ABSTRACT
Abstract: The Belitung Island is one of the most famous islands in Indonesia.
Baginda Hill is located on the south part of it, which has not become the major
attraction yet for visitors to the island. Moreover, this 110-meters-height hill is not
well known to the visitors and the story behind of it is rarely published. Besides,
there are many other places in Belitung Island which are very well known either
well promoted for tourism. This paper uses the methodological guidelines for
geomorphosite assessment and literature review. This paper also highlights the
geological and geomorphological conditions of Baginda Hill for geotourism
purposes. The hill is composed of Baginda Adamellite (the I type granite) and its
absolute age is ranging from 216 6 Million years ago. There are also some
lineaments around the hill, which directions are North-East South-West and
North-West South-East. These hill plays an important role in local identity, as the
myths behind of it and the cultural events that are frequently hold on this hill. This
paper considers the opportunities of geological and geomorphological conditions
from the Baginda Hill and also its geomythological aspect, not to mention, its myths
and legends to be the consideration for a further geotourism advancement in
Belitung Island.

I. INTRODUCTION
I.1 Background
Belitung Island is located on the Western part of Indonesia. It covers approximately 4,800.6
km square, and had a population of 271,868 in 2014 (Wikipedia, 2015). Administratively, it is a
part of the province of Bangka-Belitung Islands.
Belitung Island has many beaches and offshore-smaller islands for tourism activities, for
examples: Tanjung Tinggi Beach, Tanjung Kelayang Beach, Batu Berlayar Island, Lengkuas
Island, and Seliu Island. The main activities that tourists do in Belitung Island are mostly about
water-sport activities such as snorkeling and scuba diving.
Famous tourist destination in Belitung Island mostly located at Western part and Northern
part of Belitung Island. In contrary, the South-West part of Belitung is less popular than the
Western part. Even though the South-West part has spectacular and wonderful tourist destination,
but number of tourist visiting there is not as many as those who visit the Western part. The factor
causing that is less developed access in the past, like proper and comfort road, accessible public
transportation, and supporting facilities. Amazing destination but low accessibility is pointless.
Even though, the South-West part of Belitung now is having a great accessibility, but it still has
not yet as well-known as its Western part.
The South-West part of Belitung Island is in Membalong Districts. Membalong Districts
consist of 12 villages, one of them called as Padang Kandis Village. Like the other villages in
Belitung Island which offer beauty of nature with their specific characteristics, Padang Kandis
Village also offers its beauty that ready to be explored and opened for public. There are some
places in Padang Kandis Village that are already a part of the destinations for tourists purposes,
for examples Tanjung Kiras Beach and Penyabong Beach. Actually, there are other attractive
places that can be found in the Padang Kandis Village, one of them is Baginda Hill.
Baginda Hill is located in the Batu Lubang sub-Village, Padang Kandis Village. It
consisted of two hills, the first is called as Laki, located at 313'03.6"S; 10737'23.9"E, which
could not be climbed by the beginners. The second hill is called as Cewek, located at
312'56.7"S; 10737'09.0"E, which could be climbed without any specific techniques. The Laki
height is approximately 92 meters with its slope is ranging 40-65, while the Cewek height is
2
approximately 110 meters with its slope is ranging from 20-25. Because the different steepness
of both hills, which The Laki is steeper than The Cewek as seen in the Appendix 5, so The Cewek
hill is the one which usually called as the Baginda Hill as it is the one that can be normally climbed
by the majority of tourists. From the top of The Cewek hill, seen The Laki hill with its steepness
and trees around both hills.
The Baginda Hill is composed of I type Granite (as cited in Baharuddin and Sidarto, 1995),
as it is absolute age is ranging from 216 6 Million years ago (as cited in Barber, A.J., et al.,
2005).
The Baginda Hill is not quite famous as other destinations that located nearby, such as
Penyabong Beach. The most reasonable cause, why this hill is not that famous, is because it is
quite difficult to climb the hill for the majority of tourists. The infrastructures that are already
available to climb this hill are only two traditional stairs (as seen in the Appendix 7) that tied up
and anchored to the rocks of the Baginda hill itselves, which are not safety enough if there are a
lot of tourists come. The low safety also become tourists consideration to not climb the hill.
