Toward smartphone applications for geoparksinformation and interpretation systems in China

Geopark information and interpretation systemsare both necessary infrastructure in geopark planning andconstruction program, and they are also essential for geoeducationand geoconservation in geopark tourism. Thecurrent state and development of information and interpretationsystems in China’s geopar...
