Judul: Kajian lanskap budaya pertanian untuk pengembangan agrowisata di nagari pandai sikek kabupaten tanah datar, Sumatera Barat
Abstrak: Highland agricultural landscape which is combined with its local culture unique properties such as the culture of Nagari Pandai Sikek, West Sumatra, is an interesting tourism object and attraction. However, the agrotourism development in that area has not been optimally planned. The characteristic of agricultural landscape of each area or Jorong, a part of nagari landscape unit, as a tourism object and the tourism supporting factors should be studied well. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze local landscape characteristic and its potency of tourism supporting factor in each Jorong of Nagari Pandai Sikek, then to propose the concept for agrotourism development. The landscape assesment scoring and comparison exponential method were used to determine the potency of each Jorong. The results showed that the Jorong Pagu-Pagu has the highest potency value of 3.51, Jorong Baruah, Jorong Tanjung, and Jorong Koto Tinggi has medium potency with its value 3.48, 3.46 and 3.43 respectively. Jorong Pagu-Pagu is highly potencial for its uniqueness and attractiveness as agrotourism object. Jorong Baruah, besides its high potencial for community acceptance and the availability of supporting facilities, it is also located in the main access to Padang and Bukit Tinggi. The concept proposed for agrotourism development is by enchancing the most potencial Jorong Pagu-pagu, and promoting tourism development in the second best object at Jorong Baruah, then developing Jorong Tanjung and Jorong Koto Tinggi as tourism supporting areas. The unique local characteristics should be preserved and the local community should be involved in tourism development.

Judul: Analisis Potensi Obyek Wisata dan Keterpaduannya dalam Pengembangan Kawasan Wisata Pangandaran, Kabupaten Pangandaran, Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Pangandaran has a lot of undiscovered tourist destination. Encouragement to develop Pangandaran as tourism regency appears. Tourism is then prioritized at the long-term, medium-term, and short-term. The purpose of this research was (1) To learn some objects or areas of the existing tourist destinations, (2) To identify to potential regions that potential to be developed as new tourist destination, (3) To know factors affecting the interest of visiting tourists in the tourist area of Pangandaran, and ( 4 ) To compile direction of plans and development strategy of the tourist area of Pangandaran integrally. We utilitized the scoring to find out the existing attractions areas to be developed, binary logistic regression analysis to obtain the factors affecting the interest of tourists, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the analytical of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threaths (SWOT) to generate a tourist area development plan of Pangandaran. Existing tourist attractions are Pangandaran beach with a score of 600, Green Canyon with a score of 344, Batu Karas with a score of 50, Cagar Alam with a score of 30 and Batu Hiu with a score of 25. While the tourism potential to be developed are Citumang is ranked first with a score of 688, Karapyak ranked second with a score of 552, Madasari ranked third with a score of 192. Then Karang Nini was ranked fourth with a score of 184, Lembah Putri ranked fifth with a score of 48, Keusik Luhur ranked sixth with a score of 16, Palatar Agung and Karang Tirta ranked seventh and eighth with a score of 0. Factors affect ing the interest of tourists to visit are preliminary information about tourist attractions, tour guides, hotels, type of tourist destination, and availability of rest area. Integrated and strategies for the development of the tourist area of Pangandaran, are: (1) hold the acceleration of transportation network and repair roads especially national roads, provincial roads, and a connecting entrance to the tourist area; (2) capacity improvement and quality service at the top seed tourist area.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
