Judul: Landscape Planning of Ecotourism in Bantaragung Village, Mount Ciremai National Park Based on Bioregion
Abstrak: Desa Bantaragung merupakan desa penyangga dari kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai dan memiliki potensi Objek Daya Tarik Wisata Alam (ODTWA) yang termasuk ke dalam zona pemanfaatan serta terdapat berbagai macam potensi alam dan budaya yang dapat menjadi sebuah atraksi untuk dijadikan sebuah kawasan ekowisata dengan perencanaan yang disesuaikan dengan ekologi kawasan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menyusun rencana lanskap ekowisata di kawasan Desa wisata Bantaragung, Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai. Penelitian dilakukan dalam empat tahapan, yaitu inventarisasi, analisis, sintesis, dan perencanaan lanskap. Identifikasi dan unit analisis diterapkan secara spasial pada unit bioregion, unit lanskap dan unit tempat berdasarkan kualitas objek dan daya tarik wisata yang mengacu pada Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) yaitu ecogeneralist, intermediate, ecospecialist. Hasil dari penelitian dituangkan berupa rencana lanskap ekowisata di kawasan Desa wisata Bantaragung berdasarkan unit-unit bioregion. Selain rencana lanskap disusun juga rencana tata ruang, touring plan disertai dengan ilustrasi pendukung., Bantaragung Village is a buffer village of the Mount Ciremai National Park area. It has the potential for a Natural Tourism Attraction Object (ODTWA) which is included in the utilization zone. There are various kinds of natural and cultural potential that can become an attraction to become an ecotourism area with customized planning with the regional ecology. This research aims to develop an ecotourism landscape plan in the Bantaragung Tourism Village area, Mount Ciremai National Park. The research was conducted in four stages: inventory, analysis, synthesis, and landscape planning. Identification and analysis units are applied spatially to bioregion units, landscape units and place units based on the quality of tourism objects and attractions that refer to the Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) namely ecogeneralist, intermediate, ecospecialist. The research results are outlined in the form of an ecotourism landscape plan in the Bantaragung Tourism Village area based on bioregion units. In addition to the landscape plan, a spatial plan, and a touring plan is also prepared, accompanied by supporting illustrations.

Judul: Ciletuh Geo Area Landscape Planning as Ecotourism Area Based on Bioregion
Abstrak: Geoarea Ciletuh, sebagai bagian dari Geopark Ciletuh-Pelabuhanratu memiliki lanskap dalam bentuk dataran bertingkat berbentuk tapal kuda yang menyerupai amfiteater terbuka yang mengarah ke Teluk Ciletuh. Kawasan ini memiliki keanekaragaman sumber daya, berupa ragam geologi, keanekaragaman biologi, dan keanekaragaman budaya. Keragaman sumber daya tersebut merupakan potensi yang dapat dikembangkan dalam membuka peluang bisnis untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar, menambah pendapatan daerah dan juga memperkenalkan kekayaan alam Sukabumi baik di dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Ekowisata merupakan salah satu bentuk pengembangan kawasan yang membutuhkan strategi perencanaan, pemanfaatan, pengendalian, penguatan kelembagaan, dan pemberdayaan masyarakat dengan memperhatikan prinsip sosial, ekonomi, ekologi, yang melibatkan pemangku kepentingan dalam mengelola potensi ekowisata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menyusun rencana lanskap Geoarea Ciletuh sebagai kawasan ekowisata berbasis bioregion. Perencanaan lanskap dilakukan berdasarkan identifikasi dan analisis potensi objek dan daya tarik ekowisata pada sumber daya geodiversitas, biodiversitas dan culture diversity. Identifikasi dan analisis karakteristik sumber daya dan potensi objek dan daya tarik ekowisata dilakukan berdasarkan pendekatan bioregion. Arahan pemanfaatan aktivitas ekowisata pada setiap unit bioregion dan rencana lanskap disusun dengan pendekatan kerangka kerja Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) yang dikembangkan oleh Boyd dan Butler (1994) yang mengutamakan kelestarian lingkungan. Perencanaan lanskap ekowisata menghasilkan rencana lanskap, rencana aktivitas, rencana sirkulasi, dan rencana vegetasi., Ciletuh Geoarea, as part of Celetuh Geopark has a landscape in the form of a horseshoe-shaped plateau (amphitheater) that opens towards the Ciletuh Bay. This area has a diversity of resources, in the form of geological diversity, biological diversity, and cultural diversity. The variety of resources is a potential that can be developed in opening business opportunities for human will-being, increase regional income and also introducing the natural wealth of Sukabumi both domestically and abroad. Ecotourism is one form of regional development that requires a strategy of planning, utilization, control, institutional strengthening, and community empowerment with due regard to social, economic, ecological principles, which involve stakeholders in managing ecotourism potential. The purpose of this study is to develop a landscape plan of Ciletuh Geoarea as a ecotourism area based on Bioregion. Landscape planning is carried out based on the identification and analysis of potential object and ecotourism attractions in geodiversity, biodiversity, and culture diversity resource. Identification and analysis of resource characteristic and the potential of ecotourism object and attractions are carried out based on the bioregion approach. Directions for the use of ecotourism in each bioregion unit and the landscape plans are arranged by Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) framework approach developed by Boyd and Butler (1994) that prioritizes environmental sustainability. The ecotourism landscape planning produces landscape plan, activity and facility plan, circulation and interpretation path plan, and vegetation plan.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
