Abstract

Purwodadi is one of the villages in Malang district that has great geotourism potential. The geological condition of Purwodadi village shows traces of tertiary and ancient quarter volcanic activity from southern Java. This study aims to analyze, classify and assess the geosite as a geotourism site. This research uses literature study method, field data collection and quantitative analysis using Kubalikova's method. Kubalikova's method provides an assessment of the geosite based on the aspects of intellectual and scientific value, education, economy, conservation and added value. The results of geosite analysis in the research area include andesite, basalt, dacite, diorite, conglomerate, tuff, claystone, quartzite, iron, limestone and plant fossils. Based on the results of the quantitative analysis of the geosite assessment method, it shows that the research area has 6 geological sites with the feasibility of each of them including the Lenggoksono beach (62,16%), Banyu Anjlok (64,86%), Bolu-bolu (56,76%), Wedi awu (59,46%), Banyu Ilang (36,49%) and Kletekan Bay (54,05%). Overall, there are 5 geosites that have the potential to be used as geological heritage sites for further review with the potential geotourism feasibility value> 50%. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
