<![CDATA[Krakatoa is the most active volcanic complex located in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Throughout human history, several devastating Krakatoa eruptions have shocked the world and turned it into a global attraction. Recognizing its scientific value, Krakatoa has been designated as a geoheritage site. This study refers to the Standard Scientific Value Assessment published by Center for Geological survey of Indonesia, which applies seven main parameters, including well-published scientific reviews, to assess the feasibility of geoheritage sites. In conclusion, the Krakatoa volcanic complex is a highly regarded geoheritage site, scoring 92.5/100. Its significance extends globally, offering insights into the evolution of volcanic islands and their unique geological features. Additionally, the historical records of global catastrophes and the potential for future eruptions warrant further investigation. As a geoheritage site, Krakatoa serves as a reminder of the possibility of subsequent devastating eruptions and its natural history, making it crucial for sustainably maintaining, preserving, and managing its potential for educational, conservation, and scientific purposes. Considering the natural history, the study recommend further consideration of several sustain steps, particularly for sites around the Krakatoa area. Regular and systematic scientific observations and records of natural conditions are significant for maintaining and enhancing Krakatoa as geoheritage.]]>
