Judul: Community's Perception and Participation in Developing Food Barn in Lampung Barat District
Abstrak: Community's perception and participation is necessary to be noticed in the effort of developing food barn in rural area. The objective of this study were to: I) analyze community's perception about food barn in Lampung Barat District, 2) inventory factors that influence community's participation in developing food barn in Lampung Barat District, 3) formulate model and strategy in developing participative food barn to reach food security in Lampung Barat District. This research was conducted by using cross sectional design and descriptive analysis approach. The location was chosen by using purposive sampling which were in Tribudi Syukur Village, Sumberjaya Subdistrict and Buay Nyerupa Village, Sukau Subdistrict. The selection was based on consideration that these villages has different implementation performance of food barn according to the assessment from Food Crops and Horticulture Office in Lampung Barat District. The result of the research shows that the community's perception category, represented by farmer as sample, based on total perception variable score between Tribudi Syukur and Buay Nyerupa, is different. The general condition of the community (like age, education level, income, etc.) do not have correlation with its perception about food barn. The community's participation in food barn category, represented by farmer as sample, based on total participation variable score between Tribudi Syukur and Buay Nyerupa, is also different. There is correlation between community's perception about food barn and its participation in developing food barn activity. The factors that influence community's participation in developing food barn are tradition to store food by the community, the existence of farmer group, community's perception about food barn, the existence of regional governmental structural institution in Food Security, regulation or guidance which support food bam developing, governmental program which support food bam development, the development of food market and trading, condition of region which potentially food insecure. The priority of strategy in developing participative food barn based on the result of SWOT analysis that possible to be conducted are 1) develop community's perception to not relying on market in accessing food, 2) develop perception and community participation empowerment in creating and developing food bam based on regional condition, 3) maintain and build community's tradition of storing food from self food storing to collective food storing (in group)

Judul: Efektivitas Komunikasi Dalam Pelaksanaan Kegiatan Penguatan Lembaga Distribusi Pangan Masyarakat(Kasus Gabungan Kelompok Tani Maju Bersama Desa Bumiharjo Kecamatan Batanghari Kabupaten Lampung Timur)
Abstrak: Government Regulation No. 68 of 2002 on food security stated that food needs fulfillment is not only the matter of production but also distribution issues, which cause many problems. The objectives of the research were to describe strengthening program of food community distribution institutional (P-PLDPM), analyze forms of communication of Joint Farmer’s Group (Gapoktan) in the program and analyze communication effectiveness of in the program. The research was designed as a descriptive and correlational survey research. The study site selection was purposively selected namely Gapoktan Maju Bersama of Bumiharjo Village, Batanghari Subdistrict, East Lampung District. Primary data collection and field observations were carried out during April to June 2012. Respondents of this study amounted to 83 farmers who know the P-PLDPM. The data used in this research consisted of primary data and secondary data. Data analysis applied descriptive statistics and Spearman Rank Correlation Analysis using Excel and SPSS 15.0 program for Windows. Gapoktan Maju Bersama have been implementing the strengthening community food distribution institutional program since 2010 up to date. The most frequent communication forms, which were performed by Gapoktan Maju Bersama management was group meeting with the field companion and farmer members.In the group meeting, a discussionalways takes place.Farmers' level of understanding on the P-PLDPM activities determined the communication effectiveness, because it could significantly change knowledgeand behavior levels.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
