Judul: Ecovillage-Based Agrotourism Landscape Planning in  Maribaya Hamlet Kalinusu Village Bumiayu District Brebes Regency
Abstrak: Lanskap perdesaan merupakan salah satu bagian dari kekayaan alam Indonesia. Perdesaan memberikan manfaat yang sangat besar, salah satunya adalah sebagai produsen utama hasil pertanian. Namun, kurangnya pemanfaatan potensi pertanian pada kawasan pedesaan membuat masyarakat kurang sejahtera. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengatasi hal tersebut salah satunya adalah dengan mengembangkan kawasan pertanian menjadi kawasan agrowisata. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Dukuh Maribaya Desa Kalinusu. Dukuh Maribaya merupakan salah satu wilayah yang memiliki keindahan lanskap perdesaan lengkap dengan lanskap pertaniannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi aspek fisik biofisik, sosial dan wisata, menganalisis setiap aspek secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif, dan merencanakan lanskap agrowisata berbasis ecovilage. Metode dalam penelitian ini meliputi tahap persiapan, inventarisasi, analisis, sintesis dan perencanaan lanskap. Hasil penelitian dalam bentuk rencana lanskap meliputi tata ruang, fasilitas, aktivitas, sirkulasi dan vegetasi., The rural landscape is one part of Indonesia's natural wealth. Rural areas provide enormous benefits, one of which is being the main producer of agricultural products. However However, the lack of utilization of agricultural potential in rural areas makes the community less prosperous. One of the efforts that can be done to overcome this is by developing agricultural areas into agro-tourism areas. One of the efforts that can be done to overcome this problem is to develop agricultural areas into agro-tourism areas. This research was conducted at Dukuh Maribaya, Kalinusu Village. Dukuh Maribaya is an area that has beautiful rural views complete with agricultural landscapes. The purpose of this study was to identify physical, biophysical, social and tourism aspects, analyze each aspect qualitatively and quantitatively, and plan an ecotourism-based agro-tourism landscape. The method in this study includes the stages of preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis and landscape planning. The results of the research are in the form of landscape planning including spatial planning, facilities, activities, circulation and vegetation.

Judul: Landscape Planning of Ecotourism in Malasari Village, Mount Halimun Salak National Park
Abstrak: Indonesia memiliki 53 taman nasional yang tersebar di seluruh penjuru negeri. Taman nasional dengan tingkat biodiversitas yang tinggi di Pulau Jawa yaitu Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak (TNGHS). Upaya pelestarian TNGHS dihadapkan pada beberapa masalah. Salah satu masalah yang sering terjadi adalah adanya konflik kepentingan antara masyarakat dengan pengelola taman nasional dikarenakan pelanggaran pemanfaatan lahan dan sumber daya. Konflik ini terjadi di beberapa desa, salah satunya adalah Desa Wisata Malasari yang memiliki potensi tinggi untuk dikembangkan sebagai kawasan ekowisata. Namun, kegiatan ekowisata belum memberikan keuntungan yang nyata bagi masyarakat lokal sehingga performa ekowisata Desa Malasari perlu ditingkatkan dengan perencanaan lanskap yang mengintegrasikan potensi desa yang disesuaikan dengan karakteristik lanskap desa dalam mempertahankan fungsinya sebagai wilayah konservasi taman nasional dan hutan lindung. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menyusun perencanaan lanskap kawasan ekowisata Desa Malasari, Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak. Perencanaan lanskap dilakukan dengan pendekatan bioregion dan Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS). Metode perencanaan lanskap didasari pada analisis karakteristik lanskap bioregion, potensi objek dan daya tarik ekowisata, spektrum peluang ekowisata, serta preferensi dan akseptibilitas masyarakat. Hasil penelitian berupa perencanaan lanskap ekowisata yang didasari lima prinsip ekowisata dengan menguntamakan kelestarian lingkungan serta memberi manfaat ekonomi bagi masyarakat. Perencanaan lanskap kawasan ekowisata Desa Malasari, Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak menghasilkan rencana ruang, rencana aktivitas dan fasilitas, rencana sirkulasi dan ekowisata, serta rencana vegetasi., Indonesia has a total of 53 national park around the country. One with the greatest biodiversity in Java is Mount Halimun Salak National Park. Throughout the conservation programs, the national park has faced with some problems, such as conflict of interest between communities and the park manager due to some villagers that has been utilizing park’s territory and resources. One of the village with such conflict is Malasari Tourism Village which has high potential to be developed into ecotourism district. However, these ecotourism activities have not provided tangible benefit for local communities so the ecotourism performance needs improvement by landscape planning integrating potentials with landscape characteristics of the village to maintain its function as a national park and protected forest. The purpose of this research is to arrange a landscape planning for the ecotourism area of Malasari Village, Mount Halimun Salak National Park. Landscape planning is carried out using the bioregion approach and Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) approach. The landscape planning method is based on the analysis of bioregion landscape characteristics, ecotourism objects and attractions, the spectrum of ecotourism opportunities, also the preferences and acceptability of the inhabitants and visitors. The research result is ecotourism landscape planning based on five ecotourism principles prioritizing in environmental sustainability and providing economic benefits to the community. The landscape planning of ecotourism in Malasari Village, Mount Halimun Salak National Park produces spatial plans, activity and facility plans, circulation and ecotourism plans, and vegetation plans.

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.
