Judul: Optimizing the utilization space of gili sulat-gili lawang protected area In East Lombok District
Abstrak: Various economic activities underway and arround Gili Sulat-Gili Lawang protected area seriously impacted coral reef and seagrass ecosystems degradation. The aims of this research are to evaluate zoning of marine protected area, assess land suitability for multiple uses, the determine carryng capacity, and the optimize land utilization of marine protected area. Data and information were collected participatively using questioner and the field survey for assesing the biophysics characteristics of the Gili Sulat-Gili Lawang protected area. The methods used consist the Geographic Information System (GIS) for suitability analysis; carrying capacity analysis using ecosystem utilitied, dinamic model for optimizing space and management sustainability with multidimension scalling analysis. The results show that marine protected area zone of Gili Sulat- Gili Lawang by using ecology, social and economic criteria was divided by three zoning these are no-take zone, limited use zone and other use zone. The condition of mangroves vegetation, live coral and seagrass are categorized from poor to good. Development activities that suitable for limited uses are demersal and pelagic fisheries and coastal tourism. 10.8 ha and 9.31 ha are suitable for scuba diving, snorkeling and coastal tourism with the capacity of tourism are 150 person/day and 120 person/day respectively. While the suitable for mangrove tourism was 23,04 ha with 230 person/day tourism capacity. Based on multidimension scaling approach and its priorites scale of priorities, the alternatives policies of marine protected area development are local wisdom improvement, supporting infrastructure and conservation fee policies.

Judul: Mitigation-based optimization for coastal tourism in small island (case of Gili Matra Lombok Utara District, West Nusa Tenggara Province)
Abstrak: The increasing tourism activities magnified by uncontrolled land use patterns have caused coastal ecosystem degradation in Gili Matra. A research on evaluation of land use patterns and optimization of coastal tourism based on a mitigation approach has been done in the area. Research results showed that size of area including in a very suitable category for diving activity were 216.79 ha; 190.84 ha for snorkeling activity; and 19.83 ha for beach tourism. Based on carrying capacity analysis, the area could support maximum 286 tourists per day or 104.390 tourists annually. Mitigation approach in optimization indicated that the maximum tourist number in the area can only be reached if all aspects of carrying capacity namely ecological, economics, social and institutional aspect are well considered. Optimization of coastal tourism consisted sustainability of coastal ecotourism resources, increasing economic condition of local communities, and increasing of tourist visits in Gili Indah areas. Furthermore, the optimization can be attained by integrating the four aspects of management through applying the following two strategies: (a) integration of coral reef conservation, betterment in coastal tourism products prices policy, diversification of coastal tourism activities, increasing in local community participation, and adequate supporting infrastructure availability, and (b) optimization of attractive coastal tourism either for areas which were suitable with Gili Indah potential, and for the areas which had potential to be alternative for coastal tourism in relation to the existence of coral reef ecosystem, optimization of unmanaged cultural tourisms, and maintaining existing coastal tourism in Gili Indah.

Judul: Warna bulu kucing ras Persia : variasi pola warna dan pewarisannya
Abstrak: Kucing Persia merupakan kucing ras yang paling umum dijumpai di Indonesia. Kucing Persia memiliki bulu yang panjang dengan variasi warna bulu yang sangat beragam. Perkawinan yang lebih terarah sangat perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas genetik warna dan pola warna bulu kucing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari variasi warna dan pola warna bulu kucing Persia yang terdapat di Indonesia, yang dilakukan di kantor pusat Cat Fancy Indonesia mulai bulan Oktober 2000 sampai Januari 2001. Data yang digunakan merupakan data pedigree kucing Persia yang tercatat di Cat Fancy Indonesia dari tahun 1997 sampai Oktober 2001 yang terdiri dari 187 jantan dan 258 betina, selain itu juga dilakukan pengamatan langsung kepada tiga penyayang dan breeder kucing yang ada di Bandung. Secara umum tercatat 104 penyayang dan breeder kucing ras di Indonesia, 74,04% terdapat di Jawa Barat dan sisanya (25%) terdapat di daerah Jakarta. Jumlah kucing Persia yang lahir di Indonesia adalah 387 kucing (87,16%), yang terdiri dari 163 (42,12%) jantan dan 224 (57,88%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang diimpor ke Indonesia adalah sebanyak 57 (12,845%) yang terdiri dari 23 (40,35%) jantan dan 34 (59,65%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang terdapat di Jawa Barat (84,14%) lebih banyak dibanding jumlah kucing Persia yang ada di Jakarta (14,86%). Secara umum warna bulu cream (9,01%) dan pola warna solid (34,01%) memiliki persentase tertinggi. Warna cream merupakan warna dilusi dari warna merah (red) yang dapat dihasilkan dari berbagai macam kombinasi warna bulu yang dimiliki tetua sebelumnya, sebagai contoh dari perkawinan tetua yang memiliki warna bulu cream dengan red smoke. Perkawinan antara tetua yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang tidak murni dapat menghasilkan turunan yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang bervariasi.
