Judul: Perencanaan Lanskap Ekowisata Mangrove di Desa Muara, Kecamatan Teluk Naga, Kabupaten Tangerang
Abstrak: Desa Muara merupakan wilayah pesisir yang memiliki banyak potensi sebagai lanskap ekowisata yang menarik. Salah satu potensi yang terdapat di Desa ini adalah hutan mangrove. Namun Desa Muara masih dihadapkan dengan masalah kerusakan lingkungan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian mengenai perencanaan lanskap ekowisata mangrove perlu dilakukan dengan memiliki tujuan (1) untuk menganalisis perencanaan lanskap ekowisata mangrove di Desa Muara, Kecamatan Teluk Naga, Kabupaten Tangerang (2) memberi alternatif perencanaan lanskap ekowisata mangrove di Desa Muara, Kecamatan Teluk Naga, Kabupaten Tanggerang. Metode yang akan digunakan dalam proses perencanaan dengan tahapan : persiapan, pengumpulan data, analisis, sintesis dan perencanaan. Indeks Kesesuaian Wisata, Analisis Spasial dengan GIS dan, Analisis Kualitas Lingkungan serta Analisis Deskriptif digunakan untuk menganalisis semua data yang dikumpulkan untuk membuat perencanaan ekowisata mangrove di Desa Muara, Kecamatan Teluk Naga. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, didapatkan area seluas 318.32 ha (56.37 %) yang sesuai untuk direncanakan sebagai ekowisata mangrove. Konsep perencanaan ekowisata ini adalah menjadikan Desa Muara sebagai lanskap ekowisata yang bertujuan menjaga kelestarian lingkungan serta memiliki fungsi edukasi dan partisipasi masyarakat.

Judul: Pengembangan potensi hutan mangrove untuk tujuan ekowisata di Desa Muara Kecamatan Teluknaga Kabupaten Tangerang
Abstrak: Mangrove forest which has a primary function to prevent abrasion, protection against wind, sea water intrusion prevention, and as an energy producer, in the last few years many have been converted to non-forest land, such as agriculture and fisheries. Therefore it is necessary for an attempt to save mangrove forests one of them is by developing environmental concept based mangrove forest ecotourism. This research aims to develop the potential ecotourism of mangrove forests in Muara Village, through identification of perception, motivation, and interest of the people in Muara Village and visitors to mangrove forest ecotourism development. The methods used were interviews, observation, and literature studies. The results of the research shows that Muara Village mangrove forests have the potential of tourist sites such as fishing, boating and enjoying the natural beauty of the mangrove forest. Perception of some of the community supports the tourist development of mangrove forests in Muara Village because there motivated to improve people's welfare. Meanwhile, the perception of visitors to the mangrove forests is expressed in their admiration for the natural beauty of Muara Village mangrove forests, but public facilities are considered unfavorble. Interest of most visitors is boating and fishing in the mangrove forest of natural tourist sites in Muara Village.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
