This dissertation deals with the management of the territory, the regional sustainable economy, information and educational environment, and geoconservation, whereas a greater understanding of these issues may assist in the application process of aspiring geoparks. It aims to contribute to the preparation of the candidature file of the project Fernando de Noronha Geopark to UNESCO, analyzing the actions performed in the Geopark Azores (Portugal) in order to propose good practices. The theoretical basis includes topics such as geodiversity, geological heritage, geosites,geoconservation, Geotourism and sustainable tourism. The methodology of this study was conducted by a bibliographic and documentary study, with field research in Fernando de Noronha (PE) and the Azores (Portugal). Considerations are made concerning the management of the territory in geoparks and benefits and problems identified in the Geopark are presented. Finally, some actions are proposed in a plan of actions. It is concluded that Fernando de Noronha has the potential to integrate the Global Network of Geoparks, since it develops some guidelines and criteria of UNESCO. However, some actions should be carried out before the submission of the candidature file to the organization. Such actions include the creation of a management structure, development of educational programs focusing on the geology of the archipelago, a strategy of geoconservation and incentive to the development of new products based on local features.
