This research provides a study of a joint analysis of the study area located at the Batu Melintang, Jeli, Kelantan. This research aims to produce the study area's geological map, classify the study area's joint structure, and examine the dynamic and kinematic aspect of the study area's joint structure. Geological mapping was conducted to determine general geology of the area. The joint research study was carried out on the study area by morphological, stratigraphic and structural observation. Three types of rock exist in the study area, which are igneous rock, sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock. The rock that has found in the study area are hornfels, marble, limestone, gneiss, slate and schist. Then data collection was processed in laboratory works and analyses to get the result of the research. The result of the joint analysis was shown based on Rose diagram, and the maximum force direction in the study area also have been identified, and it is almost NE-SW direction. The recommendations are made to improve practice in assessing the joint analysis in order to obtain a more accurate result and possible outcome.