The other reasons are the main attractions, scientific information and stories behind this
hill is not well-told or pointed out by the villagers. The villagers know about some myths behind
it but they have no idea about how Baginda Hill was geologically formed or is geomorphology
appeared. By blending geological aspects of Baginda Hill with its local myths and stories will
make up good combination to attract more tourists to come.
This research will make the Baginda Hill as more known as a place where many researchers
do their research, will give more scientific information about Baginda Hill, Baginda Hill will be
noted for its historical background, Baginda Hill will be more famous and will be gaining more
visitors. This research will also make the local residents, government and private sector to be more
concerned to develop this geoheritage of Belitung Island.

III. METHODOLOGY
Method used in making this research was created by Pereira and Pereira (2010). This
method is divided into two main stages, which are inventory stage and quantification stage (see
Figure 3). Inventory stage includes four sub-stages and quantification stage includes two sub-
stages.
Figure 3. Proposed stages and sub-stages in geomorphosite assessment (Modified after Pereira,
2006; Pereira, et al., 2007)
The important goal of the inventory stage is selecting landform that can be defined as
geomorphosites by four kinds of identification (see Table 1)
Table 1. Potential geomorphosites identification criteria (after Pereira, 2006; Pereira and Pereira,
2010)
(ii) Landform aesthetics and peculiarity, compared with other situations in the
same or other areas;
9
(iv) Links between landforms and ecological issues such as fauna and flora
settlements.
b. Qualitative assessment
This sub-stage is used to determine intrinsic value, potential use, and required protection,
as shown in the Table 2. Scientific, ecological, cultural, and aesthetic define geomorphological
intrinsic value. Potential use defined by accessibility, visibility, and use of other natural or cultural
values. The last aspect, need for protection, defined by two criterias, deterioration and
vulnerability.

c. Geomorphosite Selection
Geomorphosites selection is based on their rank on previous sub-stage, qualitative
assessment. From the previous sub-stage, the highest total score is selected for characterization.
Geomorphosites selection uses criteria scores from qualitative assessment then grouping them to
4 different types as shown in the Table 3 (type I, type II, type III, and type IV).

d. Geomorphosite Characterisation
Detail description of each selected criteria for the geomorphosites as shown in the Table
4, completes the process involved in the compilation of the inventory. The information that already
collected is expected to support next sub-stage.
Table 5 to 8 are numerical assessment by Pereira, et al., (2007), and Table 9 is numerical
assessment by Kubalkov (2013). As shown in the Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8 and Table
9, the criteria used has some differences type of value. It shows that Pereira, et al., (2007) is more
complex and have more specific criteria rather than Kubalkov (2013).
b. Analysis of Results
In analyzing results from numerical assessment uses different method as Pereira suggested.
This sub-stage, new method is used, which can be seen on Table 10. It divides 100% into three
different groups that have its own percentage. The percentage is calculated from total score of
geomorphosites assessment divided by maximum score of numerical assessment times 100%. For
Numerical Assessment by Pereira the maximum score is 20 and Kubalkovs is 18.5. Hence,
classifying its percentage value and it has its own description recommendation (see Table 10).

IV.1 Results
The research data has gotten from direct field observations, which fulfill all of the methods
criteria, hence forming the results and further discussions. The Baginda Hill formed the basis of
the inventory of geomorphological heritage. It is a panoramic viewpoint where large landforms
can be perceived. The hill characterized by Baginda Adamellite (see Appendix 8). The hill could
observe a great variety of landforms. Baginda itself has been known scientifically as the name of
the Baginda Adamellite Formation (Baharuddin and Sidarto, 1995). The flora that can be seen
nearby the sites are pepper trees and palm trees that are planted by the residents. Hence, as seen in
the Table 1, the criteria needed is fulfilled.
