Abstrak: Land cover in forested area has changed rapidly. Land conversion, illegal logging, land clearing and fire are few factors which caused forest decrease. Indigenous people in Kasepuhan Citorek, who lives in and around the forest, is a community with manners and customs prescription including human – nature relation particularly in forest management. But as population growth rapidly, the forest resources become degraded in those area and therefore needed an observation. Geographic Information System and remote sensing are kind of technology which can help that task. The aims of this study were (1) to examine the boundaries, land classification and management of Citorek customary forest based on society information, (2) to examine land cover in those area in 1990, 1997, 2006 and the alteration and (3) to find out the factors which caused the alteration of the land cover. This study was conducted in January to July 2008 in Kasepuhan Citorek costumary forest area. The collected data consist of spatial data which contains maps, images, ground control point, and attribute data which contains rural data, land altered data and social perception. Spatial data were processedusing Geographic Information System and remote sensing. Meanwhile, the attribute data processed descriptively and then analyzed with qualitative method for identifying its impact on land cover change. Kasepuhan Citorek costumary forest (wewengkon) is bounded by mountain and hill surrounding. The wewengkon divided into three areas which are leuweng titipan, leuweng tutupan, and leuweng garapan. They cultivate the land according to their kasepuhan tradition with shifting cultivation system. During the 1990 to 2006, the number of population density increase. This will make the occurrence of land conversion because increasing land demand. Most of Citorek people (95.04%) work in agricultural area and they are low educated. The people knowledge about the boundaries, regulation and costumary forest classification is getting vanished. Their perception about the national park according to Likert scale is medium. The Citorek wewengkon is classified into nine landscape which are forest, mixed plantation, bushes, field, farm, open area, developed area, body of water and other land cover. The decrease of forest, field, and open area occur in 1990 to 2006. On the other hand, the increment occurs in farm, developed area and body of water. While, mixed plantation and bushes are being fluctuated in it quantity. Custom spatial regulation can be well-suited with the national park zonation by considering the traditional rule and field actual condition in each part of wewengkon. Not all of the Citorek people know about the boundaries, regulation, and classification of the costumary forest. During the 1990 to 2006, land cover change occur in each type of landscape. Factors contributed to land use change are social and economic change (population growth, education rate and occupation), farming tradition of kasepuhan people, and less people knowledge about the custom regulation, particularly in wewengkon classification. Land cover alteration can be controlled by social participation on national park management and continuity on monitoring programme.

Judul: Perubahan penutupan lahan dan analisis faktor penyebab perambahan kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai
Abstrak: Gunung Ciremai National Park (GCNP) is one of the conservation areas that has been facing forest land cover changes due to uncontrolled activities of people around the area. They have been practicing shifting cultivation system for horticulture that can lead to forest conversion and land cover changes especially fields in GCNP area. Data and information of the conditions in GCNP area can be analyzed through technology Geographic Information System (GIS). The aim of this research was to know rate of land cover and spatial distribution on land cover in GCNP for year periods of 2006-2009 and investigate socio-economic factors that influence expansion in GCNP. Data on sosial and ground control point were taken in GCNP for one month in July 2010. Collected data included spatial data in the form of maps, Landsat image ETM+ year 2006 and TM year 2009 and attributed data including socio-economic conditions, knowledge and attitude of people. Spatial data were analyzed using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. The results of image processing were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the attribute data to determine its impact on land cover changes. Land cover types in GCNP consisted of virgin forest, pine plant forest, shrubs, fields, water bodies, open land and no data. In the period 2006-2009, there were either increases or decreases in land cover areas. Land cover of open land was decreased by 979.2 ha (-2.26%) with the largest in Pasawahan Subdistrict, virgin forest by 51.21 ha (-0.01%) with the largest in Cigugur Subdistrict and water bodies by 1.62 ha (0.08%). On the other hand, land cover of fields was increased by 178.29 ha (0.18%) with the largest in Argapura Subdistrict, shrubs by 746.73 ha (0.18%) with the largest in Pasawahan Subdistrict and pine plant forest by 92.88 ha (0.06%) with the largest in Cilimus Subdistrict. Socioeconomic factors that influenced expansion of land cultivation into the park areas were rate of income in outside area, knowledge especially on cover function and attitude of people to the existing forest. To anticipate expansion of land cultivation into the forest area, the national park should create alternative beneficial projects in order to improve people income outside national park zone, rehabilitation of zone of natonal park and supervise the activities to people about national park.

Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
