Judul: Perencanaan Lanskap Wisata Sejarah Banten Lama, Kota Serang, Provinsi Banten
Abstrak: Banten Lama is one of the great Islamic empires in the nation. It is located in the north coast of Banten, Kasunyatan Subdistrict, Serang Regency and City of Serang, Banten Province. Banten Lama was once the international port city of an Islamic empire that later collapsed in the 19th century. The long journey of the Banten Lama produced historical heritages site that reflects the glory of the past, among of them are Surosowan Palace, the Great Mosque of Banten, Kaibon Palace, Fort Speelwijk, Tasikardi Lake, Chinatown High Site Mosque, Vihara Alokitesvara, and other various artifacts that came from within and outside the old city. Conservation efforts in the region have been carried out since 1967, from the excavation activity until the determination of the status of heritage objects in each historical heritages site. Efforts to introduce historical value to the public is also done by making the region a tourism destination, however degradation caused by tourism activities makes it necessary to form a landscape plan that can meet the needs of tourism attractions and historical preservation of this site. The purpose of this study is to identifiey historical landscape character, to analize aspects relating the preservation of the landscape, and to plan a historical landscape tourism. This study used methods based on Simonds and Starke (2006) which includes preparation stage, inventory, analysis, synthesis and planning stage. This research also used historical approach to produce a plan that can support historical preservation aspect of the site and it's historical objects. The final results of this research is presented with a landscape plan which is described more with detailed plans that includes illustrations to give a clear picture of the site's situation. The landscape plan also explains it's conservation plan, spatial tourism plan, activities and facilities plan, and the circulation as interpretation circulation which allows travelers to access the historical tourism sites.

Judul: Perencanaan lanskap kawasan wisata budaya kampung batik laweyan, Surakarta
Abstrak: Indonesia is a country with high diversity of cultures. They reflect the history, development, and civilization of Indonesia as a great nation. One of the cultural heritage which has been officially recognized by UNESCO is Batik. Laweyan Batik Kampong is a historical area and has been a centre of batik industry since eighteenth century and it has formed an unique cultural landscape. Developing this area into a cultural tourism landscape with appropriate landscape planning, will encourage the sustainability of culture-socio life in local batik community, the preservation of physical and cultural landscape, and the security of local economy. This study aims to develop Laweyan Batik Kampong into a cultural tourism landscape by analyzing physical and community aspects. Descriptive quantitative method was used to analyze the data both statistically and spatially. Physical aspect was analyzed to obtain the cultural tourism development potential which has three assessment aspects namely cultural quality of region ( the criteria for assessment was adopted from ICOMOS 1999, The Burra Charter) , suitability of region ( the criteria for assessment was adopted from director general for tourism product development, 2000), and quality of visual-aesthetic of environment (the criteria was adopted from Nasar (1998), Burra Charter (1999), and Carmona (2006)). Local community aspect was analyzed to recognize the community acceptability (criteria for assessment was adopted from Koentjaraningrat in Yusiana, 2007). Study result shows that Laweyan Batik Kampong has opportunity to be developed into a cultural tourism landscape. This potential could be developed based on potential development zone generated from the analysis. There are two development zones namely tourism centre zone and tourism supporting zone. The centre zone will accommodate all facilities which will be used to cater cultural tourism activity, such as edu-tourism (batik tourism), and culture tourism (cultural, architectural, and historical tourism). The tourism supporting zone will accommodate the facility which supports cultural tourism such as entrance, visitor centre, and other supporting facilities. Landscape plan is derived from developing the two zones by accommodating the cultural interpretative tourism concept, tourism activity and facility development. Local government must support the development of Laweyan Batik Kampong by establishing the legal aspect to protect the heritage and socializing it to the people. I strongly recommend local government to apply the landscape planning I have created in Laweyan Batik Kampong to create a sustainable cultural tourism that consider local community, local economy, socio-culture, and environment.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
