Abstract
Tourism in Bali has surged post-COVID-19, with a 74.60% rise in arrivals from September 2022 to 2023, driving infrastructure development, notably in areas like Candidasa. However, safety concerns arise, especially in steep slope regions prone to landslides. This study employs cone penetration testing (CPT) data to assess its suitability for slope stability analysis amidst tourism development. By interpreting CPT data based on prior research, it shows obtaining ample soil parameters for such analysis is feasible. The research site, a Candidasa resort, exemplifies risks in hilly terrains. Fellenius-Morgenstern analysis reveals varying safety factors, indicating landslide susceptibility in certain scenarios. While CPT testing offers valuable insights, comprehensive geotechnical investigations are recommended for critical infrastructure projects to mitigate risks effectively. This study highlights the importance of comprehensive soil analysis and safety measures in the development of tourism infrastructure, especially in areas prone to geological hazards.
