Abstract

The three main pillars of geoheritage are education, conservation, and sustainable development of local peoples. Mount Muria is a complex of quarternary volcanoes that form a large peninsula in the northern part of Java. The composition of K series magma (the Old Muria) and high-K alkali (the Young Muria) is very different from the composition of volcanoes in the main land which are Calc-alkali.Detailed field observations of the targets indicate on Mount Muria many phenomena that can be used as geoheritage candidates, such as: dry maar Bambang and wet maar Gunung Rawa; pillow lava Banyumanis; volcano parasite Puso, and twin volcanoes Ragas and Bako; litoral fossiliferous sedimen at Gajah River; various lithology at North Gelis River and South Gelis River; Tiga rasa and lima rasa water spring with different flavors.However misuse in land use has resulted in disasters, especially landslides and flash floods in South Muria.
