Judul: Evaluasi Penerapan Konsep Kota Hijau di Kota Tangerang Selatan
Abstrak: Aktivitas yang terjadi di lanskap perkotaan menyebabkan berbagai masalah lingkungan. Kota Tangerang Selatan merupakan kota penyangga bagi Jakarta karena lokasinya memiliki berbagai permasalahan yang belum terselesaikan. Kota hijau atau kota berkelanjutan adalah kota yang diintegrasikan dengan lingkungan lokal yang menggunakan metode keberlanjutan dalam memproduksi energi, daur ulang air, membuang sampah, dan mengurangi polusi terhadap air, lahan, dan udara. Penelitian ini bertujuan memberi penilaian terhadap lanskap kawasan perkotaan khususnya di Kota Tangerang Selatan dalam menerapkan konsep kota hijau dengan melihat peran dari pemerintah, pengembang swasta, dan masyarakat serta mengukur tingkat kebahagiaan masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian adalah metode survey lapang mengacu pada Asian Green City Index. Terdapat delapan kategori keberlanjutan dengan hasil evaluasi berupa kinerja Kota dalam menerapkan kota hijau adalah Energy and CO2 (42.40%), Land use and buildings (49.17%), Transport (51.15%), Waste (38.80%), Water (51.75%), Sanitation (47.96%), Air Quality (69%), dan Environmental Governance (66.9%). Hasil keseluruhan Kota Tangerang Selatan dalam menerapkan kota hijau adalah 52.15% dan kedudukan Kota Tangerang Selatan dalam tabel performa ada di rentang rata-rata. Tingkat kebahagiaan masyarakat diperoleh dari hasil kuesioner dan wawancara. Tingkat kebahagiaan masyarakat yaitu 40% sangat bahagia, 55% bahagia, dan 5% kurang bahagia.

Judul: Evaluasi Penerapan Konsep Kota Hijau di Kota Tangerang
Abstrak: Development of urban areas grew rapidly. Increasing physical development of the city cause the imbalance between urban growth and the attempt to increase the quality of the environment. The condition makes an uncomfortable city to live. Therefore the future urban planning could be directed to use the green city concept. Green city is a healthy city that considers the aspects of ecological planning. This research was conducted in Tangerang city by using Gap Analysis to find out the actual condition in applying the concept of green cities and comparing it with the ideal condition. The evaluation showed that implementation of green city concept in Tangerang city was still continue. It could be seen from the implementation of eight indicators of green city which had not been maximized, and spreaded through the region.

Judul: Apatite Growth Optimation on Chicken Mucouse by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Characterization
Abstrak: Some experiment had been conducted to grow apatite from supersaturated solution of calcium phosphate ions on chicken mucouse. The calcium and phosphate ions were originated from Ca(NO3)2 and (NH4)2HPO4. Carbonate ions from (NH4)2CO3 was also used as starting solution. Experiment was carried out within about 5 hours at temperature 370 C and pH 7. Value of Ca+ : PO4 3- was 1.67, while molar ratio of CO3 2- : PO4 3- was 0.5 : 1. Molarity of molar ratio CO3 2- : PO4 3- variated approximately 0.15 : 0.30, 0.51 : 1.02, and 0.90 : 1.80. Mass of mucouse powder was constant 0.75 gram. The analysis result of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) showed that the precipitation was apatite carbonate type A and B. In these experiment it was found out that the mucouse reduce the crystallinity of apatite precipitant, and the growth of apatite crystal was optimum at solution with molar ratio CO3 2- : PO4 3- about 0.15 : 0.30.
