Judul: Correlation between Agrarian Crisis and Gurandil Poverty: Cisarua Village, Nanggung District, Bogor Regency
Abstrak: Krisis agraria sering terjadi bersamaan dengan kemiskinan pada masyarakat di lingkar tambang emas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menguji hubungan antara krisis agraria dengan kemiskinan rumah tangga gurandil alias penambang ilegal di Desa Cisarua, Kecamatan Nanggung. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan sequential explanatory yaitu metode pengumpulan dan analisis data kuantitatif diikuti analisis data kualitatif. Populasi penelitian ini adalah rumah tangga gurandil di Desa Cisarua, Kecamatan Nanggung. Data kuantitatif diolah dari survei 30 responden hasil purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif antara variabel krisis agraria pada aspek penguasaan agraria dan aspek jaminan rakyat dalam tata guna lahan dengan variabel kemiskinan pada aspek tingkat pendapatan. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aspek kepastian hak dan aspek jaminan rakyat dalam hubungan produksi dan distribusi hasil dengan tingkat pendapatan. Ini disebabkan faktor kemiskinan struktural sehingga responden tidak mampu mengolah sumber agraria untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga., Agrarian crises often occur together with poverty in communities around gold mines. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the agrarian crisis and the poverty of the gurandil household, aka illegal miners, in Cisarua Village, Nanggung District. This study uses a sequential explanatory approach, namely the method of collecting and analyzing quantitative data followed by qualitative data analysis. The population of this research is the gurandil household in Cisarua Village, Nanggung District. Quantitative data was processed from a survey of 30 respondents based on purposive sampling. The results of the study show that there is a positive relationship between the agrarian crisis variable on the aspect of agrarian mastery and the aspect of people's security in land use with the poverty variable on the income level aspect. There is no relationship between aspects of certainty of rights and aspects of people's guarantees in relation to the production and distribution of results with the level of income. This is due to structural poverty factors so that respondents are unable to process agrarian resources to meet household needs.

Judul: Dinamika Agraria Lokal di Sekitar Kawasan Pertambangan Emas (Studi Kasus Kampung Pongkor, Desa Cisarua, Kecamatan Nanggung, Provinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: CICI WARDINI. Local Agrarian Dynamics in Gold Mining Around the Region (Case of kampung Pongkor, Cisarua Village, District of Nanggung, West Java Province) (under guidance of SATYAWAN SUNITO) Land is the source of meaningful agrarian economic, socio-cultural values and defense security. Currently, the function of shifts in land instead of land value based on the conceived. The method used is a qualitative and quantitative approach. This research produced 57.70 percent of the 26 respondents who engaged gold mining. External factor for selecting mining geography, the entry of immigrants and citizens apparatus elements, markets, and indirect support by the local village authorities. Internal factors affecting the response of farmers choose more mines caused by economic factors of the increasing demand. External factors that influence farmers to continue working in the agricultural sector is the natural factors that are not stable, the risk of a patrol was ambushed by PT A and environmental pollution. Impact dynamics of agrarian land tenure pattern that more and more cultivated and diburuhkan to other farmers. Economic value of land remains an important role. There are 4 claims that are the result of overlapping claims among the formal legal claim, the economic claims, claims of nature, and the traditional claims. Logical implications of this leads to overlapping claims both latent and manifest conflicts. Keyword: Agrarian dinamica, gold mining, and farmers respons

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
