The Potential Development of Rajabasa Geothermal Manifestations in Kalianda Into Geoturism Area in South Lampung

Kalianda has very interesting geological phenomena that evidenced by the existence a several manifestations of Mount Rajabasa Geothermal System those became the research object of geoturism area development. The research methods are field observation, studio analysis, and quantitative analysis of geosite and geomorphosite based on Kubalikova (2013 ) to assess the development potential of Kalianda into geoturism area. Parameters of quantitative analysis of geosite and geomorphosite that used are scientific and intrinsic value, educational value, economic value, conservation value, and additional value. Based on the results of field observation and quantitative assessment towards geological objects located in Kalianda and surrounding area, six geological objects that are potential to become geosites and geomorphosite. Those are Rajabasa Volcanic 65.1%, Maribung Waterfall 46.6%, Way Kunjir Geyser and Hot Spring 45.9%, Wartawan Beach 72.5%, Belerang Simpur Hot Spring 66.6%, and Way Belerang Hot Spring 65.2%. Those data indicate that Kalianda Area has potential to become geotourism area geoscience field campus with volcanology, geothermal, and oceanography learning aspects. In order to optimize the operational geoturism area needs to be equipped with cleanliness facilities, lodging, and scientific sign board. Kalianda Geoturism Area development is believed will improve the economy of the community around Kalianda Area.
