Geology of fault analysis in Palanro kec Mallusetasi keb Barra, Indonesia

Research area is located in Palanro of Mallusetasi District, Barru regency, South Sulawesi Province. The research area located on northwest of South Sulawesi. This area has a complex geological structure, as well as 3 tectonic plate movements which forms many structures such as joints, folds, and fault. The method used in fault analysis are lineament analysis, kinematic analysis and dynamic analysis. The lineament analysis will be used for determination of major fault in the study area. Kinematic and dynamic analysis will conducted in order to identify the type, movement and major force of the faults in the study area as well as the effect of the fault to the study area. The main purpose of conducting the geological research is to recommend the risk mitigation against geo hazard such as earthquake, flooding and landslide in Barru. There are Salo Jampue strike-slip fault determined in the study area which occurred during Miocene which creates geological structures such as shear joints and folds. The principle stress direction are relatively in NE-SW direction
