Abstrak: Kabupaten Belitung memiliki keindahan dan kekayaan alam yang melimpah serta keragaman lanskap budaya. Desa Tanjung Binga dikenal sebagai kampung nelayan di Kabupaten Belitung karena masyarakat lokal mayoritas bekerja sebagai nelayan dan mereka mengelola perikanan sebagai bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Keunikan desa ini dinilai potensial sebagai daya tarik wisata budaya. Namun, potensi lanskap Desa Tanjung Binga tersebut belum dikembangkan secara optimal. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah merencanakan lanskap wisata budaya Desa Tanjung Binga yang mendukung kelestarian alam dan budaya setempat. Tahapan penelitian yang dilakukan meliputi persiapan, inventarisasi data, analisis, sintesis, penyusunan konsep, dan perencanaan lanskap. Analisis dalam perencanaan ini menerapkan metode spasial dan deskriptif pada aspek fisik dan biofisik, aspek nonfisik, serta preferensi masyarakat dan wisatawan potensial. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, 18,53% desa berpotensi untuk dikembangkan untuk wisata budaya, 64,91% cukup potensial, dan 16,56% tidak sesuai untuk dikembangkan. Hasil akhir dari penelitian adalah rencana lanskap wisata Desa Tanjung Binga berdasarkan konsep nilai rekreasi dan edukatif melalui pengenalan budaya dan keindahan alam pesisir, yang mendukung pelestarian budaya bahari. Rencana lanskap meliputi rencana tata ruang, sirkulasi, aktivitas, fasilitas, dan vegetasi., Belitung Regency has abundant natural beauty and resources, as well as cultural diversity. Tanjung Binga Village is well-known as a fishing village because the local people predominantly work as fishermen and they manage fisheries as part of their daily lives. The uniqueness of this village is considered potential as a cultural tourist attraction. However, the potential cultural tourism landscape of Tanjung Binga Village has not been developing optimally. The main objective of this study is to make a landscape plan for Tanjung Binga cultural tourism that supports the natural and cultural conservation of the village. The research stages include preparation, data inventory, analysis, synthesis, concept development, and landscape planning. The analysis in this study applied spatial and descriptive methods to the physical and biophysical aspects, non-physical aspects, including the perceptions and preferences of the community and potential tourists. Based on the analysis result, 18,53% of the village has potential to be developed for cultural tourism, 64,91% is moderately potential, and 16,56% is not suitable for development.

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.
