Judul: Identifikasi dan penentuan faktor-faktor utama penyebab tanah longsor di Kabupaten Garut, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: According to the data of mass movement disaster in Indonesia from 1990 to 2002, West Java Province (including Banten Province) frequentcy experienced landslide disaster. The map of mass movement of Garut District (Peta Gerakan Tanah Kabupaten Garut) made by Directorate of Vulcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (Direktorat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi – DVMG), showed that there were several areas in Garut District classified in Susceptible Zones of high mass movement such as Banjarwangi District, Singajaya and Peundeuy. This study aims to 1) identify and analyze the characteristics of landslide in Garut District particularly in 3 municipals (Banjarwangi, Singajaya, and Peundeuy), 2) develop a model of relationsh ip between various causes of landslide and its conditions. In the preliminary stage of the study, literatures study on various factors of landslide were conducted and it is established in check list form as the field manual. The factors of landslide were then identified and analyzed. Based on analyzed data Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted as well as cluster analysis and regression analysis to develop model of the landslide. Based on the observation, there were 32 spots of landslides occurred in the study area. There were 2 (two) characteristics of landslide found : 1) earth flow (30 cases or 94%), and 2) subsidence (2 cases or 60%). The high landslide as found in rice field area (25 spots) and followed by mixture garden/agroforestry (4 spots), 2 spots in housing area and 1 spot in the annual crops planted area. Analysis of PCA resulted 5 cluster with >40% similarity index. The multiple regression has generated an equation as followed: Y = 1.55 + 0.00186 v1 - 0.061 v3 + 0.038 v4 + 0.0216 v9 - 0.100 v13 where; Y : conditions of landslide zones, v1: soil thickness, v3: erosion conditions, v4: soil texture, v9: slope, and v13 : landuse (rice field).

Judul: Modeling Spasial Kerentanan Longsor. (Studi Kasus di Propinsi Jawa Barat, Indonesia).
Abstrak: Indonesia is frequently affected by landslides caused by both rainfall and earthquakes. During the period 1981-2007 the annual landslide frequency varies with an average of 49 events per year this was reported by (Chrisanto et al., 2008). There is also information from the global catalogue presented by (Kirschbaum et al., 2009) where in the years 2003 and from 2007 to 2009 there were reports 97 landslides in Indonesia, which produced 872 casualties. Also within the period of 2011-2012 where in 2011 there was about 29 events in West Java alone and in 2012 almost all of regions in Indonesia had a landslide event due to the high intensity of rainfall and active tectonic systems in that year. (Geological Agency, 2011 & 2012). Fatalities in Indonesia caused by landslides were also high. Study done by (Petley, 2007) showed that in 2007, total number of fatalities caused by landslides in Indonesia alone was 465 which was the second highest next to China. Due to the high occurrences of landslides and the number of fatalities, there is a need of mitigation strategies in Indonesia to prevent future landslide disasters. One of the mitigation strategy is to provide landslide susceptibility mapping. This research aims into developing a spatial modeling method in landslide susceptibility that can find landslide susceptibility area based on the data being analyzed. The result of the research can also observe the main factors that supports the events of landslides; predict the areas that are prone to landslides; and generate landslide susceptibility map of the areas that are prone to landslides. This research is done within 4 regencies in West Java Province which are Cianjur Regency, West Bandung regency, Bandung Regency, and Garut Regency. The area of this research is chosen because of the characteristic that is mountainous in the West Java Province which is the characteristic where landslides most likely occur in West Java. The materials used in this research is digital maps in vector format that is Landuse/Landcover Map, Soil Type Map, Geology Map, Climate Type Map, Annual Rainfall per Year Map, Landsystem Map, River Map, and Landslide Data. The tools used in this research are Personal Computer, GIS Software, Statistic Software (SPSS), Microsoft Office (MS Word, and MS Excel), and GPS. The factors were given rescaled scores based on the correlation between the landslide densities. The methods used in this analysis were regression analysis and correlation analysis in determining the factors to be analyzed and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in determining the weight of each factors. From the 9 factors of landslide chosen for the analysis, based on the result of the weight determination, principal component 1 until principal component 8 which explained 96% of the total variance of the data gave the most accurate overall accuracy result for 3 susceptibility class at 68.20%. The mathematical equation obtained from this model: Landslide Susceptibility Index (LSI) = 0.231 * Landuse/Landcover + 0.188 * Slope + 0.112 * Distance to River + 0.107 * Soil Type + 0.100 * Annual Rainfall + 0.073 * Population Density + 0.068 * Geology Age + 0.066

Judul: Produksi Ephipia Moina macrocopa dengan Manipulasi Pakan, Kepadatan, “Kairomon” Ikan dan Kelarutan Oksigen.
