Drainage Pattern Characteristics of Jatinangor Area, Sumedang Regency, West Java

The research area is located on Jatinangor District, West Java at coordinate 6°52'57,9" S - 6°57'33,1" S and 107°44'55,9" E - 107°49'0,5" E. This research aims to identify drainage pattern to the physical characteristics of the research area. This research was conducted through studio analysis using several thematic maps such as drainage pattern, slope, and geological map and also satellite images. Based on the results, it can be seen that the research area has parallel drainage pattern. The parallel drainage pattern shows that the research area is an elongated landform. In addition, it also shows that the research area is composed by relatively hard rocks such as volcanic rocks. It is consistent with the results of previous geological research which show that the research area consists of several types of volcanic rock. The characteristics of drainage patterns, slopes, and rock types are interrelated so that analysis of drainage pattern is important and useful for identifying the physical characteristics of a particular area.
