Modified-Geosite Assessment Model (M-GAM) was used and data were collected from 40 visitors and 6 experts. The assessment results provided a detailed evaluation of the site’s conditions and potential as geotourism destination. Scores for various indicators and sub-indicators were categorized into five grades, ranging from low (0.00) to very high (1.00), culminating in an overall ranking that identified areas of improvement. Ciwadon Cave achieved a main value score of 6.67 and an additional value score of 9.14, placing it in field Z32 were achieved.
