 note = {New project scales and project types are created on a daily basis but, while some of them are successfully developed, others simply fail to materialize. Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines a project as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, and may involve from one to thousands of people. Although there are many guidelines for project management, because they are designed for general application to various kinds of projects, they show only general not detailed instruction for successful project initiation. However, for regional vitalization projects that utilize local resources, because those resources are difficult to evaluate, it is crucial to have a tangible plan for the initiation process. In this study, the project management of the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) supported by UNESCO is introduced as an example of a practical project that utilizes natural resources. The Geoparks self-evaluation form issued by GGN and its general concept are analyzed, and some key elements are extracted. From the results, the potential for applying the general concept and key elements to other regional vitalization projects that deal with local resources is introduced. For future study, the planning and evaluation of projects in various disciplines utilizing key elements and concept extracted from Geoparks self-evaluation form would be beneficial.},
