Representatives from Gadjah Mada College and PT Geo Dipa Energi have proposed the designation of Dieng Plateau in Indonesia as a Nationwide Geopark.
The School of Engineering on the Gadjah Mada College (UGM) and PT Geo Dipa Energi (PT GDE), in collaboration with the Central Java Provincial Authorities, are proposing that the Dieng Plateau in Central Java, Indonesia be designated as a Nationwide Geopark.
As a part of the method, a Focus Group Dialogue (FGD) exercise was held with representatives from the Central Authorities and Regional Authorities, in addition to tourism trade gamers, geothermal trade gamers, teachers,

UGM Geological Engineering Lecturer and Geothermal Skilled Dr. Pri Utami mentioned that Dieng supplies an atmosphere for guests can study hydrothermal processes in a really possible way. “I feel it will be significant for geology to remodel the legends about geothermal vitality in Dieng into scientific explanations. This can be a tribute to the ancestors who’ve packaged the values ??of environmental conservation in Dieng lengthy earlier than geothermal science and know-how developed.”
Pri Utami additionally mentioned that Geological Engineering college students from UGM not too long ago performed a area go to to the Dieng Geothermal Working Space to check the geological circumstances of an working geothermal area. It was a chance for the scholars to see how geothermal sources can be utilized effectively, together with in functions resembling tourism and agriculture.
Yudistian Yunis, President of PT GDE, emphasised that creating an ecosystem wanted to facilitate vitality independence and environment-friendly financial actions, resembling geothermal tourism and agriculture, would require a multi-party collaboration.
Herdian Ardi Febrianto, Common Supervisor of PT GDE, added that the era of electrical energy utilizing geothermal vitality is usually a distinct benefit of the geopark, because it supplies a studying instrument for environmental dialog utilizing clear and renewable vitality. He additionally emphasised the significance of the human component within the scientific area, regardless of the presence of synthetic intelligence know-how, as people with their consciences nonetheless must weigh and decide actions according to human values.
