Abstract

The Berambai is one of the areas in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, which has a tourism potential related to geological uniqueness and landscapes. The research aims to identify geomorphological and geological diversity, to determine the distribution of geotourism potential, and to identify potential environmental damages. The method used includes literature study, field surveys, data processing, and analysis. The results show the diversity of geomorphologic conditions include anticline hill (20%), syncline hills (55%) and fault block (15%). On geological conditions, there are a variety of lithology units which include Berambai Limestone (6,6%), Puncak Samarinda Sandstones (36,2%), and Berambai sandstones (57,2%). Also, there is a fault on the eastern of the study area. The distribution of geotourism potential in the Berambai includes: Puncak Samarinda, Berambai caves, Berambai waterfalls, fishpond, Puncak Panorama, and mud volcano. The potential for environmental damages in the Berambai area includes changes in secondary forest to oil palm plantations, clearing land for cultivation or settlement, clearing land for other purposes, which are possible to be minimized or overcome by sorting out priority areas of open land/shrub lands for re-vegetation, revegetation of open land areas/shrubs with considerations of regional biodiversity, compliance and law enforcement of government regulations in spatial and area planning as well as other legal products for land clearing activities, construction of buildings and regional infrastructure. The impacts of the research are give the geological value of the area for tourism and educational purpose, and concern on environmental mitigation of the area.
