INTRODUCTION

The research area is attracting several

investors in property field. There is recently
property development that now already
occupied the slope of Pasir Nini Mount.

Supported factors:
compact lithology that good for
fondation,
spring water on the fault plane, and
the good accessibility to the main road
of Bandung-Majalaya.
The hindrance factor:
landslide problem,
active fault

METHODOLOGY
Mind frame of this research follow to deductive
pattern.
variables of
structure and landform

the strike slip

fault

analysis
with statistic test
active fault

Statistic test was used are x2 method to

know normality of data distribution and t-test
to know that river pattern is controlled by
fracture pattern at degree of error () is 5%.

x = (fo-fe) /fe
2

with x2 (quadratic chi of calculation result) fo

(total of observation data), fe (total of
expectation data) (after Sugiyono, 1999).

t =

IxyI
[(x2/nx) + (y2/ny)]

with t (t of calculation result), x (average of fractures

data), y (average of river segments data), x (deviation
standard of fractures data), y (deviation standard of
river segments data), nx (total of fractures data) and
ny (total of river segments data) (after Krumbein,
1965).

Bifurcation ratio (Rb) is a total of

grade river n is divided by total
of grade river n+1.
If
Rb<3 or Rb>5
then that
watershed area is controlled by
active fault (after Verstappen,
1983).

GEOLOGICAL SETTING

(after Dam, 1994)

Qda (lake deposit and alluvial)

formed in Holosen-Recent, Qmt
(tuff of Malabar-Tilu volcanics)
formed in late Pleistocene, Qwb
(andesite lava of Waringin-Bedil
or old Malabar) formed in early
Pleistocene (after alzwar et al,
1992).

The paterns of rivers and fractures

Rivers on Quaternary volcanic

rock are controlled by active fault

Supported by analysis result of bifurcation rasio (Rb) at

Barubug River that estimate on 2 to 2.5 range

Watershed area of Barugbug is

controlled by active fault.

CONCLUSION AND SUGESSTION

The fault in research area is active fault. It is
indicated by rivers patern are controlled by
fractures patern, value of bifurcation ratio
among 2 to 2.5 range and moving of
infrastructure facility is cut by fault.
The continue and detail research should be
due to know degree of fault activity. This step
is important because that Ciparay Region as
housing development to recent.
