Indonesia has abundant natural resources, which can be utilized in various ways, one of which is for the tourism sector, both in the water and on land. Naturebased attractions are in great demand by tourists, but the location of these attractions tends to be in areas that are isolated and difficult to reach by tourists, one of them is the natural park on mountain tourist attraction. Tangkuban Perahu Mountain, therefore infrastructure and facilities are needed to facilitate tourists in reaching tourist attractions. However, in its development, tourism object managers tend not to heed the environment and take in to account economic income only, so that it is worried that environmental degradation will occur, even though the core of the attraction of natural tourism is the preservation of the natural environment itself. This study aims to identify the negative impacts of the physical environment that occur on land use, physical and chemical environmental components, biological components (flora and fauna) using the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approach. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that infrastructure and facilities development on Tangkuban Perahu Mountain has caused a negative physical impact, although not on all physical aspects measured. Negative impacts occur in aspects of land use, visual and flora fauna aspects and infrastructure development and other facilities. Tangkuban Perahu Mountain does not cause negative impacts on chemical aspects such as the characteristics of water, ambient air and soil. So it is recommended that in all development activities both infrastructure and facilities, it is better to first measure the impact or study of risks to the environment, use the green concept and pay attention to changes in environmental hues, and hopefully all stakeholders participate in all forms of sustainability physical environment in the Natural Park of Tangkuban Perahu Mountain area, so the main function of conservation forest is maintained.
