Judul: Analisis gap kebijakan pengelolan kawasan suaka margasatwa : Kasus di SM Balairaja, Bengkalis, Riau
Abstrak: Conservation area represents pillar of ecosystem stabilization that gives various protections for ecology processes and a lot of species varieties, as treasure for future that the benefit is still unknown. By now, the big potency that is had by conservation area faces serious threats therefore the area management becomes an urgent agenda. The research objective is to identify and evaluate management policy of SM Balairaja area, also formulate and give policies alternative recommendation of SM Balairaja management. The research was located in Mandau District of Bengkalis Regency at five of study villages: Pematang Pudu, Balairaja, Petani, Pinggir and Tengganau during March until September 2004. Data sources were taken by direct observation and result from researches that were part of “Baseline Study on Balairaja Conservation Area, Riau” supported by PPLH-IPB and PT Caltex Pacific Indonesia. The variety, richness and threat that were faced by vegetation and wild animal described descriptively, social culture activities were identified by FGD method (Focus Discussion Group) and deep interview, then policy alternative used AHP method (Analytical Hierarchy Process). Result showed the variety and richness rare of vegetation and wild animal in SM Balairaja area happened because of government compilation through contradictive codes, also the destructiveness activities involvement of economic social without strict law enforcement since area had been specified as wilderness area. AHP result gave the main policy of priority alternative in area management that was taken by Non government. The focus of program be on society management by management priority on social culture factor. Priority scale that was chosen showing un sensitive to preferences change of PHKA, BKSDA, PT.CPI, LSM, and Society. Beside that, research showed the stakeholders perception was different with the exist codes.

Judul: Kebijakan Pembangunan Daerah dan Potensi Aplikasi Kajian Lingkungan Hidup Strategis (Studi Kasus Kebijakan Kehutanan di Kabupaten Pelalawan)
Abstrak: Pelalawan Regency is a new regency in the Riau Province, and 994,299 ha or 76,94% of its jurisdiction consists of forest. The forest has been degraded quite seriously in the last few years, and one of the cause is attributed to the regional development policy adopted. As the result consideration of environmental aspect must be taken into account in policy formulation. In doing so, Strategic Environmental Analysis (SEA) becomes a potential tool as it contains a systematic and comprehensive mechanism in evaluating enviromental impacts potentially generated by policy, plan and program. The objectives of this research are as follow: (i) to understand the forest policy formulation process, (ii) to analyze the possibility of SEA application in the formulation process of forest policy sector in the Pelalawan Regency. Furthermore, the research is emphasized on regional development policy of the forest sector relating to licensing of forest resources utilization. In this context, 2 companies holding forest concession on planted forest were taken as case studies. Environmental aspect in law and regulation were identified using content analysis and stakeholder analysis techniques. From the result of content and stakeholders analysis can be disclosed that during the time the involvement socialize and environmental aspect not yet full considered in decision making process. It has been identified also problem relating to SEA application, in which reference regulating of regional development are insuffient and inconsistent. For example, discrepancies on space allocation were found among RTRWK (Regency Spatial Plan), RTRWP (Provincial Spatial Plan) and TGHK (Arrangement on Forest Area Use). Furthermore, inconsistency is also observed in the forest implementation among national, provincial and regency governments. Despite, the problem identified, SEA application is highly potential and necessary in the regional policy formulation in the Pelalawan Regency to decelarate environmental (i.e. forest) degradation.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
