Judul: Kajian karakter lanskap berbasis lirik tembang tradisional sunda
Abstrak: ndonesia adalah negara yang memiliki keanekaragaman budaya, salah satunya yaitu kebudayaaan Sunda. Kebudayaan Sunda merupakan kebudayaan tertua di Nusantara. Salah satu yang paling menonjol dalam kebudayaan Sunda adalah tembang Sunda. Tembang Sunda memiliki karakter yang unik dan mewakili kebudayaan Sunda. Ditinjau dari aspek lanskap, tembang Sunda bisa menjadi acuan untuk mengkaji karakter lanskap Sunda. Pengkajian dilakukan berdasarkan informasi yang terdapat dalam lirik-lirik tembang tradisional Sunda. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengkaji karakter lanskap melalui elemen-elemen lanskap serta tata letaknya yang berbasis lirik tembang tradisional Sunda. Metode yang digunakan merupakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik studi pustaka dan wawancara. Tahapan penelitian mencakup persiapan, pengumpulan data, pengolahan data, dan penyajian hasil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya tiga lingkup lanskap yang terdapat dalam lirik tembang tradisional Sunda, yaitu lanskap skala regional, lanskap skala permukiman, dan lanskap skala halaman rumah. Lanskap skala regional digambarkan melalui karakter lanskap yang bergunung-gunung dan berbukit-bukit serta sungai-sungai yang mengalir. Karakter lanskap skala permukiman digambarkan dengan adanya rumah berserta pekarangannya, alun-alun, pasar, bangunan bale, makam dan sirkulasi jalan serta letaknya di antara bukit-bukit dan lahan pertanian. Selanjutnya, karakter lanskap skala halaman rumah digambarkan dengan adanya tanaman hias yang harum wanginya dan mencolok warnanya di halaman depan rumah, serta elemen lain seperti leuit, pagar bambu, pagar hidup, empang, tanaman obat, tanaman sayur, jamban, dan sumur.

Judul: Kajian Desain Taman Rumah Tinggal Tradisional Budaya Sunda
Abstrak: Sundanese culture is one of the oldest culture in Indonesia. The study of traditional Sundanese garden needs to be done in order to get a real image about traditional Sundanese culture. The objectives of this research are to identify the elements, layout, and interpretation of sundanese garden. This research was obtained through descriptive analysis by field observation and tracing the information of culture and history. The study area are Urug Village, Bogor District; Sindang Barang Village, Bogor District; and Naga Village, Tasikmalaya District. The result of this study showed the spatial order of traditional Sundanese house divided into three parts in according the Tritangtu concept; those are the front or upper part, the central part, and back or under part. Yard of Sundanese house divided into three parts, those are the frontyard (buruan), sideyard (pipir), and the backyard (kebon). The dominant open space is an expanse of land or a grass. The forming elements of traditional sundanese garden are leuit, saung lisung, traditional bathroom (tampian), pond (balong), garden light (obor), cage of hen, and plants.

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.
