This study uses morphotectonic features and GIS to identify active faults in the Cikandang Watershed, suggesting critical tectonic activity.

The analysis reveals significant tectonic impact on the watershed's shape, indicating possible active faults.
Higher bifurcation ratios in sub-drainages suggest increased tectonic activity, while elevated drainage density implies vulnerability.
Comprehensive morphotectonic assessments are vital for determining earthquake hazards in tectonically active regions.
Findings align geomorphic indices with geological features, pinpointing fault zones requiring ongoing monitoring.

Fahira et al. (2025) studied this question.
