Abstract

The number of residents in Bandung continues to increase every year, especially in the southern part of Bandung. The development of residential areas needs to get attention from the local government and people in Bandung, especially to evaluate various geological hazards such as floods, landslide, earthquake, and other. Research methodolgy is qualitative method by interviewing local community and analyzing landsat image using Google Earth and Digital Earth Model (DEM) image to know land use in the research area. In addition, quantitative methods are also used with superimposed manual statistical analysis and weighting methods using Microsoft Excel, Global Mapper, and Mapinfo software. The result of research shows that South Bandung area has Land Suitability Score > 130 (Residential Area) and Land Suitability Score > 135 (Agriculture Area) which are categorized as very good settlement and education area; Land Suitability Score 116-130 (Residential Area) and Land Suitability Score 92-135 (Agriculture Area) are categorized as an obstacle area with various constraints such as water supply, disaster, and others but can still be overcome by artificial engineering. Land Suitability Score <116 (Residential Areas) and Land Suitability Score <92 (Agricultural Area) are limitation area that are not feasible to be used as residential and educational areas, a variety of constraint reduction efforts can be done but require very high cost. Therefore it is suggested  to convert the area into conservation. It is concluded that the best areas to be used as residential and agricultural areas are located in the Banjaran District such as Banjaran, Kamasan, Sindangpanon, and Tarajusari Village.

Abstract

Buahdua area is located in Sumedang District, West Java Province with coordinate 107°53’52,30” E - 107°59’18,83” E and 6°44’2,15” S - 6°38’38,39” S.  This research aims to identify and characterize the geology of Buahdua area and its surrounding. This research used field observation, studio, and laboratory analysis method. Digital maps used to carried out processing step in studio and field tools such as geological hammer, camera, GPS, and compass used to carried out field observation. Rock samples are taken for laboratory analysis. Based on field observation, studio, and laboratory analysis, the research area can be divided into four morphology unit namely very gentle sloping hill, gentle sloping hill, rather steep hill, and steep hill morphology unit. Also, the research area has four drainage patterns namely anastomotic, subdendritic, subparalel, and subrectangular drainage pattern. The lithostratigraphic units in the research are can be divided into three units namely claystone (Tmbl), sandstone (Tmbpl), and volcanic breccia (Kbv) unit, and alluvium (Kal). The geological structures developed in the research area are shear joint and oblique fault (Cikandung and Kamal oblique fault). Geological history of the research area was started from middle Miocene (N9) when claystone unit was deposited in deep marine environment. In middle Miocene (N9 - N10), sandstone unit was deposited in deep marine environment. After those rock unit, there was tectonic activity in Pliocene - Plistocene caused geological structures, shear joint and oblique fault. Occurences volcanic activity after tectonic activity caused volcanic breccia unit was deposited. After those process, alluvium was deposited in Cikandung River until now.
