Judul: Ecological and Psychological Carrying Capacity of Tourism in Themepark, Case Study: Taman Wisata Matahari, Cisarua Bogor.
Abstrak: The research aims to analyze the maximum number of tourists who can be accepted by Taman Wisata Matahari (TWM) site without creating environmental changes that cannot be accepted and/or without reducing the quality of tourist experience. Cifuentes methods used in analyzing the ecological carrying capacity, while the results of Importance-Performance Analysis and Customer Satisfaction Index Analysis used to elaborate the ecological carrying capacity with the tourist psychological carrying capacity. The intensity of use gives a different effect on several ecological factors of the site. The significant differences indicated by variable of water content of soil, penetration of soil and quality of plants (density, texture, length and productivity). The density of sites affects the tourist satisfaction significantly only in the low visits, but does not apply to the tourist satisfaction in the condensed and peak visit. Nonetheless, the CSI value of all visit types was still in the range between somewhat satisfied to satisfied. Each tourist only uses space about 1.08 m2 /tourist on the block A1 (ground recreation). They only need narrow space because they dominantly come with family and motivated to do social interaction. Both reasons are allegedly caused high levels of tolerance in accepting the presence of other tourists. In block A2 (water recreation) and A3 (artificial exploring recreation), each area can accommodate about 4 756 and 986 tourist/day. Based on the tourists’ space needed on the block A1 and the quota of block A2 and A3, the value of the physical carrying capacity of TWM are 129 904 tourist/day. Ecological carrying capacity of TWM is obtained after reduced by correction factor of soil (26.75%), correction factor of steam flow (1.04%), and correction factor of grass (7.56%), so the value are 87 043 tourist/day. Ecological carrying capacity was not exceeded the carrying capacity of tourist psychology when considering the value of CSI in each period of visit type is still in the range of somewhat satisfied.

Judul: Analisis Finansial dan Ekonomi Pengembangan Taman Wisata Alam Telaga Warna Sesuai Daya Dukung Kawasan
Abstrak: Nature Tourism Park (TWA) of Telaga Warna is one of the conservation areas which has the potential for development in terms of visitors and beauty. To achieve optimal development potential and overcome limited funds in the area management, on the basis of goverment regulation year 1984 on the exploitation of nature tourism, in 2003 the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) was patnered with PT LDK to develop the area of TWA Telaga Warna. The development of TWA Telaga Warna provides positive impact in the increased number of visitors, but on the other hand, an uncontrollable increase in the number of visitors is feared to trigger a decline in the resource quality. The development of Telaga Warna requires a study of area carrying capacity so that do not exceed the carrying capacity. Moreover, an economic analysis is required to measure the positive and negative impacts during the tourism are development, especially for the surrounding ecosystem. The study results show that the condition of TWA Telaga Warna is still far below the area carrying capacity threshold. While the result of economic feasibility of TWA Telaga Warna development is economically feasible, meaning that development of the area provides does not endanger the sustainability of natural resources and many benefits for provides, society and ecosystems.

Judul: Sintesis kompleks salen Cu/Ni sebagai katalis oksidasi gliserol
Abstrak: Biodiesel sebagai salah satu alternatif pengganti minyak bumi telah menghasilkan produk samping berupa gliserol kasar. Salah satu cara pemanfaatan adalah dengan mengoksidasinya menjadi dihidroksiaseton menggunakan kompleks senyawa salen yang telah dihidrogenasi dengan logam atom pusat Cu dan Ni. Katalis yang dihasilkan dicirikan menggunakan spektrofotometer inframerah transformasi Fourier dan spektrofotometer serapan atom. Kinerja kedua katalis dalam mengoksidasi gliserol telah dibandingkan dengan baik dalam penelitian ini. Oksidasi gliserol dilakukan dengan tambahan katalis sebanyak 5 mol% gliserol dalam campuran gliserol-asetonitril. Reaksi dilakukan dengan melewatkan gas oksigen selama 4 jam pada suhu ruang dalam campuran tersebut. Hasil oksidasi dianalisis menggunakan kromatografi cair kinerja tinggi. Puncak kromatogram dari hasil oksidasi yang muncul setelah menit ke-9 menunjukkan terjadinya perubahan gliserol. Produk oksidasi gliserol diduga memiliki gugus fungsi keton karena nilai Rf-nya lebih besar daripada gliserol, yang menandakan senyawa tersebut lebih nonpolar daripada gliserol. Kromatogram yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas katalis Cu(salen) mengoksidasi gliserol lebih baik ditinjau dari rendemen produk yang dihasilkan dibandingkan dengan Ni(salen). Oksidasi baik dengan Cu(salen) maupun Ni(salen) menghasilkan satu produk oksidasi.
