Judul: Pengaruh Kapasitas Adaptasi terhadap Resiliensi Pelaku Usaha Sektor Pariwisata di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 (Kasus: Pelaku Usaha di Desa Wisata Cibuntu, Kecamatan Pasawahan, Kabupaten Kuningan)
Abstrak: Kebijakan Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat saat pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan terjadinya penurunan jumlah wisatawan sehingga mengharuskan pelaku usaha melakukan berbagai upaya untuk tetap bertahan. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mencapai resiliensi yaitu dengan melakukan adaptasi terhadap perubahan yang terjadi akibat pandemi Covid-19. Maka dari itu, tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menganalisis pengaruh kapasitas adaptasi terhadap resiliensi pelaku usaha sektor pariwisata di masa pandemi Covid-19. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif yang didukung metode kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam kepada informan. Adapun responden dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui teknik simple random sampling kepada 35 pelaku usaha di Desa Cibuntu yang kemudian dilakukan uji statistik menggunakan uji regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kapasitas adaptasi berpengaruh terhadap resiliensi pelaku usaha, arah pengaruh yang positif pada hasil uji regresi mengartikan semakin tinggi kapasitas adaptasi maka semakin tinggi juga resiliensi pelaku usaha sektor pariwisata di masa pandemi Covid-19., The policy of imposing restrictions on community activities during the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a decrease in the number of tourists, this requires business actors to make various efforts to survive. Efforts that can be made to achieve resilience are by adapting to changes that occur due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of adaptive capacity in the resilience of tourism sector business actors during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used is a quantitative one, which is supported by a qualitative one through in-depth interviews with informants. The respondents in this study were obtained through a simple random sampling technique of 35 business actors in Cibuntu Village, which then carried out statistical tests using simple linear regression tests. The results show that there is an influence of adaptive capacity on the resilience of business actors, the direction of a positive influence on the regression test findings shows that the business actors in the tourism sector were more resilient to the Covid-19 pandemic the higher their capacity for adaptation.

Judul: Community Resilience Around Nature Tourism Situ Gunung in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstrak: Pandemi COVID-19 telah menyebabkan kerugian pada sektor pariwisata dan masyarakat sekitarnya, termasuk masyarakat sekitar kawasan wisata alam Situ Gunung. Adaptasi diperlukan masyarakat untuk mencapai resiliensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi masyarakat terhadap dampak, strategi adaptasi dan strategi mitigasinya dalam situasi pandemi COVID-19. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei rumah tangga dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara berdasarkan metode penentuan sampel dengan tabel Isaac dan Michael pada tingkat kesalahan 10%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pandemi COVID-19 telah berdampak ekonomi pada kehidupan masyarakat namun tidak menimbulkan dampak sosial. Kapasitas adaptasi masyarakat masih rendah, strategi adaptasi dilakukan oleh masyarakat dengan kondisi perekonomian rentan berdasarkan karakteristik pekerjaannya. Strategi mitigasi sudah dimiliki masyarakat namun masih dalam inisiatif di tingkat rumah tangga, The COVID-19 pandemic has caused losses to the tourism sector and surrounding communities, including the communities around the Situ Gunung natural tourism area. Adaptation is necessary for society to achieve resilience. This study aims to analyze people's perception of the impact, adaptation strategy, and mitigation strategy in the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used is a household survey using questionnaires and interviews based on the determining samples method with Isaac and Michael tables at a 10% error rate. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative economic impact on people's lives but has no negative social impact. The adaptation capacity of the community is still low, the adaptation strategy is carried out by people with vulnerable economic conditions based on the characteristics of their job. The community, particularly at a household level, already has mitigation strategies.

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.
