Abstract:
Coastal area of Siung and Wediombo is a potential coastal line for the development of coastal nature tourism in Gunungkidul Regency. However, not many people know about the genesis or the process that causes the uniqueness of nature in the coastal region. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study that reveals various genesis and natural potentials that can support the development of this region as a potential coastal tourist area, as well as to disclose some related issues that must be addressed wisely. Geoecology is a basic concept that combines geomorphologi-cal views with aspects of the ecosystem. This concept is expected to be the solution to the above problem. Thus, the management of the coastal areas can be integrated, sustainable, and maintaining environmental functions, which also takes into account economics and ecological balance, supported by good community participation as well.
