Judul: Beberapa Alternatif Jalur Interpretasi Wisata Sejarah di Kawasa Wisata Banten Lama
Abstrak: Obyek-obyek bersejarah peninggalan kesultanan Banten, tidak semua diketahui keberadaannya oleh pengunjung, ha1 ini mengakibatkan kawasan Banten Lama lebih dikenal sebagai tempat wisata ziarah dibanding sebagai tempat wisata sejarah. Apabila ha1 tersebut dibiarkan berlarut-larut, dikhawatirkan sejarah kawasan Banten Lama dan obyek-obyek bersejarah yang ada di dalamnya, tidak akan pernah dikenal masyarakat luas. Hal inilah yang melatarbelakangi untuk dilakukan tindakan yang dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan, pengalaman dan pemahaman pengunjung tentang sejarah dan keberadaan obyek-obyek bersejarah di kawasan Banten Lama.

Judul: Perencanaan Lanskap Wisata Sejarah Banten Lama, Kota Serang, Provinsi Banten
Abstrak: Banten Lama is one of the great Islamic empires in the nation. It is located in the north coast of Banten, Kasunyatan Subdistrict, Serang Regency and City of Serang, Banten Province. Banten Lama was once the international port city of an Islamic empire that later collapsed in the 19th century. The long journey of the Banten Lama produced historical heritages site that reflects the glory of the past, among of them are Surosowan Palace, the Great Mosque of Banten, Kaibon Palace, Fort Speelwijk, Tasikardi Lake, Chinatown High Site Mosque, Vihara Alokitesvara, and other various artifacts that came from within and outside the old city. Conservation efforts in the region have been carried out since 1967, from the excavation activity until the determination of the status of heritage objects in each historical heritages site. Efforts to introduce historical value to the public is also done by making the region a tourism destination, however degradation caused by tourism activities makes it necessary to form a landscape plan that can meet the needs of tourism attractions and historical preservation of this site. The purpose of this study is to identifiey historical landscape character, to analize aspects relating the preservation of the landscape, and to plan a historical landscape tourism. This study used methods based on Simonds and Starke (2006) which includes preparation stage, inventory, analysis, synthesis and planning stage. This research also used historical approach to produce a plan that can support historical preservation aspect of the site and it's historical objects. The final results of this research is presented with a landscape plan which is described more with detailed plans that includes illustrations to give a clear picture of the site's situation. The landscape plan also explains it's conservation plan, spatial tourism plan, activities and facilities plan, and the circulation as interpretation circulation which allows travelers to access the historical tourism sites.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
