Abstract

— The research area is located on Rancaekek District, West Java at coordinate 6°54'49,6" S - 7°2'55,3" S and 107°41'33,7" E - 107°50'15,6" E. This research aims to identify and analyze the geomorphological characteristics of the Rancaekek area. This research activity was conducted through a studio analysis approach with several media such as slope, drainage pattern, and geological maps, and also satellite images. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the research area has very gentle to flat morphological characteristics and dominated by anastomotic drainage pattern. The anastomotic drainage pattern proves that the research area has a modified drainage pattern condition from several interlocking river channels. The research area is composed by the dominance of lake deposits without any developed geological structure.. It can be seen from the geological map of the research area. Moreover, satellite imagery shows that the research area is dominated by residential, industrial, and shopping areas. Based on these geomorphological characteristics, it can be concluded that the research area has a high flood potential. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good
