The research of soil structure stability at Sukuh Temple was carried out in order to seek
the answer to geotechnical and geological issues of the temple?s environment. This National
Heritage Site, which,was built around 14th century AD,has some environment disturbances caused
by developing settlement area, tourism, and mining. Furthermore, theexistence of mining activity
at the site as shown by the tunnels and caves in the underground of the Temple?s area, could
makepotentiall triggers for landslide in the future of the temple.
Considering the major influence of mining activity in the area of this site, the soil
structure study is necessery for focusing to assess the threats caused by this mining activity in the
Temple?s area. Geotechnical survey and geological survey condition have been done to collect
data for this study. The survey were also been done for identifying other aspect such as earthquake
in surrounding area of the Temple.