Abstrak: Moina macrocopa adalah zooplankton yang memiliki ukuran dan kadar protein yang mirip dengan naupli Artemia. Pemanfaatan moina sebagai pakan alami larva ikan dan udang belum maksimal karena budidaya Moina dilakukan seperti budidaya ikan. Oleh karena itu perlu dicari terobosan baru agar Moina tidak lagi dibudidayakan, tetapi menggunakan ephipia yang ditetaskan seperti praktisya penggunaan Artemia sebagai pakan alami. Ephipia adalah produk dari reproduksi seksual Moina yang berisi embrio dalam kondisi dorman, sehingga dapat disimpan dalam waktu yang lama dan dapat ditetaskan setiap saat. Teknologi produksi ephipia pada spesies kladosera saat ini banyak dikembangkan menggunakan faktor induksi seperti; kualitas dan kuantitas pakan, kepadatan populasi, suhu, kualitas air dan kairomon ikan. Produksi ephipia Moina berbeda dengan spesies kladosera lainnya. Induksi produksi ephipia pada betina partenogenesis Moina tidak secara langsung menghasilkan ephipia tetapi menghasilkan anak jantan dan betina seksual yang akan menghasilkan ephipia. Teknologi produksi ephipia Moina masih memiliki permasalahan tentang; ketersediaan betina partenogenesis, ketersediaan anak jantan dan betina seksual untuk dapat menghasilkan ephipia, serta bagaimana meningkatkan kuantitas dan kualitas ephipia Moina. Dengan demikian, faktor induksi yang telah dilakukan pada kladosera lain perlu dikaji optimasinya pada produksi ephipia Moina. Tujuan khusus penelitian adalah: 1) mengkaji kualitas dan kuantitas pakan terhadap pertumbuhan populasi, efisiensi pakan dan status gizi serta produksi anak jantan dan ephipia Moina, 2) mengkaji kepadatan induk budidaya Moina untuk menghasilkan anak jantan dan betina yang menghasilkan ephipia, 3) mengkaji peningkatan produksi anak jantan dan ephipia menggunakan kombinasi beberapa faktor induksi, yaitu kuantitas pakan, kepadatan, “kairomon” feses ikan mas dan oksigen terlarut, 4) mengkaji peningkatan kualitas dan kuantitas ephipia Moina dengan penambahan sumber asam lemak n-3 di pakan. Penelitian terdiri atas tiga tahap penelitian: 1. Evaluasi pemanfaatan suspensi dedak dan ketela pohon pada populasi produksi anak jantan dan ephipia Moina macrocopa. 2.a. Kepadatan induk Moina untuk menghasilkan anak jantan dan betina yang menghasilkan ephipia. 2.b. Peningkatan produksi anak jantan dan ephipia Moina melalui kombinasi kepadatan induk, konsentrasi pakan, feses ikan mas dan oksigen terlarut. 3. Peningkatan nilai derajat penetasan ephipia Moina melalui penambahan sumber asam lemak n-3 di pakan. Budidaya Moina menggunakan pakan suspensi dedak dengan kandungan protein 11,16 % dan lemak 10,62 % menghasilkan populasi, produksi anak per induk, persentase dewasa dan biomasa yang lebih tinggi dibanding menggunakan pakan supensi ketela pohon. Moina yang dibudidaya dengan pakan suspensi dedak, memiliki konversi pakan yang lebih rendah, total RNA, total DNA dan nisbah RNA/DNA, serta konsentrasi protein dan asam amino yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan moina dengan pakan suspensi ketela pohon. Budidaya Moina menggunakan pakan suspensi dedak dapat anak jantan dan ephipia, sedangkan budidaya Moina menggunakan pakan suspensi ketela pohon tidak menghasilkan anak jantan dan ephipia. Dari penelitian ini didapatkam konsentrasi pakan suspensi dedak untuk menghasilkan produksi anak jantan (504 ind/L) dan konsentrasi pakan suspensi dedak untuk menghasilkan ephipia. Kedua konsentrasi tersebut selanjutnya digunakan untuk menentukan kepadatan induk optimal untuk produksi ephipia dan anak jantan yang lebih tinggi. Budidaya Moina dengan kepadatan induk 660 ind/L menghasilkan produksi anak jantan dan ephipia yang tinggi. Budidaya Moina dengan kepadatan induk 660 ind/L menggunakan pakan yang tinggi (induksi ephipia) menghasilkan total produksi ephipia (3052 ±199 butir/L) yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan
