Sustainable development is the interrelation and intercooperation between entities (organisations, countries) that provides a long-term solution to development issues taking into account the following: environment protection, economic growth, socio-cultural aspects, natural and cultural heritage, local resources, the local community, the overall impact. SD must enable economic growth and social welfare, ensuring better living conditions for the local population, the ability to be auto-sustainable and at the same time apply conservation strategies for the heritage sites.
The objective of our research project is to analyse the current situation of the geopark from various perspectives and propose viable and creative solutions that will contribute to the realisation of the sustainable development concept and to Hateg Geoparks welfare.
This research should contribute to the appreciation of the importance of the Haeg Geopark and increase public awareness regarding the importance of sustainable development and the geoconservation policies that refer to conservation and land management.
A Geopark is based on the use of geological importance features geosites- and other natural, cultural and intangible heritage features, on a defined territory with well-known boundaries together with a sustainable development strategy that must be supported by a program meant to promote development.
The Geopark must have an active role in the promotion of sustainable economic growth for the community.
Geoparks are considered very important for environmental education but also for increasing public awareness in relation to conservation.

Geopark as a method to implement sustainable development in rural areas Important variables for the success of a Geopark are: Creation of its own identity; Strengthening of its marketing strategies; To highlight the uniqueness of the territory; Involvement of the local communities and local authorities. The EU could be more involved A real UNESCO programme for the Geoparks could be better than their ad hoc agreement of today but
More specific monitoring plan (species related plan) The development of a proper Facebook page and updated website (English) The distribution of the Geosite Book in important touristic centres Modern infrastructure capable of sustaining different kinds of tourism and economic growth.
