Özet
Jeopark kavramının temelleri Dünya da ilk olarak 17. Yüzyıla kadar dayanmaktadır. Ülkemiz ise jeopark kavramı ile 1970 yıllarında tanışmıştır. Oluşumu milyonlarca yıl alabilen jeolojik yapıların korunması ve sonraki nesillere aktarılması, hızla küreselleşen Dünyada önem kazanmıştır. Özelikle doğa turizmine meraklı insanların ilgisini çeken, özel jeolojik yapıları görmek ve gezmek isteyen insanların artan ilgisi nedeni ile jeopark turizmi Dünyada yaygınlaşmıştır. UNESCO listesinde Dünyada 147 adet jeopark mevcut olup, ülkemizde ise bu listeye girmeye hak kazanan Kula jeopark alanı bulunmaktadır. Karstik alanların jeoturizminde cezbedicili yanında, insanların karst yapılarına olan ilgileri, karstik yapıların meydana getirdiği jeopark alanlarının önemini artırmaktadır. Karapınar potansiyel jeopark alanı, Orta Anadolu’da, Konya idari sınırları içerisinde ve merkeze yaklaşık 100 km uzaklıktadır. Karapınar ilçe merkezinin hemen doğusunda, yaklaşık 1500 km² lik bir alanı kapsayan jeolojik miras alanı, bu alan etrafındaki jeositler, arkeolojik ve kültürel sit alanları olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bölgede, muhtelif boy ve ebatlarda, sulu veya susuz 20 den fazla sayıda obruk bulunmaktadır. Jeopark öneri alanında bulunan, halk arasında nazar boncuğu olarak ta adlandırılan Meke gölü, Karapınar- Ereğli yolu üzerinde yaklaşık 7. km’de, ana asfaltın yaklaşık 1.5 km kuzey batısında kalmaktadır. Jeolojik terim kavramıyla Meke Maarı olarak tanımlanan Meke Gölü, Pleyistosen’den itibaren iki aşamalı volkanik aktivite ile sönmüş bir volkan kraterinin suyla dolmasıyla oluşan ve ortasında adacıklar bulunan bir krater gölüdür. Diğer bir göl olan Acıgöl ise, Karapınar Ereğli yolu üzerinde 5. Kilometrede gözlenen ve anayolla yaklaşık 500 metre mesafede yer alan sığ krater gölü görünümündeki maar, volkan patlamasıyla meydana gelmiş çukurdan ibarettir.
The concept of the geopark, the basics in the world first dates back to the 17th century. Our country met with the concept of geopark in 1970. The preservation of the geological structures that can take millions of years to form and transferring them to the next generations has gained importance in the rapidly globalizing world. Especially due to the increasing interest of the people who want to visit the special geological structures that attract people’s interested in tourism, geopark tourism has become widespread in the world. There are 140 geoparks in the world on the list of UNESCO. In our country, there is a Geopark area in Kula which is entitled to enter this list. The Geoparks, where the karst areas have an attractive side in geo-tourism, attract people's interest in karst structures and are composed of karst structures that draw attention. The potential geopark area of Karapınar is located in the central region of Central Anatolia, approximately 100 km from the city center of Konya. Just east ofthe district center of Karapınar, covering an area of approximately 1500 km2, the geological heritage geocytes around this area are considered as archaeological and cultural sites. In the region, there are more than twenty watery or waterless sinkholes of various dimensions and sizes. Lake Meke, which is also known as an evil eye bead in the geopark suggestion area, is located on Karapınar-Ereğli road at approximately 7 km, about 1.5 km northwest of the main asphalt. Meke Lake, which is defined as Meke Cave with the concept of the geological term, is a crater lake formed by the filling of a volcano crater with a two-stage volcanic activity since Pleistocene and with islets in the middle. Acıgöl, another lake, is a shallow crater lake, which is observed at the 5th kilometer on the Karapınar Ereğli road and is located approximately 500 meters from the main road, and consists of a pit formed by a volcano eruption.
