Geographical skills that need to be shared by each geographer in general are map skills, field skills, and satellite image interpretation skills. To achieve field skills competency, a location is needed to be used as material for practicum studies for each subject. The Geography Education Field Laboratory can be studied in depth based on an analysis of the level of learning needs. The basis of the lab location requirements as a laboratory is seen from the laboratory function as an area to carry out careful and accurate testing and measurement of the phenomenon under study. The study was carried out through the identification of local landscapes by delineating the area through the utilization of satellite citera, and identifying potential from each area that was chosen descriptively. In this study, the Gunung Galunggung area can be used as a Physical Field Laboratory for Geography and Kampung Naga Education can be used as a Field Laboratory for Social and Cultural Geography.

The Tourism Sector in Tasikmalaya Regency has excellent potential to be developed towards ecotourism-based tourism areas.

Aktivitas tambang pasir besi di Pantai Cipatujah Kabupaten Tasikmalaya memberikan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan. Beberapa permasalahan pasca penambangan pasir besi yaitu; rusaknya ekosistem, kondisi lahan yang rusak, pemukiman penduduk terganggu polusi, rusaknya prasarana transportasi dan terjadi konflik di masyarakat. Kondisi pantai pasca penambangan pasir besi saat ini sudah mengalami perubahan, beberapa kawasan telah di manfaatkan untuk budidaya udang vannamei. Diperlukan zonifikasi kawasan pemanfaatan lahan pantai pasca penambangan pasir besi untuk meminimalisir dampak negatif yang timbul akibat aktivitas penambangan pasir besi. Metode penelitian ini adalah Deskriptif Survey, teknik pengumpulan data melaui survey lapangan, wawancara, studi dokumentasi dan studi literatur. Analisis data dilakukan melalui Pemetaan Kawasan Pantai Cipatujah dengan mengklasifikasikan kawasan menjadi tiga zona utama berdasarkan karakteristik aktivitas masayarakat dan potensi setiap kawasan pantai pasca penambangan pasir besi.
