Judul: Dampak Pengembangan Pariwisata terhadap Tingkat Kesejahteraan dan Sosial Budaya Masyarakat Lokal
Abstrak: Development of tourism will impact people living in the areas of tourism itself. One of the tourism in Indonesia is Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI). This study intend to analyze the impact of the development of tourism to the socio-cultural and welfare levels as well as analyzing the relation of welfare level with the attitude towards Taman Safari Indonesia's existence. This study was conducted in Cibeureum village using survey methods with qualitative and quantitative approach. The result showed that Taman Safari Indonesia impacts on sociocultural that include the change of the lifestyle, cultural values, power and authority of the informal leaders, and social cohesion. While the impact on the welfare level that include the increasing of the income, health access, education access, and the property right. Result of the study also show the relation between welfare level with attitude towards the existence of Taman Safari Indonesia.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Natrium Alginat untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Composite of chitosan and sodium alginate can be utilized as base material of proton exchange membrane (PEM). The composite membranes were produced by various concentrations of chitosan-sodium alginate, namely 3:3, 3:4, 3:5, 3:6, 4:3, 5:3, and 6:3 (% b/v). The composites were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and were tested for the performance as PEM from the proton conductivity obtained by using impedance spectrometer. The FTIR spectrum indicated the NH3C group at 1637.29 cm-1 and symmetrical COO group at 1253.68 cm-1 indicating interactions between chitosan and sodium alginate. SEM micrographs showed that the composite membrane was nonporous. Composite membrane with 3:5 chitosan-sodium alginate composition had the highest proton conductivity, namely 9.594 × 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-sodium alginate composite membrane can be applied well in direct methanol fuel cell system.
