Judul: Policy development of sustainable management of upper Ciliwung Watershed, District Bogor
Abstrak: It is estimated that 13% or 62 than 470 watersheds in Indonesia are in critical condition. Ciliwung is one of the critical watershed. The research was conducted in the upper Ciliwung watershed, Bogor Regency. The purpose of this research were (1) to determine the sustainability index of upper Ciliwung watershed management, (2) to analyze local arena actions, and (3) to formulate policies development for upper Ciliwung sustainable watershed management. Analysis used to determine sustainability index of watershed management was multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS). To analyze action arena was used content analysis, interpretative structural modeling and exploratory descriptive analysis. To formulate development of sustainable management policy was used prospective analyze and morphology analyze. The results showed that sustainability index of upper Ciliwung was 47,23 or less sustainable status. Partially analysis showed that two dimensions were quite sustainable (economic dimension, accessibility and conservation technology dimension) and three others were less sustainable (ecological, social, and institutional dimensions). Local institutions in upper Ciliwung watershed were ineffective. Government policy did not touch the main issue in the watershed upper Ciliwung ie. there is no clear arrangement of property rights of land. The arrangements regulate rights and duties of individuals, groups, and state owners over commons property. It was necessary conditions in the sustainable management of upper Ciliwung watershed. Strategy intervention scenarios most likely to be implemented was moderate scenario and it was sufficient conditions. The scenario could improve the sustainability index of 47.23 (less sustainable) to 51,84 (quite sustainable)

Judul: Management  model  for  sustainable  settlement areas  in  the  upper  stream  of  Ciliwung  Watershed,  Bogor  District
Abstrak: The upper stream of Ciliwung watershed lies in Bogor District, has an important function for the surrounding areas, which regulated or managed water supply, whether floods or drought in the middle and the down stream. Ecological function as providers of ecosystem services have been degraded. This is becaused the rapid expansion and to be less controlled of settlement areas development. Settlement areas have occupied among cultivated area, protected area and riparian zone of Ciliwung river. The objective of this research is to analyse and evaluate land suitability for settlement areas; to analyse sustainability status of settlement areas; to analyse condition of institution that related with settlement areas and to design model for settlement areas management in upper stream of Ciliwung watershed. The research method used Geografic Information System (GIS) technique for analysing land suitability for settlement areas, evaluating land suitability for settlement areas with Bogor District Spatial Planning (RTRW) at 2000-2010 and 2005-2025, and also with land cover in 2006. Multi Dimentional Scaling (MDS) technique is used to analyse sustainability status of settlement areas. While Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) is used to analyse condition of institution that related with settlement areas. Model for managing settlement areas are designed with dynamic system approach for 20 years simulation. The research result showed that land suitability for settlement areas just only 19,89% of upper streams of Ciliwung watershed areas. Bogor District Spatial Planning (RTRW) was not fully implemented, 51,14% existing settlement areas were unfit with the location of RTRW. Sustainability status of settlement showed that settlement areas in Upper stream of Ciliwung watershed are less sustainable. Index of sustainability status of settlement areas are 41,16. Institutional analyses showed that coordination, consistency and community participation were key elements that rising up the settlement areas management in the upper stream of Ciliwung watershed. The dynamic model offered 5 scenarios to manage settlement areas at upper stream of Ciliwung watershed, theirs were: Without intervention (TI); population control (PP), public empowerment(PM), strengthening institutional of government (PK) and collaboration between government and community (KPM). The most effective scenario to manage sustainable settlement areas in the upper stream of Ciliwung watershed is KPM. Scenario KPM was implemented into 6 policies.

Judul: Berat Badan Dan Morfometrik Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis Macularius) Pada Berbagai Umur
Abstrak: Leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) adalah jenis tokek yang hidup di permukaan tanah dan aktif saat fajar dan senja. Studi morfometrik dalam leopard gecko masih terbatas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur dan membandingkan berat badan dan morfometrik leopard gecko dari berbagai umur. Sebanyak 14 ekor leopard gecko (3 ekor jantan dan 11 ekor betina) dikelompokkan menjadi empat kelompok: 0-6 bulan, 7-12 bulan, 13-18 bulan, dan 19-24 bulan. Pengukuran dilakukan setiap bulan selama tiga bulan sehingga hewan dapat ditimbang dan diukur lebih dari sekali. Selama 90 hari pascatetas, pengukuran berat dan panjang dilakukan setiap hari, dua hari, atau setiap minggu tergantung dengan tingkat pertumbuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok umur 0-6 bulan memiliki berat badan 10.69±5.68 g dan total panjang 12.79±3.68 cm; 7-12 bulan memiliki berat badan 16.57±4.52 g dan total panjang 16.7±1.23 cm; 13-18 bulan memiliki berat badan 21.12±3.13 g dan total panjang 19.4±1.15 cm; dan 19-24 bulan memiliki berat badan 27.9±1.53 g dan total panjang 20.8±1.51 cm. Dapat disimpulkan pada leopard gecko kelompok umur 0- 6 bulan memiliki pertumbuhan yang lebih bervariasi pada berat badan, panjang kepala, panjang kaki belakang, dan panjang ekor dibandingkan dengan yang lain.
