Judul: Konversi Lahan Pertanian dan Perubahan Taraf Hidup Rumahtangga Petani: Kasus Pembangunan Perumahan X di Kampung Cibeureum Sunting dan Kampung Pabuaran, Kelurahan Mulyaharja, Kecamatan Bogor Selatan, Kota Bogor, Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Conversion of agricultural land and changes in household living standards of farmers: a case of Housing Development by PT. X in Kampung Cibeureum Sunting and Kampung Pabuaran, Kelurahan Mulyaharja, Kecamatan Bogor Selatan, Kota Bogor, West Java. The objectives of this study were: (1) identified household living standards of farmers after the land conversion, (2) analyzed the factors associated with land conversion rates by farmers. The research applied a quantitative approach which supported by qualitative information. The quantitative data were collected by using survey method on 35 farmers household . The results of this study showed that after the conversion of land, household living standard of farmers increased, especially for lower-class farmers households. Internal factors and external factors affect different for each of the farmers. In this study, the internal factors that affected the rate of land conversion is dependence on the land. Dependence of land only affect the conversion rate at the lower class farmers. External factors also have different effect on each among farmers. In this study, external factors which affected the conversion rate is the influence of neighborss, the influence of neighbors only affected the conversion rate at the lower-class farmers. Key words: Conversion, land, farmers

Abstrak: This study showed that the patterns of conversion is mostly occurs rapidly and by switching control to others. Converted lands generally used for housing. Factors affecting land conversion can be categorized into internal factors such as urgent economic needs and the desire to change the fate, and external factors such as population growth and government policies. The impact of land conversion on the socioeconomic conditions consist of reduced rice yield, decreased farmers’s income, reduced household food security, reduced employment opportunities in agriculture, farmers’s limited access to agricultural land, and others. However there are positive impact as well, that is construction of housing may indicate the development of rural economy. The attitude of farmers to conversion of agricultural land has no relation to the characteristics of the respondents including gender, age, educational level, farm employment status, number of dependents in the family, income level, as well as broad and land tenure.

Judul: Aplikasi Nano Kitosan Sebagai Pengawet Alami Fillet Nila Merah (Oreochromis Sp.) Selama Penyimpanan Suhu Chilling
Abstrak: Nano kitosan diketahui berpotensi dalam memperpanjang masa simpan produk perikanan karena sifatnya yang tidak beracun, biodegradable, dan memiliki aktivitas antibakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan karakteristik nano kitosan dan membandingkan penggunaan nano kitosan dengan formalin dalam mengawetkan fillet ikan nila merah pada penyimpanan suhu chilling. Nano kitosan dibuat dengan metode gelasi ionik dan dikarakterisasi melalui analisis Particle Size Analyzer, mikroskop elektronik payaran, dan Fourier Transform Infrared. Fillet direndam dalam larutan formalin (F), akuades (T), dan nano kitosan (L) selama 5 menit dan nano kitosan 10 menit (S). Fillet disimpan pada suhu 4±1 oC dan dianalisis total mikroba aerob, Total Volatile Base, dan pH pada hari ke-0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, dan 12. Karakteristik nano kitosan yang dihasilkan berukuran 512,58 nm dengan morfologi berbentuk bulat dan derajat deasetilasi sebesar 79,49%. Perendaman dengan nano kitosan selama 5 menit merupakan perlakuan terbaik untuk pengawetan fillet. Nilai total mikroba aerob, TVB, dan pH fillet S, L, dan F belum melewati batas aman konsumsi (<5 log cfu/g, <20 mg N/100 g, dan <7) hingga penyimpanan hari ke-12 dan tidak berbeda nyata satu sama lain (p>0,05), sehingga nano kitosan dapat dijadikan pengawet alami fillet nila merah dan dapat menggantikan formalin bila dilihat dari parameter total mikroba aerob, TVB, dan pH.
