Geology and geoheritage assessment of Lata Mawo, Kampung Lawar, Jeli Kelantan

The objective of this study that tittle geology and geoheritage assessment of Lata Mawo, Kampung Lawar Jeli Kelantan is to update geological map of Lata Mawo, Kampung Lawar Jeli with scale of 1: 25 000 and to assess geodiversity value at study area for geoheritage assessment. Lata Mawo basically has unique geological features that can been observed in the nature which included geological structures through the geoheritage values. The study area is within N 05°40’32.72” E101°40’21.04”, N 05°40’32.35” E101°43’09.78”, N 05°37’57.16” E101°43’09.86”, 05°37’57.18” E101°40’20.21” which around 5km x 5km along the area in Jeli, Kelantan. Jeli area is also strategically positioned near the central borders of Kelantan and Perak and the international borders of Malaysia and Thailand. The study area's maximum elevation reaches 760 metres, whereas the minimum at 140 metres. This study concentrates on the overall geology of Lata Mawo. The data of geological mapping been collected by traversing, geomorphology features and sample collections. Throughout this study, ArcGIS Software was utilised to process and create the maps. Following that, DEM data was utilised to build a detailed geological map of the research region by processing, evaluating, and interpreting the data. This study accessed the specific geological characteristics and landforms and conducts research and surveys on them. To do this, a modified version of the Modified Geosite Assessment Model (M-GAM) is employed. The M-GAM model is based on the original Geosite Assessment Model (GAM) and has similar indicators and sub-indicators, with a main and additional value that been assessed by two groups which is that have geology background and who do not have which from the result consists of high in scenic/aesthetic value from the survey that been done. There have been a several kinds of lithology rock units discovered in the research area included alkali feldspar granite, schist, gneiss, phyllite and quartzite.
