proposed.In this paper, geological relics was not only recognized as records of the evolution of the Earth's history, but also as resources that can serve humanity. Besides emphasis on their protection, we also focused on their rational use. The research on the sustainable use of the Triassic geological relics in Guizhou may be beneficial in choosing a more reasonable usage. Under the prerequisite of sustainable development, Geological Relics can be used to serve the economics and society growing. And it will be helpful to the social, ecological and economic benefits.