Baginda hill is assessed qualitatively, as seen in the Table 2, from intrinsic value (IV),
potential use (PU), and need for protection (NP). From Geomorphological intrinsic value (IV),
scientific (Sc) has score of 3 (medium), ecological (Ec) 3 (medium), cultural (Cul) 5 (very high),
Aesthetic (Ae) 4 (high). From potential use (PU), accessibility (Ac) 4 (easy/good) and visibility
(Vi) 5 (very easy/very good). From need for protection (NP), Deterioration (De) has score of 1
(low) and Vulnerability 1 (low).
From scores given to each criteria in Geomorphosite Selection sub-stage, Baginda hill is
grouped in type II, as classified in the Table 3, because it fulfills the range of scores of each criteria.
Baginda hill fulfills the score of Sc=3, Cul 4 or Ae4, Ac3 and Vi4, De2 and Vu=1
Baginda hill in geomorphological aspect that can also be seen its geomorphological map
at Figure 4, is a 110 meters hill that composed by Baginda Adamellite (as seen in the Appendix
8). It could be said that this hill is an isolated-hill which located in low-lands, nearby the beaches.
Its slope is ranging from 20-25. The highest point is 110 meters while the lowest one is 20 meters.
Its distributary pattern is radial. There are some lineaments around the hill, which directions are
North-West South-East and North-East South-West. Exogenic processes that happen to this
hill are erosion and weathering. The land uses nearby are farms, mining sites and settlements. The
geological disasters that probably happen are landslides and mass movements.
The view from Baginda Hill can be seen in Appendix 2, 3, 4, and 6, and the view to Baginda
Hill can be seen in Appendix 1 and 5. The Figure in Appendix 1 and 5 shows that the road heading
to the Baginda Hill is already good in quality for even a bus to pass.
18
The Figure in Appendix 2 shows that the Baginda Hill is strongly evidence as an isolated
hill. The Figure in Appendix 3 and Appendix 6 shows the diversity of geomorphological aspects
nearby Baginda Hill as it also shows the view of the ocean directly from the hill. Appendix 4 shows
the diversity in flora nearby the hills, which means that the hills have important roles to the
ecology.
Baginda Hill has close relation to nearby residents. Many residents do culture-related
celebration on the top of the hill when they have recovered from sick, after catching fish, or other
reasons. Those celebrations are conducted by the local shaman. Local residents also believe the
chunk of rock on the top of the hill as a medium between human and unseen entity living in
Baginda Hill. People also believe that the visitors who visit Baginda Hill with bad intention and
menstruation for female will be misled in the journey. Local shaman also said that Baginda Hill is
heritage from previous ancestors because of the local belief.
The roads that go to Baginda Hill parking area are really good (see Appendix 1 and 5), and
after reaching the parking area, the visitors could just go by walk in the footpaths to the peak of
Baginda Hill in approximately 200 meters.
On the path from the parking area to the Baginda Hill, there are some vegetation that will
probably distract the visitor while they are on their walk. In some specific moment, the visitors
could also see wild monkeys and wild boars.
There is no kind of building built (see Appendix 4) on the site nor the path going to the
peak and as its natural process, the deterioration might be erosion and weathering. The possible
geomorphosite deterioration by natural or human causes in the future will be the used of this site
as the geotourism itself. As the number of visitors will increase, the buildings and other supporting
infrastructures will also be increased.
The Baginda Hill has not yet got a legal instrument neither by the government nor the
private. There are some hotels and restaurants nearby that located less than 5 kilometers from the
Baginda Hill, but the souvenirs has not yet the main interest from this site because of the lack of
interest and it is not the main intention from the residents to develop this site as it is not as well-
known as other tourism places.
The needs of further geomorphology and geological information, better safety
infrastructures and also legal acknowledgements by the government are highly required to be the
prequalification and its use as geomorphosite.
After Inventory stage is done, then entering Quantification stage. In the first sub-stage
(Numerical Assessment) two types of numerical are used. First is numerical assessment by Pereira
and second from Kubalkov.
