Judul: Land Suitability Evaluation Of Guava Crop (Psidium Guajava) At Bogor Regency By Using Geographical Information System
Abstrak: Currently medicinal crop were pavorited by society because they have many advantages, besides they may cure various diseases, they also can be used as economics sources to farmers. One of these medicinal crop is guava crop, where not only it’s leaf can be sold, and also it’s fruit. To develop guava crop at Bogor Regency, it needs land suitability evaluation. The evaluation plays in development of guava crop especially at suitable place, so that it’s development can be more efficient and effective. The aim of this research was to map land suitability of guava crop at Bogor Regency, to map of land suitability evaluation with it’s actual status at Bogor Regency, and to evaluate location of center guava crops according to land suitability. This research method used geographical information system consisting two phases; secondary data collection and data analysis phase. Secondary data were: topography map, land system map, satellite image ( Landsat TM7), rainfall data, and few statistical data. The analyses were divided into five category: Landsat image analysis, topography data analysis, land systems analysis, rainfall analysis, and land suitability analysis. The result of the research was presented in a map. The reason is a map as spatial data presentation has visual appearance and has information which store in tabular data form. According to the land suitability evaluation analysis of guava crop at Bogor Regency, the land suitability class of S1 has 2,40 % (7.065,326 ha), S2 (S2w, S2tw, S2mw, S2mwt, S2m, S2mt) 12,82 % (37.650,770 ha), S3 (S3w, S3mw, S3emw, S3mtw, S3tw, S3e, S3m, S3em) equal to 50,82 % (149.250,679 ha), and N equal to 33,96 % (99.727,922 ha). According to it actual survey area, the center of guava crops were found dominant at land suitability of class S3.

Judul: Land suitability analysis for agriculture area using weighted method: a case study in Bogor
Abstrak: This research was conducted from January 2005 June 2005, In Bogor, West Java- Indonesia. Geographically the area is located between 106°35'00" - 106°50"30" East longitude, and 06°25'00" - 06°45'00' South latitude. The area cover 743.65 square kilometers and consists of 21 (twenty-one) sub districts, including municipality. The main objective of this research is to define suitable area for agriculture by using weighted method. The general objectives of the research area are: 1) to provide information about weighted method technical to analyze land suitability, 2) to provide information land suitability for agriculture of Bogor area. The data input was collected from various source, among others: 1) The National Coordinating Agency for Survey and Mapping (Bakosurtanal), 2) Center for Soil and Agroclimate Research (Puslitanak)- Bogor for information on soil type which is derived from the regional soil type map of Bogor, 3) The Bureau of Metrology and Geophysics (BMG) - Bogor for rainfall data. 4) Biotrop Training and Information Center of SEAMEO BIOTROP for the imagery of Landsat TM 2002 and Landsat TM 2000 for West Java. The analysis method used is the weighted method overlay conducted using Arc View-32 focusing on weighted method for single crop, weighted method for group crops, weighted method for an area. From the analysis, we concluded the following: 1) technically, the use of weighted method is variable where each process is very much influenced by data input. 2) Weighted method analysis provides three criterias i.e. very suitable area, suitable area and less suitable area for each crop or group crop.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
