Judul: Strategi Komunikasi dalam Pengembangan Wisata Kampung Naga, Kecamatan Salawu, Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran komunikasi dalam proses pengembangan wisata. Perkembangan sektor kepariwisataan saat ini tidak terlepas dari peran komunikasi, terutama komunikasi pemasaran. Salah satu faktor bangkitnya pariwisata adalah peran serta dari masyarakat itu sendiri, yang diwujudkan melalui komunikasi pembangunan. Saat ini ditemukan kesenjangan antara kesiapan masyarakat sekitar wisata dengan upaya pengembangan wisata yang sedang terjadi. Oleh karena itu, berbagai strategi komunikasi dilakukan untuk meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat, meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat dan mengubah perilaku masyarakat ke arah terciptanya pengembangan wisata yang berkualitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sensus terhadap pengurus dan non pengurus pengelola wisata HIPANA, menggunakan kuesioner serta didukung informasi kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap informan danobservasi. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan tingkat penerapan strategi komunikasi dalam pengembangan wisata Kampung Naga berada pada kategori sedang. Strategi komunikasi berkorelasi dengan partisipasi dalam keputusan, partisipasi dalam pelaksanaan, dan partisipasi dalam manfaat. Pengembangan wisata ditandai dengan adanya peningkatan pendapatan, peningkatan kemandirian kelompok, dan peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat pada kategori sedang serta kepedulian pada peningkatan kesejahteraan pada kategori tinggi.

Judul: Pengembangan Wisata Alam di Kawasan Strategis Pariwisata Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Tasikmalaya Regency is a strategic area, are among the popular tourist destinations and frequently visited by domestic and foreign tourist, such as Pangandaran, Garut and Bandung. It is an opportunity for development the natural tourism attraction of Tasikmalaya Regency. The research was carried out in the strategic area of tourism Tasikmalaya Regency during August until September 2012. The tools and materials used, such as stationery, digital cameras, GPS, ArcGis 9.3, Microsoft Office 2007, questionnaire, interview guidelines and analysis of the operating guidelines and objects of natural tourist attraction (ADO-ODTWA) General Directorate of PHKA 2003. The development of tourism based on the assessment ADO-ODTWA, analysis of the visitors wishes and expectations; the readiness to receive visits and thecommunity wishes and expectations; stakeholeder analysis and the strategic plan of natural tourism management. Based on the result of ADO-ODTWA assesment, the depelopment criteria of Galunggung (3325) and Karaha Bodas (2963) are very potential. Sindangkerta Beach (2885), Pamayangsari Beach (1777), Karangtawulan (2750) and Cipatujah Beach (2740) are potential. The visitors wishes and expectations are the repair, maintenance, and the provision of supporting facilities, accessibility, variety of activities, management of services, and management of visitors. The community less welcomed with the tourist visits and the tourism development especially Karah Bodas community (disagree). Wishes and expectations of the community such as increasing well-being, getting the socialization about tourism periodically to change community perception who are not ready, becoming open minded to receive visits. Demonstrated in the implementation of tourist destination, the depelopment organize the consept of religion tourism, appropriate to attitude and culture of the community. The development plan for tourism management are the development of potential tourism, human resources, along protection and resources coservation. The development of natural tourism, such as: (1) the development of a natural tourist attraction destinations by keeping the authenticity and sustainability areas, restrictions on the utilization block appropriate of envinronment resources support, making the evacuation and relocation of areas prone to natural disasters; (2) the development of activities and natural attractions differentiated based on the potencial natural tourism attraction that owned by each objects; (3) the development of facilities are development of interpretation feature and tourism map, information center, homestay, and strengthening of building and infrastructure; (4) accessibility of infrastructure development, a means of transportation, signpost direction, and the promote and information about tourism; (5) the development of human resources should be increases among others, in form of training to improve the ability of service, to be a good host, presenting various form of tourist attraction, foods, and souvenir, and natural disaster response; (6) the development of tourism through a good tourism management, prepared from the regoinal level combine with each tourism location, and build a partnership; (7) the development of tourism marketing and promotion trough electronic media (intenet, website, radio and TV) and print media (leaflet, booklet,and tourism map) periodically held a renewal according to developed by tour packages, and follow and create events that introduce attractions of nature tourism and local culture.

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