Firstly, numerical assessment which created by Pereira, et al., (2007). For scientific value
(ScV), the score of rareness in relation to the area (Ra) is 0.75 (the most important),
integrity/intactness (In) 0.75 (Slightly damaged but still maintaining the essential
geomorphological features), representativeness of geomorphological processes and pedagogical
interest (Rp) is 0.67 (Good example of processes but hard to explain to non-experts), number of
interesting geomorphological features (diversity) (Dv) is 1.00 (more than 3), other geological
features with heritage value (Ge) is 0.33 (other geological features with relation to
geomorphology), scientific knowledge on geomorphological issues is (Kn) 0.25 (Medium:
presentation, national papers), Rareness at national level (Rn) is 0 (More than 5 occurences). From
20
the scores, the scientific value can be calculated by adding Ra, In, Rp, Dv, Ge, Kn, and Rn is 3.75.
For Additional values (AdV), the score of cultural value (Cult) is 1.00 (Material cultural features
related to landforms), aesthetic value (Aest) is 1.3 (High), ecological value (Ecol) is 0.38
(Occurrence of interesting fauna and/or flora) that can be seen from Appendix 6. From the scores,
additional values (AdV) calculated by adding Cult, Aest, and Ecol giving score of 2.68. For Use
Value (UsV), the score of Accessibility (Ac) is 0.64 (By car and less than 500 meters by footpath),
visibility (Vi) is 1.5 (Excellent for all relevant geomorphological features), present use of the
geomorphological interest (Gu) is 0.67 (Promoted/used as landscape site), present use of other
natural and cultural interests (Ou) is 1.00 (With other interest, with promotion and use), legal
protection and use limitations (Lp) is 0.67 (Without protection and without use restriction),
equipment and support services (Eq) is 1.00 (Hostelry and support services are less than 5 km
away). From the scores, use value (UsV) calculated by adding Ac, Vi, Gu, Ou, Lp, and Eq and get
the score of 5.48. For Protective Value (PrV), the score of Integrity/intactness (In) is 0.75 (Slightly
damaged but still maintaining the essential geomorphological features) and vulnerability of use as
geomorphosite (Vu) is 1 (Other, non-geomorphological features may be damaged. From the
scores, Protection Value (PrV) adding In and Vu getting score of 1.75. Then the total score
(ScV+AdV+UsV+PrV) of Baginda Hill according to this numerical assessment is 13.66
(maximum score 20)
Secondly, numerical assessment by Kubalkov (2013). For scientific and intrinsic values,
integrity has score of 1 (site without any destruction), rarity 0.5 (2-5 similar sites), diversity 1
(more than 5 visible features/processes), and scientific knowledge 0.5 (scientific papers on national
level). For educational values, representativeness and visibility/clarity of the features/processes
has score of 0.5 (medium representativeness, especially for scientists), exemplarity, pedagogical
use 0.5 (existing exemplarity, but with limited pedagogical use), existing educational products 0.5
(leaflets, maps, web pages), and actual use of site for educational purposes 0.5 (site as a part of
specialized excursion (students)). For economical values, accessibility has score of 0.5 (less than
1000 m from the parking place), presence of tourist infrastructure 1 (less than 5 km tourist
facilities), and local products 0.5 (some products). For conservation values, actual threats and risks
has score of 1 (low risks and almost no threats), potential threats and risk 1 (low risks and almost
no threats), current status of a site 1 (no destruction), and legislative protection 0 (no legislative
protection). For added values, cultural values has score of 0.5 (existing cultural features but
21
without strong relation to abiotic features), ecological values 0.5 (existing influence but not so1
important), and aesthetic values 0.5 (more than 3 colors), 0.5 (more than 3 patterns), 0.5 (3 and
more viewpoints). Then the total score of Baginda Hill according to this type of numerical
assessment is 12.5 (maximum score 18.5)
From numerical assessment sub-stage, it shows the total score for both type of numerical
assessment and then bring it to calculation and grouping in Result Analysis. For Pereira assessment
the total score is 13.66 and Kubalkov is 12.5. From the scores which could be used for the
calculation of percentage for both numerical assessments as shown in the equation 1 and equation
2.
