Geopark Gunung Sewu merupakan kawasan karst yang ditetapkan sebagai UNESCO
Global Geopark (UGGp) sejak 2015 dan harus menjalani revalidasi setiap empat
tahun. Salah satu upaya mempertahankan status UGGp saat revalidasi adalah dengan
mengembangkan lokasi geowisata baru yang memiliki nilai ilmiah, edukasi,
konservatif, dan potensi ekonomi. Desa Karangasem, Kecamatan Paliyan, Kabupaten
Gunungkidul dipilih sebagai lokasi penelitian karena memiliki keragaman litologi
karbonat serta bentuk lahan karst yang beragam, seperti bukit karst, gua, dan telaga.
Namun, potensi tersebut belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal karena keterbatasan
fasilitas, serta belum terintegrasinya potensi geologi, ekonomi, dan budaya setempat.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi geowisata berdasarkan kondisi
geologi, geomorfologi, dan faktor penunjang lainnya sebagai dasar dalam menyusun
rekomendasi pengembangan geowisata berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan
meliputi metode kuantitatif, kualitatif, deskriptif, dan analitik, dengan tahapan
pemetaan geologi, pengukuran stratigrafi, analisis laboratorium (petrologi,
petrografi, mikropaleontologi, kalsimetri), observasi geomorfologi, serta penilaian
geowisata menggunakan metode Brilha (2016) melalui survei lapangan dan
wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa daerah ini disusun oleh Formasi
Kepek dan Formasi Wonosari dengan litologi napal, wackestone, packstone,
grainstone, rudstone, dan boundstone. Persebaran fasies batugamping menunjukkan
lingkungan pengendapan dari neritik tengah hingga neritik luar, didukung hasil
analisis mikrofosil. Bentuk lahan yang berkembang di daerah penelitian meliputi
dataran karst bergelombang dan conical hills, yang pembentukannya dikontrol oleh
variasi litologi dan ketahanan mekanik batuan. Hasil penilaian geowisata terhadap
delapan lokasi menunjukkan nilai ilmiah yang cukup tinggi serta potensi edukasi dan
wisata yang baik, sehingga Karangasem layak dikembangkan sebagai kawasan
geowisata berbasis edukasi dan konservasi yang mendukung keberlanjutan Geopark
Gunung Sewu. Namun, tantangan seperti risiko geologi, keterbatasan infrastruktur,
dan rendahnya kesadaran konservasi perlu diatasi melalui strategi pengembangan
berbasis zonasi, peningkatan kapasitas lokal, serta kolaborasi antara masyarakat,
akademisi, pemerintah, dan pengelola geopark.

ABSTRACT
GEOLOGY AND GEOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT
TO SUPPORT GUNUNG SEWU GEOPARK IN KARANGASEM

Gunung Sewu Geopark is a karst area that has been designated as a UNESCO Global
Geopark (UGGp) since 2015 and must undergo revalidation every four years. One of
the efforts to maintain UGGp status during revalidation is to develop new geotourism
sites that have scientific, educational, conservation, and economic value. Karangasem
Village, Paliyan Subdistrict, Gunungkidul Regency was selected as the research site
due to its diverse carbonate lithology and varied karst landforms, such as karst hills,
caves, and lakes. However, this potential has not been fully utilized due to limited
facilities and the lack of integration between local geological, economic, and cultural
potentials. This study aims to identify geotourism potential based on geological,
geomorphological, and supporting factors as a basis for developing recommendations
for sustainable geotourism development. The methods used include quantitative,
qualitative, descriptive, and analytical methods, with stages of geological mapping,
stratigraphic measurements, laboratory analysis (petrology, petrography,
micropaleontology, calcimetry), geomorphological observations, and geotourism
assessment using the Brilha (2016) method through field surveys and interviews. The
results of the study indicate that this area is composed of the Kepek Formation and
Wonosari Formation with lithologies of napal, wackestone, packstone, grainstone,
rudstone, and boundstone. The distribution of limestone facies indicates a depositional
environment ranging from mid-neritic to outer neritic, supported by microfossil
analysis results. The landforms developed in the study area include undulating karst
plains and conical hills, whose formation is controlled by lithological variations and
the mechanical strength of the rocks. The results of the geotourism assessment of eight
locations indicate a sufficiently high scientific value as well as good educational and
tourism potential, making Karangasem worthy of development as an education- and
conservation-based geotourism area supporting the sustainability of the Gunung Sewu
Geopark. However, challenges such as geological risks, infrastructure limitations, and
low conservation awareness must be addressed through development strategies based
on zoning, capacity building, and collaboration between communities, academics,
government, and geopark managers.
