Judul: Analisis Daya Dukung dan Strategi Pengelolaan Kawasan Wisata Bandung Zoo di Era New Normal Covid-19
Abstrak: Kesejahteraan satwa dan keberlanjutan wisata di Bandung Zoo terancam semenjak pandemi Covid-19 yang ditandai dengan menurunnya kunjungan wisatawan dan pendapatan di Bandung Zoo. Selain itu, penerapan protokol kesehatan yang mengharuskan wisatawan menjaga jarak sejauh 1,5 meter dapat mengubah preferensi wisatawan terkait luasan area yang dibutuhkan untuk beraktivitas sehingga memengaruhi daya dukung kawasan wisata. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kunjungan wisata, (2) mengestimasi kapasitas daya dukung kawasan wisata, dan (3) merumuskan strategi pengelolaan wisata Bandung Zoo di era new normal Covid-19. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kunjungan di Bandung Zoo antara lain usia, tingkat pendidikan, dan pendapatan. Daya dukung fisik kawasan wisata Bandung Zoo sebelum pandemi Covid-19 berada pada kondisi over carrying capacity dan setelah pandemi Covid-19 berada pada kondisi under carrying capacity. Daya dukung fisik kawasan wisata Bandung Zoo sebelum pandemi Covid-19 adalah 1.237 orang/hari dan setelah pandemi Covid-19 (era new normal) adalah 887 orang/hari. Alternatif yang menjadi prioritas berdasarkan penilaian dari tiga pakar adalah pengelolaan kebersihan, kesehatan, keselamatan, dan kelestarian satwa dan kawasan wisata., The welfare and sustainability of tourism activities at Bandung Zoo has been threatened since the Covid-19 pandemic which marked by a decline in tourist visits and income at Bandung Zoo. Implementation of a health protocol that requires tourists to maintain 1,5 meter distance can change tourist preferences regarding the area required for activities, thereby affecting the carrying capacity of tourist areas. Based on this condition, this study aims to (1) analyze the factors that influence tourist visits, (2) estimate the carrying capacity of tourist areas, and (3) formulate a Bandung Zoo tourism management strategy in the new normal era of Covid-19. The results of the study show that the factors that influence visits to the Bandung Zoo include age, education level, and income. The physical carrying capacity of the Bandung Zoo tourist area before the pandemic was over carrying capacity and after the pandemic was under carrying capacity. The physical carrying capacity of the Bandung Zoo tourist area before the pandemic was 1.237 people/day and after the pandemic (new normal era) is 887 people/day. The priority alternative based on the assessment of three experts is the development of management of cleanliness, health, safety and preservation of animals and tourist areas.

Judul: Analysis of Perception and Carrying Capacity of Bogor  Botanical Gardens in the New Normal Era of COVID-19
Abstrak: Pemerintah Indonesia mengeluarkan kebijakan new normal demi menjaga keberlanjutan berbagai sektor, salah satunya sektor pariwisata. Pelonggaran kebijakan berdampak pada kenaikan jumlah wisatawan di Kebun Raya Bogor secara tiba-tiba. Hal tersebut memberikan potensi negatif terhadap kerusakan lingkungan dan kelestarian sumber daya alam di Kebun Raya Bogor. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah 1) Mengidentifikasi persepsi wisatawan terhadap kenyamanan berwisata ke Kebun Raya Bogor di era new normal COVID-19; 2) Mengestimasi kapasitas daya dukung Kawasan Kebun Raya Bogor; dan 3) Merumuskan strategi pengeloaan kawasan wisata Kebun Raya Bogor di era new normal COVID-19. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Kebun Raya Bogor mendapatkan rataan nilai sebesar 3,34 atau mendapatkan persepsi positif akan kenyamanan saat melakukan kegiatan wisata di Kebun Raya Bogor di era new normal. Pada perhitungan daya dukung wisata, Kebun Raya Bogor secara keseluruh tidak mengalami over carrying capacity Berdasarkan analisis QSPM, melakukan penyuluhan atau sosialisasi mengenai kesadaran dalam pelestarian lingkungan wisata merupakan strategi prioritas dalam pengelolaan Kebun Raya Bogor di era new normal., The Indonesian Government has implemented a new normal policy to ensure the sustainability of various sectors, including the tourism sector. The relaxation of this policy has led to a sudden increase in the number of tourists at Bogor Botanical Gardens. This poses a potential negative impact on environmental damage and the conservation of natural resources in Bogor Botanical Gardens. The objectives of this research are: 1) to identify tourists' perceptions of comfort while visiting Bogor Botanical Gardens in the new normal era of COVID-19; 2) to estimate the carrying capacity of the Bogor Botanical Gardens area; and 3) to formulate management strategies for Bogor Botanical Gardens in the new normal era of COVID-19. The research results show that Bogor Botanical Gardens received an average score of 3.34, indicating a positive perception of comfort when engaging in activities at the gardens during the new normal era. In terms of tourist carrying capacity calculations, Bogor Botanical Gardens as a whole does not exceed its carrying capacity. According to the QSPM analysis, providing education or raising awareness about environmental conservation in tourism is a priority strategy for managing Bogor Botanical Gardens in the new normal era.

Judul: Sintesis Glukosa Oleat dengan Berbantuan Gelombang Mikro
Abstrak: Carbohydrate-based esters of fatty acids are nonionic surfactants which are nontoxic, odorless, tasteless, and biodegradable. Glucose oleic acid is one of them. It can be synthesized by reacting glucose pentaacetate (GPA) and methyl oleate with conventional heating for 6 hours, which is slow and time-consuming. Therefore, organic synthesis has been developed by employing microwave irradiation, so called Microwave- Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS). This research synthesized glucose oleic acid, from GPA and methyl oleate using MAOS method, to reduce time of reaction and better yield. The parameters observed were melting point (for GPA), free fatty acid content (for methyl oleate), functional group analysis using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and percent of yield. Reaction between GPA and glucose oleic acid was transesterification, while those of methyl oleate was esterification. GPA and glucose oleic acid using MAOS gave faster time of reaction, 5-10 minutes. The results showed that GPA, methyl oleate, and glucose oleic acid were well synthesized, as shown by FTIR spectra. The yield of GPA was 68,52%, with melting point was 94–111 °C. Methyl oleate gave 95,69% yield. Free fatty acid content of methyl oleate was 2,23%. The yield of glucose oleic acid was 47,18%.
