Judul: Kontribusi Kegiatan Wisata Di Desa Blimbingsari terhadap Kelestarian Taman Nasional Bali Barat
Abstrak: Bali Barat National Park (BBNP) is located adjacent to several villages, which lead to the occurrences of natural resources used by the community. One of the village is Blimbingsari village. The community takes firewood and grasses from the forest, and conducts livestock herding in forest area. BBNP had developed tourism activites since 2010 to reduce the use of natural resources. Tourism can give provide change in relation to the aspects of tourism, job, income, and community interaction with the forest. This study was conducted from Mei until June 2013. The result showed that tourism activity in Blimbingsari village experienced development in the sense of its tourism attractions, programs, and management. People’s side changed 100% from forest encroachers to tourism sevices providers. Tourism provided side income for the people. People’s income from forest encroachment was higher than tourism income with Rp 89 466 difference, while the total income with tourism increased to Rp 223 659/month. Community interaction with BBNP area had changed from exploitation conservation.

Judul: Peran Wisata Satwaliar Terhadap Pengetahuan Pengunjung Mengenai Konservasi Satwa Di Taman Nasional Bali Barat
Abstrak: Wisata satwaliar dapat berperan dalam konservasi karena memberi kesempatan untuk kontak langsung dengan alam serta memiliki dampak positif terhadap pembelajaran pengunjung mengenai lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengukur peran wisata satwaliar terhadap pengetahuan pengunjung mengenai konservasi satwa di Taman Nasional Bali Barat (TNBB). Pengetahuan pengunjung dinilai berdasarkan hasil skor pertanyaan sebelum dan sesudah wisata, kemudian digolongkan menjadi beberapa kategori pengetahuan yaitu rendah, sedang, dan tinggi, serta dilakukan uji t berpasangan. TNBB memiliki wisata satwaliar jungle tracking, bird watching, dan safari dengan pengunjung yang berasal dari mancanegara. Setelah mengikuti wisata satwaliar di TNBB, skor pengetahuan pengunjung mengenai konservasi satwa meningkat sebesar 7%, dan hasil skor rata–rata meningkat dari 15.42 menjadi 17. Peningkatan pengetahuan ini terjadi karena pengunjung berinteraksi langsung dengan satwa dan didukung dengan peran pemandu wisata.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
