Abstrak: Bangsa Indonesia tidak hanya dikarunia kekayaan alam yang melimpah, tetapi juga keindahan alam yang mempunyai daya tarik yang sangat mengagumkan. Keindahan alam pegunungan, pantai dan lautan serta bangunan-bangunan peninggalan nenek moyang, kesenian, dan adat istiadat yang luhur dapat dimanfaatkan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan rakyat Indonesia melalui kegiatan pariwisata. Pariwisata alam dikenal sebagai ekowisata yang berorientasi pada aspek kelestarian sumberdaya alam serta pendidikan lingkungan. Ekowisata adalah wisata berbasis alam yang melibatkan pendidikan, interpretasi dari lingkungan, dan dikelola secara berkelanjutan. Adanya ekowisata mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat disekitar kawasan. Dampak bagi masyarakat dapat berupa dampak positif dan negatif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini terangkum dalam dua pernyataan. Pertama, mengetahui dampak sosio-ekonomi yang diterima oleh masyarakat lokal sebagai akibat hadirnya ekowisata. Kedua, mengetahui dampak sosio-ekologi yang diterima oleh masyarakat lokal sebagai akibat hadirnya ekowisata. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Malasari, Kecamatan Nanggung, Kabupaten Bogor, Provinsi Jawa Barat pada bulan Maret 2011. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pengolahan data dan hasil penulisan skripsi pada bulan Mei-Juli 2011. Penentuan lokasi penelitian dilakukan secara sengaja (purposive) dikarenakan karakteristik yang sesuai dengan penelitian. Data primer didapatkan dari hasil kuesioner, wawancara, dan pengamatan. Sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari instansi-instansi terkait. Responden dipilih menggunakan teknik simple cluster random sampling. Seluruh kampung penelitian dibagi menjadi dua kluster yaitu kampung yang jauh dan kampung yang dekat jaraknya/aksesnya dengan ekowisata. Jumlah kampung sampel ditentukan secara purposif yaitu dua kampung. Jumlah total responden dalam penelitian ini adalah 60 individu. Data dari hasil penelitian dianalisisis menggunakan uji statistik Chi-Square dengan nilai alpha () 10 persen. Hasil olahan tersebut, kemudian dianalisis dan disajikan dalam bentuk tabel frekuensi dan tabulasi silang.

It caused a lot of conflicts between local communities and national park officials. Many case studies showed that the local communities has used the natural resources for construction materials, fuel wood, medicine, food, cultural needs, forages, hunting, handicraft, gold mining, agriculture land, and settlement. There was clear evidence that in Gunung Halimun Salak National Park, during 15 years period (1989-2004), forest cover area decreased by more than 25%. The objectives of the research are: 1) to identify socio-economic variables causing landuse and landcover change; 2) to estimate influence of key socio-economic variables; 3) to estimate the need of agricultural land and settlement for local communities; and 4) to estimate the direct benefit value of the national park. Selection of sampling location was used by stratified cluster sampling. Socio-economic data collected from interviews with 900 head of households which lived in 30 villages in and around the national park. The technique of data processing analysis were done using spatial analysis, descriptive analysis, linear regression analysis, population pressure analysis, and substitution and market price analysis. The result of analysis showed that the population growth, population density, land ownership, agricultural land and settlement expansion are the key variables that influenced landuse and landcover change. The need of agricultural land was 0.54 hectares per person, and the direct benefit value of the national park was more than IDR 237 billion per year.

The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg.
