Judul: Landscape Planning of Ecotourism Area in Sukagalih Village, Cipeuteuy, Kabandungan, Sukabumi
Abstrak: Kampung Sukagalih merupakan salah satu kampung di Kabupaten Sukabumi yang wilayahnya berbatasan langsung dengan kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak. Perannya sebagai kawasan penyangga TNGHS, kondisi alam, serta ragam objek dan daya tarik wisata Kampung Sukagalih berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai kawasan ekowisata. Namun belum adanya rencana pengembangan ekowisata berkelanjutan serta sarana dan prasaran wisata yang belum memadai menyebabkan performa ekowisata kawasan Kampung Sukagalih mengalami kendala. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah menyusun perencanaan lanskap kawasan ekowisata di Kampung Sukagalih, Desa Cipeuteuy, Kabandungan, Sukabumi. Perencanaan kawasan ekowisata dilakukan dengan pendekatan ECOS (Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum) yang dikembangkan oleh Boyd dan Butler (1996). Metode perencanaan lanskap ini didasarkan pada analisis objek dan daya tarik wisata, analisis kerentanan fisik kawasan, analisis preferensi dan akseptabilitas masyarakat, serta analisis kawasan ekowisata. Hasil penelitian berupa perencanaan lanskap yang dibuat dengan mempertimbangkan keragaman sumber daya alam dan budaya masyarakat sebagai objek dan atraksi wisata sehingga meminimalisir ancaman degradasi lingkungan. Perencanaan lanskap menghasilkan rencana ruang, rencana aktivitas dan fasilitas, rencana sirkulasi, rencana tata hijau, serta rencana perjalanan wisata. Kata kunci: ECOS, Kampung Sukagalih, lanskap ekowisata, ODTW, perencanaan lanskap, Village is one of the villages whose area is directly adjacent to the Mount Halimun Salak National Park area. Its role as a buffer area, natural conditions, and various attractions offered potential to be developed as an ecotourism area. The absence of a sustainable ecotourism planning and inadequate tourism facilities and infrastructure have caused the ecotourism performance area obstructed. The objective of this study is to create landscape planning of ecotourism areas in Sukagalih Village, Cipeuteuy Village, Kabandungan, Sukabumi. Ecotourism area planning is based on (Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum) approach developed by Boyd and Butler (1996). This landscape planning method is based on the analysis of tourist objects and attractions, analysis of physical vulnerability of the area, analysis of community preferences and acceptability, and analysis of ecotourism areas. The results of the study are landscape planning that made by considering the diversity of natural and cultural resources. Landscape planning produces space plans, activity and facility plans, circulation plans, green plan, and touring plan.

Judul: Ciletuh Geo Area Landscape Planning as Ecotourism Area Based on Bioregion
Abstrak: Geoarea Ciletuh, sebagai bagian dari Geopark Ciletuh-Pelabuhanratu memiliki lanskap dalam bentuk dataran bertingkat berbentuk tapal kuda yang menyerupai amfiteater terbuka yang mengarah ke Teluk Ciletuh. Kawasan ini memiliki keanekaragaman sumber daya, berupa ragam geologi, keanekaragaman biologi, dan keanekaragaman budaya. Keragaman sumber daya tersebut merupakan potensi yang dapat dikembangkan dalam membuka peluang bisnis untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar, menambah pendapatan daerah dan juga memperkenalkan kekayaan alam Sukabumi baik di dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Ekowisata merupakan salah satu bentuk pengembangan kawasan yang membutuhkan strategi perencanaan, pemanfaatan, pengendalian, penguatan kelembagaan, dan pemberdayaan masyarakat dengan memperhatikan prinsip sosial, ekonomi, ekologi, yang melibatkan pemangku kepentingan dalam mengelola potensi ekowisata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menyusun rencana lanskap Geoarea Ciletuh sebagai kawasan ekowisata berbasis bioregion. Perencanaan lanskap dilakukan berdasarkan identifikasi dan analisis potensi objek dan daya tarik ekowisata pada sumber daya geodiversitas, biodiversitas dan culture diversity. Identifikasi dan analisis karakteristik sumber daya dan potensi objek dan daya tarik ekowisata dilakukan berdasarkan pendekatan bioregion. Arahan pemanfaatan aktivitas ekowisata pada setiap unit bioregion dan rencana lanskap disusun dengan pendekatan kerangka kerja Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) yang dikembangkan oleh Boyd dan Butler (1994) yang mengutamakan kelestarian lingkungan. Perencanaan lanskap ekowisata menghasilkan rencana lanskap, rencana aktivitas, rencana sirkulasi, dan rencana vegetasi., Ciletuh Geoarea, as part of Celetuh Geopark has a landscape in the form of a horseshoe-shaped plateau (amphitheater) that opens towards the Ciletuh Bay. This area has a diversity of resources, in the form of geological diversity, biological diversity, and cultural diversity. The variety of resources is a potential that can be developed in opening business opportunities for human will-being, increase regional income and also introducing the natural wealth of Sukabumi both domestically and abroad. Ecotourism is one form of regional development that requires a strategy of planning, utilization, control, institutional strengthening, and community empowerment with due regard to social, economic, ecological principles, which involve stakeholders in managing ecotourism potential. The purpose of this study is to develop a landscape plan of Ciletuh Geoarea as a ecotourism area based on Bioregion. Landscape planning is carried out based on the identification and analysis of potential object and ecotourism attractions in geodiversity, biodiversity, and culture diversity resource. Identification and analysis of resource characteristic and the potential of ecotourism object and attractions are carried out based on the bioregion approach. Directions for the use of ecotourism in each bioregion unit and the landscape plans are arranged by Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) framework approach developed by Boyd and Butler (1994) that prioritizes environmental sustainability. The ecotourism landscape planning produces landscape plan, activity and facility plan, circulation and interpretation path plan, and vegetation plan.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
