Geology and geoheritage potential of Kampung Pulai, Gua Musang

The study area is located in Gua Musang, Kelantan, within 4°47'26.26"N and 101°56'56.09"E coordinates. This 5x5km2 study area is surrounded by plantation like palm plantation and rubber plantation and also heavy forests. The lowest elevation of the study area is 120m while the highest is 440m. The study focuses on the general geology and geoheritage potential of Kampung Pulai. The objectives of the research are: i) to create an updated geological map of Kampung Pulai,Gua Musang and ii) to assess geodiversity values of study area for geoheritage potential. The geology of the study area was determined by interpretation of secondary data and previous researches. There are four types of lithology found which are alluvium, rhyolite, limestone and slate. In this study, geodiversity index mapping is used to determine the geoheritage value of the study area. The geodiversity value in the study area was achieved by assessing the geomorphology index, hydrology index, lithology index and speleothem index. As a result, geodiversity index map is produced and geoheritage potential is determined.
