Judul: Pola pembinaan dan pengembangan suaka margasatwa Bali Barat
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membuat pola pembinaan dan pengembangan SM Bali Barat. di kawasan SM Bali Barat. Penelitian dilakukan SM Bali Paret mempunyai potensi fisik dan biotik yang sangat baik. Kawasan ini masih dapat dipertahankan statusnya sebagai Suaka Marg as atwa. Pola Pengembangan SM Bali Barat ditujukan untuk memanfaatkan potensi fisik dan biotik kawasan untuk kepentingan perlindungan dan pengawetan alam, penelitian, pendidikan, kebudayaan dan rekreasi dengan mem- perhatikan kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat, dan kondisi tingkat pengembangan serta pembangunan daerah maupun nasio- nal. Di SM Bali Barat terdapat jenis margasatwa yang khas dan langka yaitu jalak putih (Leucops ar rothschildi) banteng (Bos sondaicus). dan Jalak putih di SM Bali Barat ter- sebar di daerah Batugondang, Tegal Bunder Barat, Tegal Bunder Timur, Cekik, dan Banyuwedang. Sedangkan banteng hanya tersebar di daerah Celzik, Tegal Bunder Timur dan disepanjang Sungai Teluk Terima. Kehidupan jalak putih dan banteng di SM Bali Barat dewasa ini tidak dijamin kelestariannya karena adanya pemburu-pemburu liar dan perusakkan habitat. Disamping margasatwa khas, SM Bali Barat juga memiliki flora khas, yaitu sawo kecik alam (Manilkara kauki) dan lontar alam (Borassus flabellifer). SM Bali Barat juga memiliki tipe-tipe vegetasi yang komplit, dari mulai vegetasi pantai, vegetasi magrove, vegetasi dataran rendah, sampai dengan vegetasi pegu- nungan. SM Bali Barat tidak saja hanya berfungsi sebagai kawasan perlindungan dan pelestarian alam, tetapi juga dapat berfungsi cukup besar dalam bidang pendidikan, kebudayaan, penelitian dan bidang rekreasi serta pariwisata. Kegiatan rekreasi alam yang dapat dikembangkan adalah menyaksikan ting- kah laku kelompok jalak putih dan kera, fotografi, seni lukis memancing, bersampan, berenang, berjalan kaki, berkemah berburu rusa di Pulau Menjangan. Agar potensi SM Bali Barat dapat dimanfaatkan secara maksimal sesuai dengan fungsinya, maka pembinaan SM Bali Barat harus segera ditingkatkan. Langkah pertama yang sangat penting dalam kegiatan pembinaan SM Bali Barat adalah menghentikan segala kegiatan pengusahaan hutan yang ada di dalem kawasan Suaka Margasatwa, kemudian pengontrak-pengontrak tanaman yang bermukim di dalam kawasan SM Bali Barat herus segera dipindahkan. Pengusahaan hutan oleh Dinas Kehutanan Propinsi Bali di dalam kawasan SM Bali Barat ternyata sangat mengganggu kelestarian populasi dan habitat margasatwa terutama jalak putih dan banteng. Pengembangan SM Bali Barat perlu dilakukan dengan penyempurnaan beberapa hal yaitu mengadakan zonasi kawasan berdasarkan pertimbangan ekosistem, dan sifat-sifat ekologis margasatwa serta luas kawasan, menyempurnakan struktur organisasi dan kepegawaian, peralatan, bangunan pengaman dan fasilitas pegawai serta kantor, dan jaringan jalan inspeksi, mengusahakan biaya yang cukup, dan menyempurnakan bangunan-bangunan serta peralatan untuk kegiatan pariwisata, penelitian dan pendidikan.

Judul: Analisis gap kebijakan pengelolan kawasan suaka margasatwa : Kasus di SM Balairaja, Bengkalis, Riau
Abstrak: Conservation area represents pillar of ecosystem stabilization that gives various protections for ecology processes and a lot of species varieties, as treasure for future that the benefit is still unknown. By now, the big potency that is had by conservation area faces serious threats therefore the area management becomes an urgent agenda. The research objective is to identify and evaluate management policy of SM Balairaja area, also formulate and give policies alternative recommendation of SM Balairaja management. The research was located in Mandau District of Bengkalis Regency at five of study villages: Pematang Pudu, Balairaja, Petani, Pinggir and Tengganau during March until September 2004. Data sources were taken by direct observation and result from researches that were part of “Baseline Study on Balairaja Conservation Area, Riau” supported by PPLH-IPB and PT Caltex Pacific Indonesia. The variety, richness and threat that were faced by vegetation and wild animal described descriptively, social culture activities were identified by FGD method (Focus Discussion Group) and deep interview, then policy alternative used AHP method (Analytical Hierarchy Process). Result showed the variety and richness rare of vegetation and wild animal in SM Balairaja area happened because of government compilation through contradictive codes, also the destructiveness activities involvement of economic social without strict law enforcement since area had been specified as wilderness area. AHP result gave the main policy of priority alternative in area management that was taken by Non government. The focus of program be on society management by management priority on social culture factor. Priority scale that was chosen showing un sensitive to preferences change of PHKA, BKSDA, PT.CPI, LSM, and Society. Beside that, research showed the stakeholders perception was different with the exist codes.

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.
