In general, the research area has complex geological characteristics. Wadas Malang is non-volcanic area, dominated by sedimentary rocks, transition between Waturanda and Penosogan Formation. Wadas Malang area has a hot spring manifestation which may indicate geothermal potential. Unfortunately, this geothermal manifestation has not yet been seriously developed. Absolutely, this potential could be integrated with Sindaro waterfall as one of geotourism destination at the Karangsambung-Karangbolong National Geopark. Wadas Malang hot spring interpreted as non-volcanic geothermal system. The occurrence of this surface manifestation could be identified using Fault and Fracture Density (FFD) method, lyneaments analysis from SRTM and digital topography data. Regional geology and geochemistry data of the hot spring manifestation from the literature have been used as reference in this study. This study indicated that the occurance of the Wadas Malang hot spring is related with outflow system which are controlled by Kedungkramat sinistral fault as a result of tectonic deformation. The occurrence of this manifestation are not only controlled by fractures, but also by regional hydrology, contact and formation dips.
