Judul: Peran Wisata Satwaliar Terhadap Pengetahuan Pengunjung Mengenai Konservasi Satwa Di Taman Nasional Bali Barat
Abstrak: Wisata satwaliar dapat berperan dalam konservasi karena memberi kesempatan untuk kontak langsung dengan alam serta memiliki dampak positif terhadap pembelajaran pengunjung mengenai lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengukur peran wisata satwaliar terhadap pengetahuan pengunjung mengenai konservasi satwa di Taman Nasional Bali Barat (TNBB). Pengetahuan pengunjung dinilai berdasarkan hasil skor pertanyaan sebelum dan sesudah wisata, kemudian digolongkan menjadi beberapa kategori pengetahuan yaitu rendah, sedang, dan tinggi, serta dilakukan uji t berpasangan. TNBB memiliki wisata satwaliar jungle tracking, bird watching, dan safari dengan pengunjung yang berasal dari mancanegara. Setelah mengikuti wisata satwaliar di TNBB, skor pengetahuan pengunjung mengenai konservasi satwa meningkat sebesar 7%, dan hasil skor rata–rata meningkat dari 15.42 menjadi 17. Peningkatan pengetahuan ini terjadi karena pengunjung berinteraksi langsung dengan satwa dan didukung dengan peran pemandu wisata.

Judul: Analysis of Unequal Income Distribution with Cobb-Douglas Production Function
Abstrak: This paper studies the economic growth model by Moav (2002). Moav model shows the existence of unequal income distribution between low-income with high-income community. That kind of unequal income distribution is caused by uneven distribution of income. On this Moav model, there is one area called the threshold. Threshold becomes a benchmark to determining whether a society is categorized into low- or high- income community. The production function used in this paper is the Cobb-Douglas function. The dynamics of this model is described as difference equation of low-income, threshold, and high-income community. Simulation study on the model is carried out using Maple 13 and Mathematica 7.0 software. Overall, from the observed case, high-income community will reach a stable condition earlier, followed by the threshold, and then the low-income community.
