Judul: Desain Lanskap Kawasan Pertanian Penginapan Tjikoepa Berbasis Budaya Sunda
Abstrak: Modernisasi dan globalisasi telah mengakibatkan minat masyarakat pada nilai-nilai budaya Sunda mengalami penurunan. Hal ini menyebabkan budaya Sunda sudah mulai ditinggalkan. Apabila dibiarkan tanpa adanya upaya pelestarian yang konkret maka budaya Sunda terancam mengalami kepunahan. Pola ruang dan arsitektur tradisional Sunda dapat digunakan sebagai referensi untuk desain lanskap dan ruang terbuka hijau guna meningkatkan identitas lokal Sunda dan mengenalkan budaya Sunda. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penelitian mengenai pola ruang dan lanskap tradisional Sunda sebagai bentuk upaya pelestarian terhadap nilai-nilai budaya Sunda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendesain kawasan pertanian Penginapan Tjikoepa berbasis budaya Sunda. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif melalui observasi lapangan, studi literatur, dan wawancara. Pendekatan desain yang digunakan adalah activity-based design. Ruang-ruang yang direncanakan meliputi ruang penerimaan, ruang pelayanan, ruang pribadi pemilik, ruang display, ruang komunal, ruang peternakan, perkebunan alpukat, perkebunan durian, perkebunan kopi, perkebunan hijauan, ruang offroad, ruang equestrian, ruang glamping, dan ruang relaksasi. Konsep dasar yang diterapkan adalah lanskap rekreasi berbudaya Sunda. Konsep desain yang diangkat adalah konsep kaca-kaca. Nilai-nilai budaya Sunda diterapkan pada tapak untuk melestarikan dan memperkenalkan budaya Sunda kepada masyarakat. Pergerakan didesain untuk memberi pengalaman utuh dan menyeluruh melalui ruang-ruang tersebut. Puncak pergerakan berada pada point of view dengan pemandangan bukit-bukit yang indah. Keterpaduan sistem pertanian melibatkan siklus komoditas, produk, dan limbah. Pengunjung disuguhkan karakter budaya Sunda yang tercermin mulai dari gerbang masuk sampai point of view., Modernization and globalization have caused people's interest in Sundanese cultural values to decline. This has caused Sundanese culture to begin to be abandoned. If left without concrete preservation efforts, Sundanese culture is threatened with extinction. Traditional Sundanese spatial and architectural patterns can be used as references for landscape design and green open spaces to enhance local Sundanese identity and introduce Sundanese culture. Therefore, research is needed on traditional Sundanese spatial and landscape patterns as a form of effort to preserve Sundanese cultural values. This research aims to design the Tjikoepa Inn agricultural area based on Sundanese culture. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method through field observations, literature studies, and interviews. The design approach used is activity-based design. The planned spaces include a reception space, service space, owner's private space, display space, communal space, livestock space, avocado plantation, durian plantation, coffee plantation, forage plantation, offroad space, equestrian space, glamping space, and relaxation space. The basic concept applied is a Sundanese cultural recreation landscape. The design concept raised is the kaca-kaca concept. Sundanese cultural values are applied to the site to preserve and introduce Sundanese culture to the community. Movement is designed to provide a complete and comprehensive experience through these spaces. The peak of the movement is at a point of view with beautiful views of the hills. The integration of agricultural systems involves commodity, product, and waste cycles. Visitors are presented with the character of Sundanese culture which is reflected from the entrance gate to the point of view.

Judul: Desain Lanskap Agrowisata Tamansari Berbasis Kearifan Lokal Budaya Sunda di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Economic development is coherent with industrialization in the cities. It also decrease social values and local culture indirectly. One effort to solve this problems is to conserve agriculture and local wisdom itself. Agrotourism is one of tourism type which use agriculture as its object. Tamansari site, Bogor, has potencies to become agrotourism because of authentic agroecosystem and suitable soil for agriculture. This research is purposed to design agrotourism based on Sundanese local wisdom. The methods is spatial analysis to process physical and biophysical data, quantitative analysis to quantify Carrying Capacity, Thermal Humidity Index (THI), and Agrotourism Area Feasibility Assignment, and also descriptive analysis to know user preferences. The synthesis is agrotourism development area and Opat Kalima Pancer concept design implementation. This research output is design drawing (siteplan) completed with detail drawings (section plan, perspective drawing, and planting 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.
