Drainage Analysis of Cihea Area, Haurwangi Subdistrict, Cianjur Regency, West Java

The research area is located on Cihea Area, Cianjur Regency, West Java at 107° 17'00'' E - 107° 20' 00'' E and 6° 51' 00'' S - 6° 53' 30'' S. The purpose of this research was to determine the drainage pattern characteristics of the research area and its relationship to the physical characteristics of the research area. The research method is studio analysis using Map Info software which produces several thematic maps such as drainage pattern, slope, and geological maps. In addition, satellite images are acquired through Google Earth software. Based on the results, the research has rectangular drainage pattern. It indicates that there is an influence of geological structure control on sedimentary rocks. This is also supported by the presence of elongated hills that may have been formed due to the fault structure. It is also in accordance with the results of previous geological research. Because the research area is influenced by geological structure control, it is suggested that the research area needs clear and integrated spatial and regional planning. Therefore, it can be concluded that the analysis of drainage pattern is important and related to the physical characteristics of the research area
