Judul: Studi Kasus: Pengelolaan Sampah Terpadu Gerakan Peduli Lingkungan (GPL) Perumahan Pondok Pekayon Indah, Kelurahan Pekayon Jaya, Bekasi Selatan
Abstrak: Handling of waste that are currently in Indonesia are to use the conventional system. The system cannot solve the problem with the optimal waste. Community-based waste management is one way to overcome problems of waste that occurs in Indonesia. One example of waste management community-based integrated waste management, namely the Gerakan Peduli Lingkungan (GPL) of Citizens Perumahan Pondok Pekayon Indah, Bekasi Selatan. Some waste management program that has been done by the environmental movement concerned, among other process of sorting waste, household composting of scale and area, planting and cultivation of seedlings, and the biopori hole. GPL is the program provides many benefits to the citizens and the environment, but will be required in the implementation of good cooperation between stakeholders such as citizens, the government and the private sector. GPL waste management program that has been running for six years to provide benefits that can be felt directly by the changes in the environment, especially PPI process of sorting waste, composting, planting and cultivation of seedlings although not all residents participate in this program. However, based on the evaluation based on the vision and mission of the GPL there is a congruence between the objectives will be achieved with the results obtained.

Judul: Strategi Peningkatan PHBS melalui Perencanaan Pengelolaan Sampah dengan Pendekatan Partisipatif
Abstrak: Bekasi Municipality as one of Jakarta’s buffer city, has unique challenges in implementing clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS). One of this challenge is the ubiquitous Bantargebang landfill that stands on three administrative area in Bantargebang District. The vast amount of waste in Bantargebang landfill, including valuable waste, attracts outsiders to engage in waste picking and trading opportunity. This leads to the development of slum areas around the landfill, one of which is in RW 5 Ciketing Udik Subdistrict. This study aims to formulate strategy to improve PHBS through waste management planning using community assets assessment. Survey showed the community have good understanding about PHBS and adequate understanding about waste management in particular, but respondents also admit they don’t do much to manage their waste. This result is further confirmed by FGD, interviews, and observation, which highlight open burning as the community preferred way to manage waste. To address the situation, researcher and the community compile community assets inventory that can be plugged in to the logical framework analysis to develop three main strategies for improving waste management condition in RW 5: (1) Elevating community awareness and capacity; (2) Strengthening collaboration between local actors; (3) Elaborate ways to search funding.

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
