Judul: Perancangan Lanskap Memorial Park di Gampong Ulee Lheue, Kota Banda Aceh Berbasis Wisata Tsunami dan Mitigasi Bencana
Abstrak: Taman Memorial atau Memorial Park merupakan suatu taman yang dibangun untuk mengenang suatu kejadian atau peristiwa besar seperti tragedi perang, aksi militer, bencana alam, seperti gempa bumi dan tsunami yang menelan korban jiwa. Pada tahun 2004 terjadi gempa bumi dan tsunami yang sangat dahsyat melanda kawasan Pasifik dan sekitarnya. Indonesia merupakan negara yang terkena imbas paling besar dari bencana ini, khususnya di wilayah perairan Aceh bagian barat, karena secara geografis paling dekat dengan pusat gempa penyebab tsunami. Bencana tersebut tidak hanya menelan ratusan ribu jiwa, tetapi juga menimbulkan kerusakan fisik di wilayah Aceh. Wilayah pesisir yang mengalami kerusakan fisik yang paling parah diantaranya adalah Gampong Ulee Lheue di Kota Banda Aceh. Pemerintah telah melakukan upaya rekonstruksi pasca-bencana, antara lain: menetapkan Ulee Lheue sebagai gampong (kampung) tanggap bencana dan area wisata Tsunami. Hal ini dimaksudkan agar dapat membantu meningkatkan sektor wisata dan sebagai upaya mitigasi bencana. Tujuan dirancangnya Lanskap Memorial Park selain untuk menghormati para korban tsunami juga sebagai sarana kontemplasi (perenungan) sekaligus sebagai sarana rekreasi dan wisata. Perancangan Lanskap Memorial Park dapat dinilai sebagai suatu upaya integrasi antara sektor wisata dengan mitigasi bencana di Gampong Ulee Lheue. Dalam perancangannya mengusung konsep yang berbeda dengan taman pada umumnya, yaitu mengintegrasikan nilai historis tapak dengan kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap wisata. Dalam penelitian perancangan Lanskap Memorial Park ini, metode yang digunakan adalah analisis spasial dan deskriptif. Metode ini dilakukan melalui pengamatan langsung, studi pustaka, wawancara dan kuesioner. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini adalah rencana tapak (siteplan) dan gambar detail (gambar tampak potongan, rencana penanaman, dan gambar perspektif).

Judul: Perencanaan Lanskap Pantai Lampuuk Berbasis Mitigasi Tsunami untuk Pengembangan Kawasan Wisata di Lhoknga Aceh Besar
Abstrak: Landscape planning in disaster-prone areas, such as on the beach at Lampuuk could be viewed as part of disaster mitigation in the region. The use of local vegetation as part of the planning element can be a part of the environmental conservation efforts that are expected to create a sustainable environment. In general this study was aimed to identify the impact of the tsunami disaster and increase the space in that location. In particular this research was aimed to identify the biophysical aspects, environmental, social, and economic issues in coastal areas that relate to the Lampuuk tsunami disaster mitigation, to analyze the potential and constraints in that location and to make the landscape planning of tourism area based on tsunami disaster mitigation. Research methods used is a recreation area approach expressed by Gold (1980). This method consists of five stages, including preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis and planning. The research was carried out at the landscape of Lampuuk Beach in Lhoknga, Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province. This study started from February to April 2012. As the result found that the basic concept of landscape planning is developing the tourist area based on tsunami mitigation which can serve as evacuation, mitigation and tourism space. The concept and plan consisting of two conditions. The first condition during normal conditions or as a regular tourist area, can be turned into evakuatif function when tsunami happen. It was concluded that the site is divided into three zones, (1) primary zone: consisting of space tourism, mitigation, evacuation; (2) semi primary zone: is development spaces; and (3) support zone: the cultivation, conservation of coastal vegetation, plantations and farm. The plan consist of siteplan which is devided into activity, facilities, circulation and vegetation plans.

Judul: Biology and ecology of the buffalo fly, haematobia exigua de meijere (diptera:muscidae)
Abstrak: The life history of the buffalo fly was observed at room temperature of 27°-29.5°C and at a relative humidity of 48-68 percent. The eggs hatched after 17-22 hours, with an average of 18 hours. First instar larvae measured 1.25 + 0.16 mm long and 0.27 + 0.037 mm wide. reach the second larval stage. It took 6-12 hours to the second instar larvae measured 2.676 +0.187 mm long and 0.353 +0.028 mm wide. The second instar took about 12-24 hours to reach the third larval stage. The third instar measured 6.833 + 0.189 mm long and 0.919 + 0.051 mm wide. It took about 2-3 days for the third instar to become pupae. Duration of the pupal stage was about 5-7 days before the adults emerged. Under laboratory condition, the buffalo fly completed its life cycle in 9.5 to 10.5 days, whereas under field condition it took 9-14 days with an average of 10.5 days. The growth ratio which was based on the measurements of the cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton of each instar was 1.797. The preoviposition period was 8-12 days and mating usually occurred on the 6th or 7th day. The longevity of the male was 29 days, whereas it was 32 days in the female. The range of egg production under laboratory condition was between 20-139 per female fly. The belly and hind legs of the carabao were the most preferred habitat either during cloudy and cool dry or shiny and warm day. When the weather was clear and the carabao was in the shade, the flies tended to be more distributed particularly on the shoulder, dewlap, back and horns. The carabaos had relatively fewer Musca sp. and Stomoxys calcitrans than cattle; never the less carabaos had a higher infestation of buffalo fly than cattle. Oviposition occured either during the day or night but the buffalo flies were more active during the night than in the day time. The effect of various lengths of exposure time of manure in relation to the oviposition was profound. observed, the maximum number of the buffalo flies was occurred when the dung was exposed for 30 minutes. With increasing time of exposure the number and variety of insects also increase. It was evident that Sepsidae and psychodidae were the most dominant insects emerging from the dung. The number of buffalo flies also increased with increasing
