Abstract

Kulon Progo Regency is known to have unique geological conditions. This is proven by the establishment of five geoheritage areas in the region. The five areas are Suroloyo Peak-Kendil, Widosari Structural Remaining Hills, Eocene Nanggulan Formation, Kiskenda Cave, and Kliripan-Karangsari Mangan. This determination is based on the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources 13.K/HK.01/MEM.G/2021 concerning the Determination of the Geological Heritage (Geoheritage) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. With this determination, the five Geoheritage areas need to be preserved. The sustainability of a site will be well maintained if the site can provide a positive social impact in the form of improving the community's economy and scientific repertoire. This study aims to determine the potential for developing the Geoheritage area in Kulon Progo, especially in terms of tourism prospects. The method used is data collection on general aspects and strategic issues regarding geoheritage governance in Kulon Progo. The analytical method used is the SWOT analysis approach. The results of the study show that the Geoheritage area can be developed into an edutourism and geotourism area. However, it is necessary to develop a systematic and directed program plan. The implication of this research is the development of a Road Map for the Development of the Geoheritage Area in the next 5 years.