Pereira, et al., (2007) (1)
13.66
100% = 68.3%
20
Kubalkov (2013)
12.5 (2)
100% = 67.57%
18.5
From equation 1 and equation 2, the total score from each numerical assessment shows that
Baginda Hill has range of ratio 66-100% (by using classification in Table 10) which means
Baginda Hill is classified as the group III which is more recommended for geotourism.
IV.2 Discussions
This researchs objectives are on the description of geomorphosite and comparation
between two numerical methodologies. The main focus is to take the most objective point of view
qualitatively and quantitatively about the consisting parameters in potential geomorphosites
As the result of the methods that this research used, it could be assumed that the Baginda
Hill cannot be underestimated as it is classified as Group III, which is more recommended for
geotourism.
However, there are still some obstacles ahead that need to eliminate, which are:
1. It is really hard to find the material for desk study as the lack of research and
published paper about this area.
2. The traditional ladders (as seen in the Appendix 7) that use by the visitors to go to
the top of Baginda Hill are not eligible for a long-term use as those are obsolete
supporting infrastructures that need to be renewed to the sustainable one
22
3. There are many wild animals which is actually a double-edged sword. In one side
it could attract the visitors about the variety of fauna that can be found there, on the
other side it could also be the obstacles for the visitors to reach the top of the hill.
4. Baginda Hill is not one of most-visited tourist destination in Belitung Island.
5. The variety of hand gift in Belitung Island is not really related to the Baginda Hill.
6. The promotion and sounding about the Baginda Hill from the government or the
private sectors has not yet wholeheartedly done.
The solution for those problems should be comprehensive and chronologically applicable.
The main treatment should be firstly started by doing research therefore all the geological and
geomorphological aspects of Baginda Hill can be observed and published internationally. After
that the enlargement of its infrastructure should be built by the government, which should be
environmentally and ecologically friendly, and the support from the private sectors and also mutual
relationship with the residents to considerably accept the Baginda Hill as the geoheritage of
Belitung Island, not only an understanding but also legally and notably legitimated by all the
parties.
Moreover, the development of infrastructure and the interest of research are
comprehensively will become better in the future. Later on, as the Baginda Hill will have been
already notably as the most-visited tourism destination in Belitung Island, it would be government
and private sectors whom its base is tourism that should be the one who responsibly maintain the
interest of Baginda Hill for its aesthetical side, the promotion, and the souvenirs, not to mention,
it also needs full supports from the local residents.
23
Basically, it is really interesting to learn the geology and geomorphology of Baginda Hill
which composed by Adamellite while enjoying the panoramic view of the South-West part of
Belitung Island, which is a part of Geomorphological Unit of Steep Sloping Adamellite Intrusion
Hills.
Based on the analysis, both methods has proved that Baginda Hill is more recommended
for geotourism as its criteria and geomorphosite characterization has already sufficient.
Even though in the method already use numerical assessment as the part of quantification
stage which means less subjectivity applied, but there will always subjectivity in giving the score
to some criteria as all criteria cannot be exactly measured.
Nonetheless, the methods being used in this research need to be refined and more
thoroughly improved as the criteria for the list of assessment is not yet complete and it needs a
further discussion for the subject.
For the purpose of making the Baginda Hill to be the geoheritage of Belitung Island, it is
necessary:
- To increase the number of research and published papers,
- To give more scientific information about Baginda Hill,
- To develop the infrastructure in Baginda Hill, and
- To make sure all the parties involved understand all of the circumstances faced.
Therefore, the goal to make Baginda Hill for geotourism will really happen.
The other thing that could be suggested from this research is that there are a lot of places
in Indonesia that also have not yet been observed well which actually have many interesting
geologically and geomorphologically backgrounds for example Rammang-Rammang Hill,
Bambapuang Mountain, and Latimojong Mountain, in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
