Abstract

Summary

This paper focuses on investigating the geomorphological conditions around Hindu and Buddha Temple, especially Bojongmenje Temple, using geoinformatics studies. this investigation was conducted to investigate the temples location geomorphological characteristic, specifically in Java, by satellite imagery, DEM data, and field and hand specimen observation. From these characteristics, the relation of the peoples that live in that era with its geological and geomorphological conditions, and the location pattern for the temples construction can be inferred. Geoinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops and uses information science and science infrastructure to address the problems of geosciences. One of the fields that use geoinformatics study is geoarchaeology. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools because it can be used for gather, transform, manipulate, analyse, and produce information related to the surface of the earth. This study sh ows that the geoinformatics studies support us to understand the history of the past. It helps us to understand the pattern of the temple location and also the relation of the people on that era with its geological conditions.
