Abstrak: Region developing can cause land conversion, especially in agriculture land. The value of agriculture land can be increased by integrated usage with another related aspects such as art and local culture in agrotourism. Alamendah village has many agrotourism potencies from its nature and agriculture recources that can be developed. But, it had not been developed yet by the people, especially for local prosperity and environmental balances. The evaluation of agrotourism potency is needed with purpose to identify agrotourism potencies and former aspects, assess sustainability of community, evaluate agrotourism program and management, and make recommendation for agrotourism development. The research held in Alamendah Village, Rancabali Sub-district, Bandung district from February until July 2014 to get informations to be analyzed. Agrotourism aspects had been analyzed through agrotourism properness assessment, SWOT analysis, Community Sustainable Assessment (CSA) analysis, and preferences and perceptions analysis methods. Thus, from the analyze processes resulted the recommendation for agrotourism development at Alamendah village, such as the most suitable and potential areas for agrotourism development, potential view for agrotourism background and foreground, agrotourism development strategy, and agrotourism program and activity schedule. The final result proved that Alamendah village has a lot of potencies for agrotourism activity that can be developed with local people. The appropriate strategy to develop those potencies is make agrotourism activities and supporting tourisms being optimal for tourism activity to attract visitors, get much advantages and environment continuous.

Judul: Evaluasi Potensi Agrowisata Desa Cikarawang, Kecamatan Dramaga, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Alih fungsi lahan yang terus terjadi mengancam keberlanjutan sistem pertanian di Indonesia, hal ini disebabkan oleh kegiatan ekonomi dan pembangunan yang lebih berorientasi pada kegiatan industri yang terletak di perkotaan. Pembangunan yang tidak berimbang antara kota dan desa menimbulkan permasalahan sosial dan ekonomi di perdesaan. Peningkatan nilai fungsi lahan di pedesaan perlu dikembangkan diantaranya melalui pengembangan agrowisata yang dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan keberlanjutan sistem pertanian. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Cikarawang. Aspek agrowisata dinilai menggunakan metode analisis aspek fisik dan biofisik, Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE), kelayakan agrowisata, persepsi serta preferensi warga dan pengunjung. Desa Cikarawang memiliki potensi agrowisata yang unggul di bidang lahan pertanian dan pekarangan yang dapat dikembangkan. Potensi lain yang ada di Desa Cikarawang belum banyak dikembangkan dan dikelola secara optimal oleh masyarakat setempat khususnya untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengevaluasi potensi agrowisata, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Desa Cikarawang memiliki potensi lanskap pertanian yang dapat dikembangkan sebagai obyek agrowisata. Masyarakat dan pengunjung menilai potensi agrowisata terutama pada lahan pertanian cukup baik dan harus terus dikembangkan untuk pengembangan Desa Agrowisata. Strategi yang tepat untuk mengembangkan potensi-potensi tersebut adalah kerjasama antar pengelola untuk bersatu demi terwujudnya Desa Agrowisata di Desa Cikarawang, mengoptimalkan obyek dan atraksi kegiatan agrowisata yang sudah ada dan obyek pendukung agrowisata lainnya, serta melakukan promosi yang menarik menarik pengunjung untuk berwisata

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
