地质公园是联合国教科文组织的项目，旨在通过保护、教育和地质旅游活动，促进具有地质价值的遗址和景观地区的可持续发展。日本地质公园的特点之一是整个日本列岛都位于移动的带上，很多地质公园都以“动态地球”为主题。活断层与活火山沿着，是日本列岛大地运动的象征，活断层研究对地质公园活动的支持意义重大。在本研究中，我们报告了日本活断层研究学会教育和推广委员会进行的问卷调查结果，以考虑日本地质公园的未来支持政策。结果发现，约41%的地质公园以活断层为地质遗迹，约62%的地质公园以某种方式解释活断层。此外，据发现，约81%的地质公园一直在从事地震或活动断层的防灾工作。另一方面，也有一些地质公园，活动断层分布在该地区，但没有被用作地质遗址，最常见的原因是没有合适的观测地点。对于这些地质公园，活断层专家的支持被认为是必要的。
Geoparks are UNESCO programs that promote sustainable development of areas with geologically valuable sites and landscapes through conservation, education, and geo-tourism activities. One of the characteristics of Japanese geoparks is that the entire Japanese Islands are located in the mobile belt, and many geoparks have the theme of “Dynamic Earth.” Active faults, along with active volcanoes, symbolize the movements of the ground in the Japanese Islands, and it is of great significance for researchers of active faults to support geopark activities. In the present study, we reported the results of the questionnaire survey conducted by the Committee on Education and Outreach of the Japanese Society for Active Fault Studies to consider future policies for support for Japanese geoparks. As a result, we found that about 41% of the geoparks use active faults as geosites, and about 62% of the geoparks explain active faults in some way. In addition, it was found that about 81% of the geoparks have been working on disaster prevention against earthquakes or active faults. On the other hand, there are some geoparks where active faults are distributed within the area but are not utilized as geosites, and the most common reason for this is that there are no appropriate observation sites. For these geoparks, support by experts of active faults is considered necessary.
