Abstract
The research area is located on Jatigede and surrounding areas, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia. It is located at coordinate 6°48'26,1" S - 6°56'31,7" S and 108°3'36,0" E -108°11'45,1" E. The purpose of this research is to determine the geomorphological characteristics of the research area and its relationship with the geology of the research area. This research uses studio analysis methods and field observations. Studio analysis consists of several activities which include analysis of slope, drainage patterns, and land use in the research area. The data used includes slope and drainage pattern map, also satellite imagery of the research area. The central to eastern part of the research area is located in an area dominated by elongated and partially curved hills with moderately steep to very steep slopes. Relatively sloping area is on the northeastern edge of the research area. Rectangular and fault trellis drainage patterns dominate the research area which shows active geological conditions. Field observations at several locations indicated that there was a predominance of sedimentary rocks in the research area with several indications of geological structure such as offsets, drag folds, and escarpment. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the research area has interesting geomorphological characteristics and can be one of the locations for studying geology
