Abstrak: Bogor mengalami permasalahan pengelolaan kota dengan meningkatnya PKL. Pertumbuhan PKL di kota Bogor semakin nampak ketika krisis ekonomi terjadi di Indonesia. Terdapat dualisme pandangan mengenai keberadaan PKL yaitu positif dan negatif. Di sisi positif, PKL menyediakan peluang kerja bagi penduduk yang tidak terserap sektor formal dengan meningkatnya pengangguran dan pada saat yang sama menyediakan barang dan jasa dengan harga yang terjangkau bagi warga miskin kota. Di sisi negatif, PKL sering menyebabkan kemacetan, merusak wajah kota, kejahatan dan ketidaknyamanan sosial lainnya.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
