A Geopark is a demarcated area with particularly interesting geologic heritage. Since the physical landscape is intimately related to both cultural and ecological characteristics, knowledge about geological sites can be essential for management of the resources in these settings. In this context, we suggest the term “Landscape Geopark” in order to stress the regional system perspective. Therefore, various stakeholders need to be included in Geopark planning, including researchers, tourists, seasonal and permanent residents, government offices, NGOs, and local industry. The archipelago and coastal landscape in Bohuslan, along the Swedish west coast, have uniquely influenced historical development of and changes in fishing, farming, and tourism. Stakeholder influence is centrally important for the sustainable, landscape-scale management of both economy and geoheritage. We use conceptual modelling of “system” components and processes to include the qualitative and quantitative information from relevant research and local stakeholders. In particular, the model aims to address the likely consequences in 20 years if a Geopark is or is not established. Although geoheritage is always site specific, Geopark models will allow comparisons between sites and information exchange, for instance in the ongoing PLATFORM project.
