Judul: Land Suitability Evaluation Of Guava Crop (Psidium Guajava) At Bogor Regency By Using Geographical Information System
Abstrak: Currently medicinal crop were pavorited by society because they have many advantages, besides they may cure various diseases, they also can be used as economics sources to farmers. One of these medicinal crop is guava crop, where not only it’s leaf can be sold, and also it’s fruit. To develop guava crop at Bogor Regency, it needs land suitability evaluation. The evaluation plays in development of guava crop especially at suitable place, so that it’s development can be more efficient and effective. The aim of this research was to map land suitability of guava crop at Bogor Regency, to map of land suitability evaluation with it’s actual status at Bogor Regency, and to evaluate location of center guava crops according to land suitability. This research method used geographical information system consisting two phases; secondary data collection and data analysis phase. Secondary data were: topography map, land system map, satellite image ( Landsat TM7), rainfall data, and few statistical data. The analyses were divided into five category: Landsat image analysis, topography data analysis, land systems analysis, rainfall analysis, and land suitability analysis. The result of the research was presented in a map. The reason is a map as spatial data presentation has visual appearance and has information which store in tabular data form. According to the land suitability evaluation analysis of guava crop at Bogor Regency, the land suitability class of S1 has 2,40 % (7.065,326 ha), S2 (S2w, S2tw, S2mw, S2mwt, S2m, S2mt) 12,82 % (37.650,770 ha), S3 (S3w, S3mw, S3emw, S3mtw, S3tw, S3e, S3m, S3em) equal to 50,82 % (149.250,679 ha), and N equal to 33,96 % (99.727,922 ha). According to it actual survey area, the center of guava crops were found dominant at land suitability of class S3.

Judul: Land Evaluation to Support Land Use Planning using Geographic Information Systems and Goal Programming (A Case Study of Depok Municipality, West Java Province)
Abstrak: Land evaluation is an important part in the land use planning process. It assesses the suitability of land for specified land uses based on matching the qualities of different land units in a specific area, with the requirements of potential land use. The result of the evaluation is classification of land suitability for specific land uses. The research aims: 1) to analyze the land use based on land suitability for paddy field, dry land cultivation and protected area; 2) to arrange the optimization model for land utilization by considering the socioeconomic and environmental aspects; and 3) to determine the allocation of land utilization for paddy field, dry land cultivation and protected area. Integration between Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Goal Programming (GP) to conduct land evaluation with a view to generate recommendation for optimal land allocation considering the socio-economic and environmental goals. The result of land suitability analysis showed that most of land is suitable for paddy field and dry land cultivation. Only a few of the existing areas was cultivated on land under poorly suitable class, i.e. around 0.05% and 0.15% for paddy field and dry land cultivation, respectively. The rest is cultivated on S1 (highly suitable) and S2 (moderate suitable). The mapping using GIS analysis showed that the protected area should cover 2,097.50 Ha of which about 621.35 Ha has been converted for settlement and industries. Optimizing land utilization was carried out by integrating economic, social (employment), and environmental (ecological) goals through multi-objectives of optimization method. Goal Programming (GP) can be used to optimize the available land resources to achieve these goals. Optimal land utilization in this study using GP increased the total areas of paddy fields and dry land cultivation categorized as cultivated areas. The total cultivated areas increased from the existing condition of 4,843.63 Ha to 4,854.42 Ha. The land allocation for paddy field and dry land cultivation according to GP would increase land productivity and labour input. The value of land productivity would increase to Rp. 30,811,129,271 per year from the yearly target of Rp. 30,811,103,144 per year, while labour input increased from the target of 1,478,966 workdays per year to 1,486,179 workdays per year. The increase of cultivated agriculture area was extended to the existing bare land or grass land which belonging to the S1 or S2 of the land suitability class and should not be categorized as protected area. The total land allocation for protected area is about 1,476.15 Ha.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
