Judul: Prospek Pengembangan Ekowisata Primata di Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum, Kalimantan Barat
Abstrak: Primata belum menjadi fokus dalam pengelolaan di Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum, maka dari itu diperlukan pengembangan ekowisata primata. Pengembangan ekowisata primata merupakan bentuk alternatif dari pengelolaan satwa liar. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum di wilayah Resort Lupak Mawang, Semangit dan Resort Sepandan yang bertujuan untuk menilai potensi primata dan kondisi lingkungan untuk pengembangan ekowisata primata dan menyusun prospek pengembangan ekowisata primata di Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum. Penelitian menggunakan metode observasi langsung dan studi pustaka. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah ADO-ODTWA yang telah dimodifikasi dengan konsentrasi pada primata dan analisis deskriptif. Prospek pengembangan ekowisata primata di Resort Lupak Mawang, Resort Semangit dan Resort Sepandan memiliki nilai indeks potensi ekowisata primata masing-masing sebesar 83,56%, 80,86%, dan 87,44% dengan kategori layak untuk dikembangkan. Resort Sepandan memiliki nilai tertinggi yang dapat dijadikan sebagai rekomendasi prioritas dalam pengembangan ekowisata primata karena selain potensi yang dimiliki di dalam kawasan terdapat potensi yang dimiliki di luar kawasan, sehingga untuk memaksimalkan potensi yang dimiliki diperlukan pengembangan ekowisata primata., Primates have not become a focus in the management of Danau Sentarum National Park, therefore it is necessary to develop primate ecotourism. The development of primate ecotourism is an alternative form of wildlife management. This research was conducted in Danau Sentarum National Park in the area of Resort Lupak Mawang, Resort Semangit and Resort Sepandan which aims to assess the potential of primates and the environment for the development of primate ecotourism and develop prospects for the development of primate ecotourism in Danau Setarum National Park. The research using direct observation and study methods. References. The analytical method used is the ADO-ODTWA which has been determined with a concentration on primates and descriptive analysis. The prospect of primate ecotourism development at the Lupak Mawang Resort, Semangit Resort and Sepandan Resort has a primate ecotourism potential index value of 83,56%, 80,86%, and 87,44%, respectively, with a feasible category for development. The Sepandan Resort has the highest value that can be used as a priority recommendation in the development of primate ecotourism because in addition to the potential possessed in the area, there is potential outside the area, so as to maximize the potential needed in the development of primate ecotourism.

Judul: Kajian Pengelolaan Kesejahteraan Satwa dan Pengembangan Pemanfaatannya sebagai Obyek Wisata di Taman Wisata Alam Punti Kayu Palembang Sumatera Selatan
Abstrak: The animals in Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park are divided into two groups; there are animals in the Punti Kayu Animals Park and wild animals in nature Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park. A comprehensive study on animals welfare management and their utilization development is important in order to get synergic relation among animals utilization development as tourism object to animals protection, animals conservation, animals welfare principals and also to managers and visitors interest. The aim of this study is to understand animals welfare management in order to get alternative strategy in developing animals-based tourism in Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park. This study was conducted in Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park, Palembang, South Sumatra over the past two months, July-August 2009. The objects of study were animals, visitors, and managers Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park. Data were collected through literature study, interviews and field observations. The data analysis consisted of animals welfare management in the Punti Kayu Animal Park, visitors perceptions to tourism management at Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park and SWOT analysis to prepare the program of tourism development. Based on the observation, there were 4 wild animals observed in Pintu Kayu Natural Recreational Park. Animals that were collected at the Punti Kayu Animal Park consist of 29 species that can be classified into 3 classes (mammals, birds, and reptiles). Animal management is focused in Punti Kayu Animal Park that can be seen from the feed, stable, and health managements. Implementation achievement of animal welfare in Punti Kayu Animal Park is categorized in the criteria of moderate with average value of 1.6. Visitors motivation coming to Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park is mostly to enjoy the natural views (52%). The intensity of arrival shows that 35% of visitors have ever come to Natural Recreational Park more than three times. The reason of revisiting the area is because they were interested to watching the animals (54.41%). Most of visitors (61%) prefer visiting animal park to other spots in whole area of Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park. Beruang madu is the most wanted animal, 27 % visitors wanted to see this animal. Based on visitors perceptions, tourism activities in Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park have been managed well with total score 11.53. Tourism objects that have been managed in Punti Kayu Natural Recreational Park are pine plantations forests, fauna museum, animal park, lake, recreational park, outbound arena, swimming pool and entertainment stage.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
