Judul: Strategi Pemerataan Pembangunan Kabupaten Bekasi
Abstrak: Bekasi as industrial areas, has considerable economic potential for the presence of South East Asia's largest industrial area inhabited by local and multi-national companies. However, the existence of an industrial area that is concentrated in a few regions or districts that have good accessibility makes the disparity with other regions. So there is much difference in economic conditions between the industrial and non-industrial areas. The industrial sector is also very dominant compared to other sectors such as agriculture. So the problems in Bekasi is the disparity between regions and between sectors. Equitable development strategy will largely determine the success of the government. Some development priorities should be prioritized to address the problem, to improve the economy in industrial region and develop the economy in non-industrial region.

Judul: Dinamika Penggunaan Lahan dan Penataan Ruang Kabupaten Bekasi
Abstrak: Bekasi Regency is a strategic area since it shares borders with Jakarta. This gives the inhabitants opportunities directly or indirectly to Jakarta’s economic power. The rapid development implies soaring requirements of space to assist various utilizations such as governmental uses, trade/commercials, services and industry. In Bekasi case, the development has been aided by availability of existing facilities, including road infrastructures. The aims of this research are to assess the dynamics of population and economic growth, spatial arrangement and their relationships to land use changes in Bekasi regency between 1995 and 2009. Methods to achieve the goal include remotely sensed image processing and statistical inquiries which consist of correlation and stepwise regession analysis. This research revealed that main land use alteration involves upland and rice fields and is largely converted to residential, industrial area or other services. Nonetheless, overall changes are insignificant during 15 year of observation. However, it is shown that land use modification tends to occur locally or clustered along Tambun, Cibitung and Cikarang zones, in particular between 2000 and 2006. During 2006-2009 period, the changes spreaded across the residency, except Bojongmangu district. It was found that the main driving factors influencing land alteration in Bekasi Regency are accessibility to road networks, rapidly-growing population, expanding facilities development and space allocation.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
