Judul: Pendugaan Manfaat Ruang Terbuka Hijau Dalam Pengendalian Aliran Permukaan Dengan Menggunakan Software Citygreen (Studi Kasus: Pulau Laut, Kabupaten Kotabaru, Kalimantan Selatan)
Abstrak: Perkembangan ruang kota di Pulau Laut menyebabkan terjadinya alih fungsi lahan dari ruang terbuka hijau menjadi kawasan permukiman dan perkebunan, sehingga berkurangnya kemampuan tanah menyerap air yang dapat menyebabkan ketersediaan atau akses terhadap air menjadi sulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan penutupan lahan pada periode tahun 2001-2012 dan menduga pengendalian aliran permukaan sehubungan dengan keberadaan RTH di Pulau Laut. Metode yang digunakan berupa metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan analisis Sistem Informasi Geografi (SIG) yang dikombinasi dengan ekstensi CITYgreen 5.4 dalam menduga manfaat kanopi pohon dalam pengendalian aliran permukaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa luas hutan mengalami penurunan selama 11 tahun (2001-2012). Berdasarkan analisis, keberadaan ruang terbuka hijau di Pulau Laut Timur, Utara, Barat dan Selatan masing-masing sebesar 65%, 66%, 69%, dan 64% mampu menyimpan biaya pembangunan infrastruktur buatan untuk mengendalikan aliran permukaan masing-masing sebesar Rp 501 381 065 618, -, Rp 110 930 546 437, Rp 47 724 362 364, - dan Rp 72 151 535 796, -. Berdasarkan perhitungan regresi berganda, luas ruang terbuka hijau berupa lahan pertanian memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap nilai jasa lingkungan sebesar 57.70%.

Judul: Rancang bangun sistem pengelolaan ruang terbuka hijau untuk pembangunan kota hijau
Abstrak: Greenery open space is a fundamental part of urban development and management in sustaining the quality of urban environment and the welfare of urban dwellers. A high rate of population growth and limited land owned causing the growth of physical development in the city is done by converting such green open space, agricultural land, forest and other open space for urban development purposes. This study is intended to analyze total value of greenery open space ecological benefits of Bogor City, and provide possible recommendations in order to increase the capacity of its urban ecosystem. This analytical framework is applied to Bogor City considering its peculiarities of greenery open space existence and architectures. The research was conducted by spatial approach through CITYGreen 5.4 software to determine the ecological benefits of greenery open space, based on the trees canopy cover and non trees canopy cover to predict the economic value. CityGreen is a software tool developed by American Forest that helps people understand the value of trees to the local environment. The result showed that CITYGreen 5.4 software can be used to conduct complex analysis of ecosystem services and create easy to understand reports.The software calculate dollar benefits for the services provided by the trees and other greenery open space in absorbed such harmfull pollutants, carbon storage and sequestration, and reducing storm water volumes as natural flood control. The capacity of ecological benefit can still be improved to provide greater benefits in various ways. This software will be very beneficial for city planners in evaluate site plan, and model development scenario that capture the benefits of trees.

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
