Abstract

The Batu Gilang site is an area with historical remains of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom which is now being developed for recreational and educational activities. Located on a small hill with a height of 150 meters above sea level. Surrounded by attractive natural nuances with hills with steep slopes to the south, small hills to the west, plains with rice fields to the north and east. As civilization develops and culture changes, the use of natural land for tourist areas or other uses is increasing rapidly. Land use to support human activities often does not predict the land^s ability to be developed. Technically, each land has the ability to support activities on it. Each capability value is controlled by engineering geological characteristics which are the basis for good land development and do not cause losses in the future. However, data on the characteristics of engineering geology is not yet well presented in every region, so it is necessary to carry out research on the characteristics of engineering geology. The methods used in the research are mapping and quantitative surveys taking into account the geophysical conditions of the land. Geophysical conditions that are characteristic of engineering geology are presented as the basis for land development, including: rock units, slope slope, ground water and surface water, soil type, and the potential for geological disasters. All of these characteristics are used in drawing conclusions about the Engineering Geology Characteristics of the Batu Gilang Site and Surrounding Area.
