Judul: The Potential of Healing Forest Area On the Darmaga Campus of IPB
Abstrak: Healing forest menjadi kegiatan yang populer pada masyarakat perkotaan pada saat ini khususnya yang sedang mengalami stres atau sekedar untuk mencari ketenangan diri di daerah hutan kota. Kegiatan healing forest memberikan efek relaksasi pada tubuh, menenangkan pikiran dan memberikan perasaan nyaman yang berimplikasi pada penurunan tingkat stres pada tubuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisasi potensi biofisik untuk kegiatan healing forest di masing-masing spot/area, mengidentifikasi aktivitas healing forest yang dapat dikembangkan di masing-masing spot/area serta melakukan penataan area untuk keperluan healing forest pada hutan kampus IPB Darmaga. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah survei lapang dan wawancara terhadap masyarakat kampus IPB. Data yang diperoleh selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat tiga lokasi yang layak yaitu Arboretum Lanskap, Hutan Bambu dan Arboretum Lanskap. Kegiatan yang dapat dilakukan berdasarkan analisis lokasi dan preferensi masyarakat adalah berjalan-jalan di hutan, memeluk pohon serta menikmati suasana alam yang ada., Healing forest becoming a popular activity in urban communities at this time, especially those who are stressed or just to find peace of mind in urban forest areas. This activities provide a relaxing effect on the body, calm the mind and provide a comfortable feeling which has implications for reducing stress levels in our body. This study aims to take an inventory of the biophysical potential for healing forest activities in each spot/area, identify healing forest activities that can be developed in each spot/area and to organize areas for healing forest purposes in the forests of IPB Darmaga campus. This research use a field survey method and interviews with the IPB campus community. Data obtained were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that there were three feasible locations, namely the Landscape Arboretum, Bamboo Forest and Landscape Arboretum. Activities that can be carried out based on location analysis and community preferences are walking in the forest, hugging trees and enjoying the natural atmosphere.

Judul: Development of Healing Forest at Bedengan Campground and Sengkaling Recreational Park
Abstrak: Kepadatan penduduk di perkotaan menyebabkan timbulnya stress pada seseorang dan karenanya membutuhkan lingkungan yang mendukung untuk pemulihan, memberikan ketenangan dan kenyamanan. Konsep pemanfaatan hutan sebagai penyembuhan atau bisa disebut healing forest kini menjadi sebuah tren baru di dunia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji potensi biofisik healing forest di Bumi Perkemahan Bedengan dan Taman Rekreasi Sengkaling. Metode yang digunakan yaitu melakukan survei lapang, wawancara, dan melakukan studi litelatur. Setalah itu, data diolah dan dianalisis menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dan mengkomparasikan dengan kriteria healing forest menurut SNI 9006:2021. Hasil penelitian menyebutkan bahwa Bumi Perkemahan Bedengan dapat dijadikan area healing forest, sedangkan pada Taman Rekreasi Sengkaling masih perlu adanya pengembangan dibeberapa potensi biofisiknya karena tidak memenuhi kriteria. Kegiatan healing forest yang dapat dilakukan seperti berjalan menelusuri hutan dan menikmati pemandangan. Kedua lokasi yang berpotensi sebagai area healing forest dapat dikembangkan dengan cara menigkatkan pengelolaan dan penataan wilayah dengan baik, serta pemeliharaan tapak., Urban population density causes stress and therefore raises necessitates a supportive environment for recovery, providing tranquility and comfort. The concept of using forests for healing, known as healing forests, has become global trend in recent. This research aims to assess the biophysical potential of healing forests at the Bedengan Campground and Sengkaling Recreation Park. The methods used include field surveys, interviews, and literature studies. The data is then processed and analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods and compared with the healing forest criteria according to SNI 9006:2021. The research concludes that Bedengan Camping Ground can be designated as a healing forest area, while Sengkaling Recreational Park requires further development in certain biophysical aspects as it doesn't meet the criteria. Healing forest activities include walking through the forest and enjoying the scenery. Both potential locations can be developed through proper land management and further research on site development as healing forest areas is needed.

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.
