Abstract
The paper aims to determine the condition of Parangwedang as hot spring source in Parangtritis, Bantul, Yogyakarta and provide a guidance to develop Parangwedang as one of tourism destinations by controlling geological factor. The study is limited to examining the physical condition in the form of color, turbidity, odor, temperature and chemical condition (pH), compositions of calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), silica (SiO 2 ), magnesium (Mg), bicarbonate (HCO 3 ), sulfate (SO 4 ) and chloride (Cl) and water source debits of Parangwedang hot springs as part of geohydrology research. The methodology used in the paper is divided into three steps. Firstly, the methodology was based on orientation and survey location. Then, it examined mapping the hot water temperature distribution. Lastly, it was implementing laboratory analysis of rocks and water. As a result, the paper portrays that there are potential water of hot of spring which meets the standards as clean water and the heat capacity can be utilized to support as geological tourism at Parangwedang, Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Highlights
Natural resources are being popular among tourism industry, for example in Bantul, Yogyakarta, which offers several beaches such as Parangtritis, Samas, Baron, Kukup, Krakal and Glagah Beach
Parangtritis and surrounding areas that lie in the South Central Java Plato zones which are formed by karst mountains are bordered by Baturagung Strip, and beside around Opak river estuary is a coastal alluvial plain (Pennekoek, 1949)
Are the conclusions after researchers conducting the research: First, the rocks in the Parangtritis area are structured by Tertiary rocks which are composed by volcanic clastic sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks and clastic sedimentary carbonates, as well as surface sediment Map Quaternary aged
Summary
Natural resources are being popular among tourism industry, for example in Bantul, Yogyakarta, which offers several beaches such as Parangtritis, Samas, Baron, Kukup, Krakal and Glagah Beach. Those places are well known for their eye catching view of the nature that portrayed in the area. Geotourism as a natural attraction is being promoted alongside with the beautiful landscape of the beach. It uses geothermal fluid consisted of water, steam, and fumaroles that are carried out of the surface in the tourism activities. The development of geotourism can be an added value that increases local revenue and the welfare of the population
