Abstract

This study explores the geotourism potential of Teletubbies Hill in Wukirharjo Village, Yogyakarta, through detailed topographical and geomorphological mapping. Employing a terrestrial survey method using Total Station instruments, the research generates high-resolution elevation data to assess landforms and slopes shaped by ancient volcanic processes associated with the Semilir Supervolcano. Morphographic and morphometric analyses reveal that the site consists of structural hills with slopes ranging from 8% to 20%, categorized into two development zones based on slope steepness. The findings support the suitability of Teletubbies Hill for sustainable geotourism initiatives that combine education, recreation, and conservation. Proposed developments include the construction of a geological museum and an outdoor geological park to highlight the region's volcanic heritage and geological features. This integrated approach offers a framework for transforming underutilized landscapes into educational geotourism destinations. While the reliance on terrestrial methods limits broader geological context, future research could incorporate remote sensing and socio-economic feasibility assessments to enhance planning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the development of geotourism in the Prambanan region of Yogyakarta by integrating geological, geophysical, and cultural data to design a strategic geotrail. Located along the Opak Fault and rich in volcanic history, Prambanan features diverse geosites such as Tebing Breksi, Lava Bantal Berbah, and Candi Abang. Through a multidisciplinary methodology combining geological mapping, gravity surveys, and cultural site assessments, six key geosites were evaluated using Kubalikova’s framework. Tebing Breksi emerged as the most feasible site due to its rich pyroclastic breccia formations and cultural functions, while other sites showed moderate to high potential. Geophysical analysis using the Lacoste & Romberg gravitymeter revealed fault structures critical to infrastructure safety and disaster mitigation. The study proposes the development of integrated geotrails supported by educational panels, improved facilities, community involvement, and conservation strategies. By connecting geological significance with cultural heritage and local livelihoods, this research supports the sustainable enhancement of tourism infrastructure in Prambanan. The findings provide valuable input for policymakers, tourism planners, and educators, emphasizing the role of geoscience in destination development. Limitations include the need for deeper geotechnical and socio-economic impact studies. Future research may explore visitor engagement and smart tourism technologies for enriched geosite experiences.
