Judul: Konsep penataan kawasan Taman Hutan Raya Wan Abdul Rahman Provinsi Lampung
Abstrak: Taman Hutan Raya Wan Abdul Rahman (Tahura WAR Provinsi Lampung merupakan salah satu kawasan konservasi yang dikelola oleh Pemerintah Provinsi Lampung. Kondisinya yang rusak dan belum adanya pengelolaan yang baik menyebabkan fungsi Tahura WAR belum optimal. Kawasan Tahura WAR saat ini belum dibagi ke dalam blok-blok pengelolaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) menyusun konsep penataan kawasan Tahura WAR Provinsi Lampung ke dalam blok-blok pengelolaan dan (2) merumuskan strategi pengembangan ekowisata dalam kawasan Tahura WAR Provinsi Lampung

Judul: Analisis Strategi Kebijakan Pengelolaan Taman Hutan Raya Berbasis Ekososiosistem (Studi Kasus Tahura Wan Abdul Rachman Di Propinsi Lampung)
Abstrak: The objective of this research is to determine the characteristics of the problems in WAR Grand Forest Park, to determine a comprehensive management based on ecology, economy and socioculture and to develop a zonation suitability map in relation to sustainable management of WAR Grand Forest Park. The method used are descriptive, qualitative and quantitative. Analysis of the characteristic of the problem of WAR Grand Forest Park was analyzed by using tabulation and descriptive methodes. Policy strategic analysis for WAR Grand Forest Park management was analyzed using PHA method and SWOT. GIS was used as direction to determine the optional zonation for WAR Grand Forest Park based on strategic policy analysis. The result showed that degradation of WAR Grand Forest Park is caused by: 1) land resources availability (Open access), 2) indiscipline staff in WAR Grand Forest Park, 3) lack of law enforcement, 4) social economic and welfare motivation. PHA analysis showed that the main strategy for management of Tahura WAR is ecotourism (value: 0.402 or 40.2%) followed by ecotourism-agro forestry (value 0.386 or 38.6%), and Agro forestry (value 0.212 or 21.2%). Operational strategies that must be carryout by government are: (1) reducing illegal logging, (2) Policy regulation, (3) law enforcement for indiscipline staffs, (4) removal of regulation that contrast to the local government regulation such as Perda No. 7/2000 on retribution, (5) produce zonation suitability map for ecotourism purpose, (6) develop collaboration management of ecotourism in WAR grand forest park with the communities around Tahura WAR. Spasial analysis showed that region allocated for ecotourism purpose in WAR grand forest park has a topography of 600 mdpl and countur less than 40%.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
