Judul: Model spasial kerentanan produksi beras menggunakan teknologi inderaja dan SIG (studi kasus di Kabupaten Indramayu, Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: In 2005 and 2009, BKP and WFP has provided food security conditions in Indonesia on Food Insecurity Map which were developed using food availability, food accessibility, food absorption and food vulnerability. There are 100 out of 265 districts in Indonesia or about 37.7%, which fall into the vulnerable to very vulnerable categories, where 11 districts were found in Java. The main objective of this research is to develope a spatial model of the rice production vulnerability based on Remote Sensing and GIS technologies for estimating the reduction of production condition. Several criteria used to obtain production vulnerability information are percentage level of green vegetation (PV), rainfall anomaly (ACH), land degradation due to erosion (Deg), and paddy harvest failure due to drought and flood in paddy field (BK). Dynamic spatial information on the greenness level of land cover can be obtained from multitemporal EVI (Enhanced vegetation Index) of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data. While spatial information of paddy harvest failure was estimated by using vegetation index, land surface temperature and moisture parameters with advance image processing of multitemporal EVI MODIS data. The GIS technology were used to perform spatial modelling based on weighted overlay index (multicriteria analysis). The method for computing weight of factors in the vulnerability model was AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), while the method for computing the weights of drought prediction model was trial-and-error. The weight on flood estimating model was computed using the CMA. The spatial model of production vulnerability (KPB) developed in this study is as follows : = . + . + . + . This research concludes that the spatial distribution of production vulnerability condition can be estimated using the spatial model having 84.6 % of accuracy. In this study, level of production vulnerability can be categorized into six classes, i.e.: (1) invulnerable ; (2) very low vulnerability ; (3) low vulnerability; (4) moderately vulnerable ; (5) highly vulnerable ; and (6) extremely vulnerable. The result of spatial modelling then was used to evaluate progress production vulnerability condition at several sub-districts in Indramayu Regency. According to the investigation results of WFP in 2005, this area fall into moderately vulnerable category. Only few sub-districts that fall into highly and extremely vulnerable during the period of May ~ August 2008, namely: Kandanghaur, Losarang, part of Lohbener, and Arahan.

Judul: Pemetaan kawasan berpotensi banjir menggunakan sistem informasi georafis
Abstrak: Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) can be applied to identify potential flood area. Remote Sensing helps to extract information without direct interaction with the object. On the other hand, GIS can be used to identify flood prone of an area using overlay method toward the parameters that causes flood phenomena. The object of this research was to mapping the vulnerability of flood area in Indramayu Regency using cartography models of biophysics parameters, to study the distribution and characteristic of flood area in Indramayu Regency, and to study the result using different rainfall parameters and weight category for mapping vulnerable flood area in Indramayu Regency. Data processing was done using software such as ArcView 3.3, ERDAS Imagine 9.1, and Frame & Fill (USGS). The used data are rainfall, Landsat Imagery; DEM, SRTM data; soil map, river map, and landform map. The methods consist of imagery analysis, DEM data analysis, rainfall data analysis, attribute data analysis, spatial analysis dan vulnerabilty class analysis. Rainfall parameter divided into two groups, the first group used annual mean rainfall data and the second group used monthly mean rainfall data (threemonth peak of rainy season). Proportion of parameters that called as a weight category in this research divided into two groups, the first group with different weight and the second group with equal weight. The results showed that Indramayu Regency can be concluded as a potential flood area, where the north side of Indramayu Regency is more vulnerable rather than the south side. The land characteristic of the potential flood area are flat area, alluvial plains, bad drainage, and paddy field land cover. The map that using monthly mean rainfall data and different weight is more representative for mapping flood area in Indramayu Regency.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
