Referring to the regional geological map sheet of Tanjung Karang, the existence of the Panjang regional fault in the Sukarame area (the research area) is still debated. This can be seen from the dashed line on the map, which indicates that the existence of the fault is still unclear. The objective of this research is to ascertain the existence of the Panjang Fault, together with information on its type and direction. The method used was to integrate the tectonic geomorphological sections through Digital Elevation Model (DEM) interpretations and field observations result. Field observations were made to confirm the existence of these structures. We found that the Panjang regional fault in the research area does exist. From the south of research area, the fault apparently continues into the research area. It is a normal fault in a northwest-southeast direction. The existence of the fault is also supported by the discovery of water springs during the field observations. The fault has cut aquifers so that the groundwater appears on the surface as water springs.
