Judul: Pengembangan Framework Usability dan Evaluasi Situs Web e-government Dinas Pelayanan Daerah Tingkat Provinsi di Indonesia.
Abstrak: Tujuan dari pengembangan e-government adalah mempermudah masyarakat dalam memperoleh informasi, transaksi dan layanan publik yang menggunakan media internet. Beberapa dinas telah melaksanakan penerapan e-government namun belum tahu seberapa jauh tingkat usability, diperlukan evaluasi terhadap situs web pemerintah dalam berbagai jenis antarmuka pengguna, seperti usability. Berdasarkan penelitian yang sudah dilakukan, dapat diketahui bahwa belum terdapat guideline di Indonesia untuk mengevaluasi situs web e-government dari segi usability pada tingkat 3 Transaction dan tingkat 4 Connected. Karena itu, diperlukan pengembangan framework usability yang sesuai dengan kondisi lokal Indonesia untuk mengevaluasi situs web e-government dinas pelayanan pemerintah pada tingkat provinsi di Indonesia. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menunjang upaya strategis oleh pemerintah untuk meningkatkan performa situs webnya terutama dari segi usability dan muatan konten yang disajikan, dan dapat dijadikan acuan untuk meningkatkan rate e-government Indonesia.

Judul: Pengembangan Framework untuk Mengukur Usability dan Accessibility pada Situs-situs Web e-Government Provinsi di Indonesia
Abstrak: Every website includes government websites (province, city/county) should be user friendly or easy to use by users of different abilities. Therefore, ease of use factors on website for general user (known as usability) and for people with disabilities (known as accessibility) are important to improve public services quality effectively and efficiently. This paper conducted usability and accessibility evaluation to 31 Indonesian provinces active websites. The usability evaluation method of provinces websites is direct user observation method with 31 respondents and uses several parameters such as total time in seconds, total steps, success level, respond time, and type of responder. The accessibility evaluation was held on provinces websites by using Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 standards. The result showed that in term of usability, Jambi Province has the highest rank and Nusa Tenggara Barat Province has the lowest rank. The evaluation also found that Indonesia province websites still have low responsiveness due to the lack of feedback sent to answer the respondent’s questions. In this paper, think out loud method also can be used to measure respondent’s satisfaction and the evaluation result showed that all provinces websites have negative responds dominantly. In term of accessibility, Jawa Barat and DI Yogyakarta have the highest rank, Sumatera Utara and Sumatera Barat have the lowest rank. The result of correlation test using Pearson Product Moment shows that usability and accessibility evaluations have low correlation to each other, its means that an accessible website cannot also be concluded as usable website. The research recommends reducing submenus that should be clicked, using dropdown form to open the main menus, and providing an effective search engine in every web page, etc, to improve public services quality effectively and efficiently. To improve accessibility performance, the recommendations are provide and improve the facilities on WCAG 2.0 success criteria that cannot be fulfilled yet based on the accessibility evaluation results.

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.
