Judul: Developing Touring Plan Using Geographic Information System Based on Visual, Natural, and Cultural Quality in Parangtritis Coastal Area, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Abstrak: Parangtritis is one of tourist destination place in Indonesia that is visited by plenty of visitors because of its local legend of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul and its beautiful landscape and scenery of beach, as well as many other varieties of tourism objects, which are rarely including in a touring system that can serve the visitors with informative and recreative interpretation within the current tourism management. The objective of this study is studying on developing a touring plan in coastal area of Parangtritis based on its visual, natural, and cultural quality assessment. Those three aspects of quality are used as the basic consideration for site assessment in acquiring the potential tourism area, which is subsequently used in developing a touring system. Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) and visual character variables assessment are used in assessing the visual quality of the study area. The technique of potential zones mapping applied by Gunn (1994) combined with cartographic regionalization (Smith, 1989) are used in assessing both natural and cultural quality of the area. GIS technology is used in this study, especially to perform spatial analysis in integrating those three resources assessments to obtain a composite result considered as potential tourism area. The assessments of the study area explain that Parangtritis Area has a good quality of visual, natural, and cultural resources that are potential to be developed as tourism resources and attractions. In general, Parangtritis is dominated with high to medium quality of potential area for tourism, which includes beach, sand dunes, woodlands, and a big part of agricultural area. Based on those potential area and existing tourism objects, there are three touring alternatives that have been developed in this study by using the concept of developing an interpretive track, as adopted from Damayanti (2003). The first touring alternative is developed by visiting all the potential nodes without classifying the tourism resources. The second one is developed by classifying the visited stops based on natural and cultural tourism resources, and the last alternative is developed by focusing on the conservation values of the natural factors of coastal environment, spiritual cultural resources, and the traditional livelihood of the local community. According to the prioritizing process using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, Touring Alternative 3, which has the highest priority for the criteria of educational benefits, is perceived to be the most preferable alternative as the potential tourism network in Parangtritis Coastal Area.

Judul: The Use of Spatial Multi Criteria Analysis to Support Sustainable Tourism Planning (A Case Study in Coastal Area of Bantul Regency Yogyakarta).
Abstrak: Parangtritis Village is one of the smallest administrative boundary in the Bantul Regency that has coast line, in which tourism is the main economic sector after farming and agriculture. The limitations on space and the vulnerable ecosystem are the first to be considered in the development of tourism. The main problems are the conflict of land space utilization among stakeholders, government and community. Therefore Spatial Multi Criteria Analysis to support sustainable tourism planning is proposed. A GIS model has already been constructed with available data. Supporting decision-making in a spatial context is implicit in the use of GIS but the analytical capability of the GIS has to be enhanced to solve the problems, where Multi Criteria Analysis comes in to play. The objectives of this research are to access land suitability analysis purposes for tourism, paddy field, identify conflict area and to determine the best alternative land use by Multi Criteria Analysis method. Eleven land use policy alternatives were designed and evaluated to minimize conflict and to find the best alternative land use based on the production orientation and environmental conservation. The results of this research are area suitable for tourism, about 36.33% were of highly suitable (S1), 32.88% of suitable (S2), 24.77% of marginally suitable (S3) and 6.00% of not suitable (N). The area suitable for paddy field which about 33.63% of suitable (S2), 52.47% of marginally suitable (S3), and 13.89% of not suitable (N). The conflict of interest based on land suitability are between the suitable S2 paddy field and suitable S1 tourism of about 1.42%, S2 paddy field and suitable S2 tourism of about 26,58%. The conflicts based on existing land use are the development of hotel/infrastructure in the area of sand dune, the planting vegetation in sand dune to protect paddy field. Some assessment criteria (sand dune conservation, economic development and sustainable development) were defined and submitted to determine the best alternative. The alternative 4b (sustainable development emphases on sand dune conservation) has been found to be the best alternative. The second best was alternative 3C (economic development) and the third best was alternative 5C (sustainable development emphases on tourism infrastructure development).

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
Abstrak: Leukemia pada kucing adalah suatu penyakit yang sangat patogen, disebabkan oleh sejenis virus. Virus ini dikenal sebagai Feline Leukemia Virus atau FeLV. FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
