Judul: Slum Settlement Through an Integrated Program (study case: District of West Bogor)
Abstrak: Program KOTAKU merupakan platform kolaborasi dalam penanganan permukiman kumuh yang dilaksanakan dengan menerapkan multiaktor dan multisektor. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya, kegiatan-kegiatan penanganan tersebut tidak berjalan sinergis karena tidak terpadunya pola penanganan di lokasi prioritas penanganan permukiman kumuh sehingga upaya penuntasan permukiman kumuh belum terlihat hasilnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah merencanakan kegiatan penanganan permukiman kumuh di lokasi prioritas berdasarkan program terintegrasi di Kecamatan Bogor Barat. Perencanaan diawali dengan mengidentifikasi sebaran lokasi permukiman kumuh kemudian menentukan lokasi prioritas penanganan permukiman kumuh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan permukiman kumuh di Kecamatan Bogor Barat tersebar di 15 kelurahan. Berdasarkan hasil penilaian dari kondisi kekumuhan dan pertimbangan lain, kelurahan yang menjadi lokasi prioritas penanganan yaitu Kelurahan Situ Gede, Kelurahan Cilendek Barat dan Kelurahan Pasir Jaya. Program terintegrasi dilaksanakan secara terpusat di Kelurahan Situ Gede., The KOTAKU program is a collaboration platform in the handling of slum settlements which is carried out by implementing multi-actor and multi-sectoral approaches. However in practice, these handling activities do not run synergistically because there is no integrated pattern of handling in priority locations for handling slum settlements so that efforts to complete slum settlements have not seen results. The purpose of this study is to plan activities for handling slum settlements in priority locations based on an integrated program in West Bogor District. Planning begins with identifying the distribution of slum locations and then determining the priority locations for handling slums. The results showed that slum settlements in West Bogor District were spread over 15 urban villages. Based on the results of the assessment of the slum conditions and other considerations, the sub-district that are the priority locations for handling are Situ Gede Village, Cilendek Barat Village and Pasir Jaya Village. The integrated program is implemented centrally in Situ Gede Village.

Judul: Identification of Slum Areas in Central Bogor District
Abstrak: Peningkatan jumlah penduduk yang tidak sebanding ketersedian lahan menjadi masalah bagi masyarakat yang menyebabkan sulit mendapatkan akses pemukiman yang layak. Tidak hanya itu, urbanisasi juga menjadi tantangan dalam menciptakan pemukiman yang layak bagi masyarakat. Kondisi ini terjadi di Kota Bogor salah satunya Kecamatan Bogor Tengah. Tujuan penelitan ini adalah mengetahui tingkat kekumuhan kawasan di Kecamatan Bogor Tengah, mengidentifikasi prasarana berdasarkan kriteria bangunan, dan membuat identifikasi lokasi prioritas penanganan pemukiman kumuh. Hasil penilaian pemukiman kumuh di Kecamatan Bogor tengah yaitu terdapat 10 kelurahan di Kecamatan Bogor Tengah termasuk dalam kualitas kumuh ringan. Persentase kekumuhan terbesar terdapat pada Keluruhan Babakan Pasar sebesar 41,97 % dan persentase luasan terkecil yaitu Kelurahan Ciwaringin sebesar 2,32%. Adapun kondisi bangunan gedung yaitu 60,86% bangunan tidak teratur, 27,66% bangunan tidak memenuhi persyaratan teknis, dan kepadatan bangunan tingkat sedang yaitu 60 Unit/Ha. Hasil prioritas penanangan kumuh berdasarkan pertimbangan lain kondisi gedung. Berdasarkan kondisi gedung maka prioritas penanganan kumuh di masing-masing kelurahan yaitu Kelurahan Kebonkalapa, Keluruhan Cibogor, Kelurahan Sempur, Kelurahan Babakan Pasar, dan Kelurahan Paledang. Saran dalam penelitian ini yaitu pada aspek fisik sarana prasarana dan aspek non fisik., An increase in population that is disproportionate to the availability of land is a problem for the community which makes it difficult to get access to decent housing. Not only that, urbanization is also a challenge in creating decent housing for the community. This condition occurs in Bogor City, one of which is Central Bogor District. The aim of this research is to determine the level of slum areas in Central Bogor District, identify infrastructure based on building criteria, and identify priority locations for handling slum settlements. The results of the assessment of slum settlements in Central Bogor District are that there are 10 sub-districts in Central Bogor District which are categorized as light slums. The largest percentage of slums is in Babakan Pasar Village at 41.97% and the smallest percentage is Ciwaringin Village at 2.32%. The condition of the buildings is that 60.86% of the buildings are irregular, 27.66% of the buildings do not meet technical requirements, and the building density is medium level, namely 60 units/ha. The priority results for slum management are based on other considerations of building conditions. Based on the condition of the buildings, the priority for handling slums in each sub-district is Kebonkalapa Subdistrict, Cibogor Subdistrict, Sempur Subdistrict, Babakan Pasar Subdistrict, and Paledang Subdistrict. The suggestions in this research are on the physical aspects of infrastructure and non-physical aspects.

Judul: Characteristic of chili drying (Capsicum annum L.) as a natural dyeing cosmetic
Abstrak: Chilli (Capsicum sp.) contains carotenoids, which are a group of natural pigments consist of red, orange or yellow color. Carotenoids can be dissolved in lipid so that they can be applied to oil-based cosmetic ingredients. Therefore, chilli is potential to be developed as cosmetic colorants. However, pungency of red chili needs to be removed because it is irritating and it provides stinging sensation to skin. Red chilli was investigated as a potent material for a cosmetic colourant in this research because it has a nice uniform red color and has a pungency level less than cayenne pepper. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of blanching on drying characteristics of red chilli using a tray dryer, determine the proper time of chili blanching in sodium bisulfite solution, examine color changes stability of red chili powder as a cosmetic dye, and analyze the effect of oleoresin extraction on color and pungency level of red chili powder. The results showed that blanching could affect the drying characteristics. Blanching the chilli for 9 minutes prior drying could speed up the drying rate of chilli and thus the drying time, therefore, the chilli achieved the desired moisture content fast. Sodium bisulfite solution of 0.2%, used as the blanching media, could maintain the color well. However, longer time of blanching might cause several pigments soluble in the blanching media. Blanching the chilli for 9 minutes was able to maintain red color after the stability tested and after extraction of oleoresin. Therefore, blanching red chilli in a solution of 0.2% sodium bisulfite for 9 minutes prior drying is concluded as the best treatment to retain the color of red chilli powder
