Abstrak: Way Kambas National Park (TNWK) is the conservation area in the form of a national park located at Lampung Province. One of the problems experienced in TNWK is a forest fire that occurred. The fire seems to be triggered by land clearing activities conducted by community in TNWK. The fire may affect environmental condition as well as economic and social condition. The impact of fire will not only resulted in losses in the field of the environment, but also have an impact in the field of economic and social. There are two models of land preparation conducted by the District community in Rajabasa Lama, namely slash and burn technique and zero burning technique. Both land preparation with slash and burn technique and zero burning technique having its implementation each stage. According to financial assessment of cost efficiency analysis by counting Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), the results that preparation of land with zero burning technique more efficient than slash and burn technique to the value of each BCR respectively 2.45 and 2.24.

Abstrak: INTRODUCTION. A conservation area contains of nature reserve and nature park. A nature reserve is a protected area of importance for wildlife, flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest, which is reserved and managed for conservation and to provide special opportunities for study or research of science, culture, education, and technology to support the improvement of human prosperity and national development. A nature park is an area that usually used for tourism and nature recreation. The declaration of a conservation area aim to preserve the variation of wildlife, flora, fauna and its ecosystem. It is also an area which absorbs the lives surround it. Kamojang forest area is an important area which is located in citarum and cimanuk rivers. It means it has a strategic role to carry on the vital project such as Saguling, Cirata, Jatiluhur and Jatigede water dam. Nowadays, the threat to the stability of Kamojang nature reserve area in Garut, West Java is getting worst because of the growth of people and crisis of economics. The pressures suggest many people to open the forest, illegal logging, and forest fire. Because of that forest fire management system is needed and done effectively and efficiently. The purpose of the research is to identify, describe and analyze; 1) Land and forest fire control in conservation forest Bureau of Natural Resources Conservation (BKSDA) Garut, West Java, 2) Coordination system and participation among BKSDA Kamojang and related institution, private company, and community around the conservation area in forest fire control system. MATERIAL AND METHOD. The research was done in BKSDA Kamojang SKW V Garut, West Java. It is conducted from July to September 2008. it used qualitative approach which attempted to identify and describe The implementation of land and forest fire control in BKSDA Kamojang. It used triangulation method with observation technique, deep interview, participatory observation and documentary analyzing. The Analyzing data contains data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. RESULT AND CONCLUTIONS. Forest and land fire control in conservation area needs different approaching and handling than other types of forest. All stakeholders have their responsible to natural resources and its preservation. Forest fire control which is applied by BKSDA Kamojang Garut, west Java.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
