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: Mud Crab’s (Scylla serrata Forskal 1775) Response to Different Decaying Level of Gold Snail (Pomacea canaliculata Lamarck 1822) Bait.
Abstrak: Mud crab is well known as omnivorous-vigorous-voracious-opportunistic-scavenger. These intertidal animals applies mainly chemoreception in their predatory behaviour. It has been commonly assumed that non fresh gold snail bait is better than fresh bait in stimulating the mud crab. This research's aim is to analyze mud crab response to different decaying level of gold snail bait. Their response were observed as time required to touch the bait and pattern and direction of the mud crab in approaching the baits. The different decaying level of gold snail baits were shown on Total Volatile Base Nitrogen (TVBN) as 16.3 mg/100g (0 day); 534.1 mg/100g (3 days); and 887.4 mg/100g (6 days). The research was conducted from July 2009 until February 2011. The TVBN test for gold snail baits were conducted at Laboratory of BBPPHP Jakarta. The experiment was conducted in Pemalang. The result showed that the average period of mud crabs to touch the baits were 52.14 minutes; 61.57 minutes and 52.57 minutes. Anova test concluded no sufficient evidence of significant effect of TVBN content of gold snail bait on mud crab’s feeding behaviour. Movement pattern B, i.e. left and right deviation followed by straight forward movement to the bait, was commonly exhibited by the crabs. Consequences of time period required by the mud crab to approach the bait on fishing operation is discussed.
