Abstrak: Land cover in forested area has changed rapidly. Land conversion, illegal logging, land clearing and fire are few factors which caused forest decrease. Indigenous people in Kasepuhan Citorek, who lives in and around the forest, is a community with manners and customs prescription including human – nature relation particularly in forest management. But as population growth rapidly, the forest resources become degraded in those area and therefore needed an observation. Geographic Information System and remote sensing are kind of technology which can help that task. The aims of this study were (1) to examine the boundaries, land classification and management of Citorek customary forest based on society information, (2) to examine land cover in those area in 1990, 1997, 2006 and the alteration and (3) to find out the factors which caused the alteration of the land cover. This study was conducted in January to July 2008 in Kasepuhan Citorek costumary forest area. The collected data consist of spatial data which contains maps, images, ground control point, and attribute data which contains rural data, land altered data and social perception. Spatial data were processedusing Geographic Information System and remote sensing. Meanwhile, the attribute data processed descriptively and then analyzed with qualitative method for identifying its impact on land cover change. Kasepuhan Citorek costumary forest (wewengkon) is bounded by mountain and hill surrounding. The wewengkon divided into three areas which are leuweng titipan, leuweng tutupan, and leuweng garapan. They cultivate the land according to their kasepuhan tradition with shifting cultivation system. During the 1990 to 2006, the number of population density increase. This will make the occurrence of land conversion because increasing land demand. Most of Citorek people (95.04%) work in agricultural area and they are low educated. The people knowledge about the boundaries, regulation and costumary forest classification is getting vanished. Their perception about the national park according to Likert scale is medium. The Citorek wewengkon is classified into nine landscape which are forest, mixed plantation, bushes, field, farm, open area, developed area, body of water and other land cover. The decrease of forest, field, and open area occur in 1990 to 2006. On the other hand, the increment occurs in farm, developed area and body of water. While, mixed plantation and bushes are being fluctuated in it quantity. Custom spatial regulation can be well-suited with the national park zonation by considering the traditional rule and field actual condition in each part of wewengkon. Not all of the Citorek people know about the boundaries, regulation, and classification of the costumary forest. During the 1990 to 2006, land cover change occur in each type of landscape. Factors contributed to land use change are social and economic change (population growth, education rate and occupation), farming tradition of kasepuhan people, and less people knowledge about the custom regulation, particularly in wewengkon classification. Land cover alteration can be controlled by social participation on national park management and continuity on monitoring programme.

Judul: Analisis Perubahan Penutupan dan Pola Pemanfaatan Lahan di Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak Menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografi (SIG) (Studi Kasus: Kampung Adat Lebak Picung)
Abstrak: Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (GHSNP) is one of the conservation areas that have been facing forest cover changes rapidly. It’s related to people activities in and around the area. One of the communities which have been living at surround the GHSNP is indigenous peopleof Kampung Lebak Picung, Desa Hegarmanah, Kecamatan Cibeber, Kabupaten Lebak, Banten. They have been practicing shifting cultivation system. It is feared the system willm lead to forest conversion in GHSNP area. Data and information of the conditions in Kampung Lebak Picung area can be analyzed through technology Geographic Information System (GIS). The aim of this research is to study land cover changes in Kampung Lebak Picung, to investigate factors that influence land cover change, and review procedures of land management by the community at Kampung Lebak Picung Social data, and ground control point were taken in Kampung Lebak Picung for one month in June 2009. Collected data included spatial data in the form of maps, Landsat image TM and ETM + in 1989, 1997, 2007 and attribute data include sociocultural conditions, management and land use, and people perception. Spatial data were prossed by using Geographic Information System technology and Remote Sensing. The result of image processing were analyzed qualitatively using the attribute data to determine its impact on land cover changes. Land cover types in Kampung Lebak Picung consist of forest, mixed gardens, shrubs, fields, rice fields, water bodies, open land, built up land, and no data. In the period 1989-2007, rice fields land cover type were decrease. Meanwhile fields and water body land cover type were increase. In general, several types of land cover area fluctuated. Fluctuations occur on forest land cover, mixed gardens, shrubs, and open land types. In 1997, forest area were increase 20,47 ha but mixed garden and shrubs decrease of 41.93 ha and 3.27 ha. In 2007, forest land cover types decreased of 19.28 hectares but shrubs were increase 2,50 ha. Land cover changes were influenced by the increasing population and implementation of shifting cultivation system to arable land use (mixed garden and fields). Most of income source is farmers (91.67%) therefore usage of arable land (paddy fields, fields, and mix gardens) was very high. It’s feared, it will lead to forest conversion to arable land. In fact for this period of reseaerch arable land is sufficient to meet the needs of the community. Generally, people had high perception for the existence of forest, but people's knowledge of the forests and national parks are still quite low. Factor that influence land cover change are social condition, especially in land management systems. To anticipate expansion of cultivation land into forest area, the National park should alocate those activities in spesific area/zone.For that purpose the National Park should supervise the activities.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
