Since on soft soil, large settlement might be occur under loaded foundation without actual shear failure occurring, the map of bearing capacity based soil investigation in soft soil area e.g. Palembang is become important. Among the different in situ tests, sondir is a simple, quick, and economical test that provides reliable in situ continuous soundings of subsurface soil. In Indonesia, sondir is considered the most frequently used method for characterization of geomedia. This research focused on site characterization of soil properties based on sondir data. This procedure is very important due to management data of soil field test is still conventional and unstructured.
