Judul: Perencanaan Lanskap Desa Barengkok Kecamatan Leuwiliang Kabupaten Bogor menuju Kawasan Agrowisata
Abstrak: Desa Barengkok is a village located in Leuwiliang, Bogor, Province of West Java. This village has + 450 Ha area whereas agricultural land has largest amount about 62,2% of the total village’s area. Be an independent agropolitan village is such a vision of Desa Barengkok. Landscape planning of agritourism becomes most potential thing to be developed in this village because of its potency in agricultural sector and human resources. This study was purposed to propose landscape planning in Desa Barengkok as an agricultural tourism area according to its landscape and society potency to pursue the village’s vision as an independent agropolitan and sustainable village. The planning process by Gold (1980) was used with resources approach, which consists of preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and landscape planning stages. Descriptive and spatial analysis were used to determine the suitability of the space. The results showed that 0,57 Ha welcome area (0,13%), 432,41 Ha production zone (95,42%), 13,62 Ha tourism zone (3,03%), and 6,4 Ha conservation zone (1,42%)

Judul: Landscape Planning for Agrotourism in Pranten Village Bawang District Batang Regency Central Java
Abstrak: Desa Pranten terletak di bagian selatan Kecamatan Bawang. Desa Pranten memiliki potensi pertanian yang baik serta menyajikan keindahan alam pertanian di perbukitan. Kawasan ini berpotensi dikembangkan sebagai kawasan agrowisata. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengindentifikasi karakteristik lanskap, menganalisis potensi dan kendala tapak yang akan dikembangkan sebagai kawasan agrowisata, dan menyusun perencanaan lanskap agrowisata di Desa Pranten, Kecamatan Bawang, Kabupaten Batang. Metode yang digunakan yaitu proses perencanaan berdasarkan modifikasi Gold (1980). Proses perencanaan terdiri dari persiapan, inventarisasi, analisis, sintesis, dan perencanaan. Analisis dilakukan secara spasial dan deskriptif pada aspek fisik dan biofisik, aspek sosial, aspek legal, aspek potensi pengembangan wisata. Hasil penelitian ini berupa rencana ruang, rencana sirkulasi, rencana vegetasi, rencana aktivitas dan fasilitas, rencana daya dukung., Pranten Village is in the south Bawang district. Pranten Village has good agricultural potential as well as offers the natural beauty of the hill country. The potential to be developed into agrotourism area. The purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics of the landscape, to analyze the potential and constraints that will be developed as agrotourism areas, and to plan the agrotourism landscape in Pranten village, Bawang district, Batang Regency. The method used was the planning process based on the modification of Gold (1980). The planning process consists of preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and planning. The analysis was done spatially and descriptively on physical and biophysical, social, legal, and tourism development aspects.

Judul: Sintesis dan Karakterisasi Membran Penukar Proton Polistirena Tersulfonasi sebagai Bahan Perangkat Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Sulfonated polystyrene can be used as proton exchange membrane (PEM). Characterization and performance of PEM has been performed on sulfonated polystyrene (PSS) using fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, scanning electrone microscope, and degree of sulfonation (DS) parameter. The success of the process indicated by the DS of the membrane PSS 3%, 5%, and 10% were 35.09%; 42,26%; and 48.15%, respectively. The infrared spectrum shows that sulfonation has been succesful in 10% PSS membranes as indicated by the presence of sulfonate groups (-SO3) at wavenumber 1029.39 and 1178.03 cm-1. PSS membrane surface morphology is categorized non-porouse. Methanol permeability with qualitative test showed that the membrane PSS 3%, 5%, and 10% have no infiltration. The results of measurements of the conductivity (σ) obtained by PS, PSS 3%, PSS 5%, and PSS 10% were (0.0114; 1.5511; 3.0919; and 3.8949) × 10-6 S/cm, respectively. So that the membrane PSS 3%, 5%, and 10% can be used as a device in direct methanol fuel cell.
