Beberapa peninggalan dari Kesultanan Siak di masa lalu telah terdaftar sebagai cagar budaya nasional. Saat ini, pemerintah daerah Siak secara intensif mengembangkan sektor pariwisata, khususnya untuk wisata sejarah dan budaya Kesultanan Siak. Namun, proses pembangunan ini belum optimal karena hanya terfokus pada objek peninggalan Kesultanan Siak yang telah terdaftar sebagai cagar budaya. Selain itu para wisatawan yang berkunjung ke Siak hanya menikmati obyek wisata, tanpa mengetahui keterkaitan sejarah antar masing- masing objek tersebut, sehingga dibutuhkan perencanaan jalur wisata sejarah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pemanfaatan lanskap sejarah di Siak Sri Indrapura; mengidentifikasi objek-objek wisata sejarah; menganalisis potensi daya tarik objek wisata sejarah; dan menyusun rencana lanskap jalur wisata sejarah Kesultanan Melayu Siak di Siak Sri Indrapura. Analisis yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini adalah analisis nilai signifikansi lanskap sejarah untuk menilai keaslian dan keunikan lanskap bersejarah, analisis spasial untuk mendapatkan lahan yang sesuai untuk kawasan wisata sejarah, dan analisis deskriptif untuk menilai aspek lainnya yang terkait dengan sejarah Kesultanan Siak. Sebagian dari kawasan lanskap sejarah peninggalan Kesultanan Siak Sri Indrapura telah menjadi kawasan wisata, dan terdapat 27 objek atau situs sejarah yang terkait dengan Kesultanan Siak. Berdasarkan hasil analisis ini diketahui bahwa seluruh situs tersebut dan Kota Siak Sri Indrapura memiliki kesesuaian untuk dikembangkan menjadi kawasan wisata sejarah. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah peta jalur wisata sejarah dan tabel estimasi aktivitas wisata sejarah

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
