Judul: Agrotourism Landscape Planning for Coffee Plantations in Purwabakti Village Pamijahan District Bogor Regency West Java.
Abstrak: Desa Purwabakti yang terletak di Kecamatan Pamijahan, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat, masuk dalam 75 besar desa wisata terbaik pada tahapan ajang Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia (ADWI) tahun 2023 karena memiliki potensi wisata alam, pertanian, dan perkebunan yang besar. Potensi budaya dan kekayaan alam yang ada di Desa Purwabakti salah satunya ada di perkebunan kopi Gunung Gagak, terletak di Dusun Cikudamulya memiliki total luas 314,73 ha. Jumlah total produksi kopi sekitar 15-25 ton untuk sekali musim panen. Namun pemanfaatan potensi khususnya disektor perkebunan kopi di Desa Purwabakti masih fokus terhadap hasil produksi dan belum dikembangkan menjadi agrowisata. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kesesuaian lahan untuk kawasan agrowisata yang berkelanjutan, dan membuat rencana lanskap yang mengutamakan pengembangan agrowisata. Metode perencanaan yang dilakukan dimulai dari inventarisasi, analisis, sintesis, dan perencanaan lanskap. Analisis dilakukan pada aspek fisik, biofisik, kesesuaian lahan pengembangan komoditas, objek dan daya tarik wisata, persepsi dan preferensi, serta daya dukung. Konsep perencanaan yang digunakan adalah agrowisata berkelanjutan dengan memanfaatkan potensi alam dan budaya masyarakat. Penelitian ini menghasilkan rencana lanskap yang terdiri dari zona pengembangan agrowisata seluas 199,73 ha, dan zona non-pengembangan agrowisata seluas 115 ha., Purwabakti Village, located in Pamijahan District, Bogor Regency, West Java, was included in the top 75 best tourist villages in the 2023 Indonesian Tourism Village Award (ADWI) event due to its great potential for natural, agricultural, and plantation tourism. One of the cultural potentials and natural richness in Purwabakti Village is the Gunung Gagak coffee plantation, located in Cikudamulya Hamlet, with a total area of 314.73 ha. The total coffee production is around 15-25 tons per harvest season. However, the utilization of potential, especially in the coffee plantation sector in Purwabakti Village, is still focused on production results and has not been developed into agro-tourism. Therefore, this study aims to analyze land suitability for sustainable agro-tourism areas and create a landscape plan that prioritizes agro-tourism development. The planning method starts from inventory, analysis, synthesis, and landscape planning. The analysis is carried out on physical, biophysical, land suitability for commodity development, tourism objects and attractions, perceptions and preferences, and carrying capacity. The planning concept used is sustainable agro-tourism by utilizing the natural and cultural potentials of the community. This research resulted in a landscape plan consisting of a 199.73 ha agro-tourism development zone and a 115 ha non-agro-tourism development zone.

Judul: Perencanaan Lanskap Desa Barengkok Kecamatan Leuwiliang Kabupaten Bogor menuju Kawasan Agrowisata
Abstrak: Desa Barengkok is a village located in Leuwiliang, Bogor, Province of West Java. This village has + 450 Ha area whereas agricultural land has largest amount about 62,2% of the total village’s area. Be an independent agropolitan village is such a vision of Desa Barengkok. Landscape planning of agritourism becomes most potential thing to be developed in this village because of its potency in agricultural sector and human resources. This study was purposed to propose landscape planning in Desa Barengkok as an agricultural tourism area according to its landscape and society potency to pursue the village’s vision as an independent agropolitan and sustainable village. The planning process by Gold (1980) was used with resources approach, which consists of preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and landscape planning stages. Descriptive and spatial analysis were used to determine the suitability of the space. The results showed that 0,57 Ha welcome area (0,13%), 432,41 Ha production zone (95,42%), 13,62 Ha tourism zone (3,03%), and 6,4 Ha conservation zone (1,42%)

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Natrium Alginat untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Composite of chitosan and sodium alginate can be utilized as base material of proton exchange membrane (PEM). The composite membranes were produced by various concentrations of chitosan-sodium alginate, namely 3:3, 3:4, 3:5, 3:6, 4:3, 5:3, and 6:3 (% b/v). The composites were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and were tested for the performance as PEM from the proton conductivity obtained by using impedance spectrometer. The FTIR spectrum indicated the NH3C group at 1637.29 cm-1 and symmetrical COO group at 1253.68 cm-1 indicating interactions between chitosan and sodium alginate. SEM micrographs showed that the composite membrane was nonporous. Composite membrane with 3:5 chitosan-sodium alginate composition had the highest proton conductivity, namely 9.594 × 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-sodium alginate composite membrane can be applied well in direct methanol fuel cell system.
