Judul: Dampak Pengembangan Ekowisata Terhadap Kehidupan Sosial dan Ekonomi Masyarakat Lokal (Studi Kasus Ekowisata Bahari Pulau Mansuar Kabupaten Raja Ampat)
Abstrak: Kabupaten Raja Ampat adalah kabupaten bahari yang wilayahnya terdiri dari ratusan pulau besar dan kecil. Posisinya pada jantung segitiga karang dunia menjadikan Kabupaten Raja Ampat termasuk sebagai salah satu kawasan yang memiliki keanekaragaman hayati laut tropis terkaya (CII 2004 dalam Dinas Perikanan dan Kelautan Raja Ampat 2007). Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Conservation International Indonesia (CII 2004) menyimpulkan bahwa laut Kabupaten Raja Ampat termasuk salah satu kawasan terumbu karang terbaik di Indonesia. Kekayaan keanekaragaman hayati laut ini merupakan potensi yang dapat dikembangkan untuk kegiatan ekowisata bahari. Salah satu pulau di Raja Ampat yang telah dikembangkan kegiatan ekowisata bahari adalah Pulau Mansuar di Distrik Meos Mansaar. Pengembangan ekowisata bahari di Mansuar melalui kegiatan menyelam, snorkel dan kegiatan alternatif seperti pengamatan burung dan wisata budaya menyebabkan terjadinya interaksi antara wisatawan dan masyarakat lokal sehingga diduga dapat menimbulkan dampak sosial maupun ekonomi bagi masyarakat. Untuk mengetahui dampak yang terjadi, maka perlu dilakukan penelitian ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi awal di Distrik Meos Mansaar sebelum adanya kegiatan ekowisata dan menganalis dampak sosial dan ekonomi yang terjadi pada masyarakat lokal.

Judul: Pengelolaan Sumberdaya Terumbu Karang Dalam Kawasan Pengembangan Wisata Bahari KKLD Selat Dampier Kabupaten Raja Ampat.
Abstrak: The area of Gam island, Mansuar and Kri of island in the north MPAs of Dampier Strait Raja Ampat regency has potential of coral reef resources for development of marine tourism. The focus management of coral reef to economic rise with management non extractive. The objectives of this research was (a) to analyze the suitability and carrying capacity of coral reef ecosystem for tourism development and (b) to analyze partsipation of stakeholder in management of coral reef resources. The coral reef ecosystem can be used to study its suitability for marine tourism objects of diving. Collected data were life form of coral reef, coral fish, current speed, water transparency and coral reef depth. The formula used to determine tourism suitability is suitability matrix of diving, and Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) to judge the quality of landscape. Line intercept transect method showed that islands of Gam, Mansuar and Kri area had a condition of coral reef in the category of “good” with the average coral coverage is 63.75%. However, public participation in the management of coral reefs for the development of marine tourism to has not been done its full potential according to the analysis of community participation.

Judul: Sintesis Flavon dari Fenol dan Benzoil Klorida
Abstrak: Flavone is a class of flavonoid, commonly found in plants with wide bioactivity spectrum. A widely used flavone synthesis route is through acidcatalyzed oxidative cyclization of β-diketone. In this study, unsubstituted flavone had been synthesized via 5-step from phenol, with 22% yield and successfully increased the yield of previous study on Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate and benzoylation of o-HAP steps. Phenol was acetylated resulting 93% phenyl acetate. AlCl3-catalyzed Fries rearrangement in 1.5 hour and at 120 °C converted phenyl acetate into o-hydroxyacetophenone (o-HAP) with 40% yield. AlCl3 as catalyst produced o-HAP with higher and reproducible yield compared with BF3·Et2O and ZnCl2. Benzoylation of o-HAP followed by Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of the ester product using KOH in dried pyridine produced β-diketone 1-(2- hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione. The yield of ester and β-diketone were 71% and 85%, respectively. Finally, oxidative cyclization of β-diketone with sulphuric acid as catalyst produced 99% of flavone. The flavone product had been characterized spectroscopically and its melting point as well.
