Judul: Pengembangan Wisata Alam di Kawasan Strategis Pariwisata Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Tasikmalaya Regency is a strategic area, are among the popular tourist destinations and frequently visited by domestic and foreign tourist, such as Pangandaran, Garut and Bandung. It is an opportunity for development the natural tourism attraction of Tasikmalaya Regency. The research was carried out in the strategic area of tourism Tasikmalaya Regency during August until September 2012. The tools and materials used, such as stationery, digital cameras, GPS, ArcGis 9.3, Microsoft Office 2007, questionnaire, interview guidelines and analysis of the operating guidelines and objects of natural tourist attraction (ADO-ODTWA) General Directorate of PHKA 2003. The development of tourism based on the assessment ADO-ODTWA, analysis of the visitors wishes and expectations; the readiness to receive visits and thecommunity wishes and expectations; stakeholeder analysis and the strategic plan of natural tourism management. Based on the result of ADO-ODTWA assesment, the depelopment criteria of Galunggung (3325) and Karaha Bodas (2963) are very potential. Sindangkerta Beach (2885), Pamayangsari Beach (1777), Karangtawulan (2750) and Cipatujah Beach (2740) are potential. The visitors wishes and expectations are the repair, maintenance, and the provision of supporting facilities, accessibility, variety of activities, management of services, and management of visitors. The community less welcomed with the tourist visits and the tourism development especially Karah Bodas community (disagree). Wishes and expectations of the community such as increasing well-being, getting the socialization about tourism periodically to change community perception who are not ready, becoming open minded to receive visits. Demonstrated in the implementation of tourist destination, the depelopment organize the consept of religion tourism, appropriate to attitude and culture of the community. The development plan for tourism management are the development of potential tourism, human resources, along protection and resources coservation. The development of natural tourism, such as: (1) the development of a natural tourist attraction destinations by keeping the authenticity and sustainability areas, restrictions on the utilization block appropriate of envinronment resources support, making the evacuation and relocation of areas prone to natural disasters; (2) the development of activities and natural attractions differentiated based on the potencial natural tourism attraction that owned by each objects; (3) the development of facilities are development of interpretation feature and tourism map, information center, homestay, and strengthening of building and infrastructure; (4) accessibility of infrastructure development, a means of transportation, signpost direction, and the promote and information about tourism; (5) the development of human resources should be increases among others, in form of training to improve the ability of service, to be a good host, presenting various form of tourist attraction, foods, and souvenir, and natural disaster response; (6) the development of tourism through a good tourism management, prepared from the regoinal level combine with each tourism location, and build a partnership; (7) the development of tourism marketing and promotion trough electronic media (intenet, website, radio and TV) and print media (leaflet, booklet,and tourism map) periodically held a renewal according to developed by tour packages, and follow and create events that introduce attractions of nature tourism and local culture.

Judul: Analisis Potensi Obyek Wisata dan Keterpaduannya dalam Pengembangan Kawasan Wisata Pangandaran, Kabupaten Pangandaran, Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Pangandaran has a lot of undiscovered tourist destination. Encouragement to develop Pangandaran as tourism regency appears. Tourism is then prioritized at the long-term, medium-term, and short-term. The purpose of this research was (1) To learn some objects or areas of the existing tourist destinations, (2) To identify to potential regions that potential to be developed as new tourist destination, (3) To know factors affecting the interest of visiting tourists in the tourist area of Pangandaran, and ( 4 ) To compile direction of plans and development strategy of the tourist area of Pangandaran integrally. We utilitized the scoring to find out the existing attractions areas to be developed, binary logistic regression analysis to obtain the factors affecting the interest of tourists, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the analytical of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threaths (SWOT) to generate a tourist area development plan of Pangandaran. Existing tourist attractions are Pangandaran beach with a score of 600, Green Canyon with a score of 344, Batu Karas with a score of 50, Cagar Alam with a score of 30 and Batu Hiu with a score of 25. While the tourism potential to be developed are Citumang is ranked first with a score of 688, Karapyak ranked second with a score of 552, Madasari ranked third with a score of 192. Then Karang Nini was ranked fourth with a score of 184, Lembah Putri ranked fifth with a score of 48, Keusik Luhur ranked sixth with a score of 16, Palatar Agung and Karang Tirta ranked seventh and eighth with a score of 0. Factors affect ing the interest of tourists to visit are preliminary information about tourist attractions, tour guides, hotels, type of tourist destination, and availability of rest area. Integrated and strategies for the development of the tourist area of Pangandaran, are: (1) hold the acceleration of transportation network and repair roads especially national roads, provincial roads, and a connecting entrance to the tourist area; (2) capacity improvement and quality service at the top seed tourist area.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
