Abstract

Geological disaster potential is a scope that is prone or easy for disasters to occur. Each geosite has a hilly area and directly below it is the main river, namely the Batang Merangin river, which can allow landslides or floods or overflows of water to rise at any time. In order to prevent this from happening, research was carried out using observation and analysis, as a comparison the parameters used by Kubalikova (2013), the classification of slope slopes by Rahmawati (2023), and the classification of land movement vulnerability zones issued and the calculation of the hazard index by BNPB (2016) were used. As a result in Merangin Jambi Geopark area has geological disaster potential. The Tantan Granitoid Geosite is at risk of flooding, the Jeram Ladeh Geosite and the Teluk Gedang Geosite are at high risk of landslides, and the Muara Karing Geosite is at high risk and susceptible to mass movement.
