Judul: Landscape Planning of Balla Tumuka' Tourism Village Based on Local Culture in Mamasa Regency
Abstrak: Desa Balla Tumuka’ merupakan salah satu perkampungan adat di Kabupaten Mamasa yang miliki kekhasan karakter lanskap dan budaya lokal. Sebagai desa wisata, desa ini menawarkan beberapa atraksi wisata, di antaranya keunikan arsitektur rumah adat, tarian tradisional, permainan tradisional, upacara adat, dan pemandangan alam. Namun, saat ini belum terdapat perencanaan lanskap desa yang optimal terhadap objek dan atraksi wisata tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun rencana lanskap Desa Wisata Balla Tumuka' dengan berbasis pada budaya lokal. Tahapan penelitian yang digunakan yakni persiapan, inventarisasi, analisis, sintesis, konsep perencanaan, dan perencanaan lanskap. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis kerentanan fisik kawasan, analisis objek dan daya tarik wisata, dan analisis signifikansi budaya. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, lanskap desa dibagi menjadi tiga zona, yakni zona inti yang merupakan pusat kegiatan wisata, zona penyangga, dan zona konservasi. Perencanaan lanskap memunculkan sarana dan prasarana (fasilitas) penunjang, seperti homestay rumah adat, loket, pusat informasi, dan akses menuju objek wisata. Selain itu, juga direncanakan aktivitas dan rencana perjalanan wisata dengan beragam durasi, serta penanaman vegetasi yang sesuai dengan budaya lokal dan kebutuhan masyarakat., Balla Tumuka' Village is one of the traditional villages in Mamasa Regency that has a unique landscape character and local culture. As a tourism village, the village offers several tourist attractions, including the unique architecture of traditional houses, traditional dances, traditional games, traditional ceremonies, and natural scenery. However, there is no optimal village landscape planning for these tourism objects and attractions. This research aims to develop a landscape plan for Balla Tumuka' Tourism Village based on local culture. The research stages used are preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, planning concept, and landscape planning. This research uses physical vulnerability analysis of the area, object and tourist attraction analysis, and cultural significance analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, the village landscape is divided into three zones, namely the core zone which is the center of tourist activities, the buffer zone, and the conservation zone. Landscape planning brings up supporting facilities and infrastructure, such as traditional house homestays, ticket counter, information center, and access to tourist objects. In addition, tourist activities and itineraries with various durations are also planned, as well as vegetation planting in accordance with local culture and community needs.

Judul: Perencanaan lanskap kawasan wisata budaya kampung batik laweyan, Surakarta
Abstrak: Indonesia is a country with high diversity of cultures. They reflect the history, development, and civilization of Indonesia as a great nation. One of the cultural heritage which has been officially recognized by UNESCO is Batik. Laweyan Batik Kampong is a historical area and has been a centre of batik industry since eighteenth century and it has formed an unique cultural landscape. Developing this area into a cultural tourism landscape with appropriate landscape planning, will encourage the sustainability of culture-socio life in local batik community, the preservation of physical and cultural landscape, and the security of local economy. This study aims to develop Laweyan Batik Kampong into a cultural tourism landscape by analyzing physical and community aspects. Descriptive quantitative method was used to analyze the data both statistically and spatially. Physical aspect was analyzed to obtain the cultural tourism development potential which has three assessment aspects namely cultural quality of region ( the criteria for assessment was adopted from ICOMOS 1999, The Burra Charter) , suitability of region ( the criteria for assessment was adopted from director general for tourism product development, 2000), and quality of visual-aesthetic of environment (the criteria was adopted from Nasar (1998), Burra Charter (1999), and Carmona (2006)). Local community aspect was analyzed to recognize the community acceptability (criteria for assessment was adopted from Koentjaraningrat in Yusiana, 2007). Study result shows that Laweyan Batik Kampong has opportunity to be developed into a cultural tourism landscape. This potential could be developed based on potential development zone generated from the analysis. There are two development zones namely tourism centre zone and tourism supporting zone. The centre zone will accommodate all facilities which will be used to cater cultural tourism activity, such as edu-tourism (batik tourism), and culture tourism (cultural, architectural, and historical tourism). The tourism supporting zone will accommodate the facility which supports cultural tourism such as entrance, visitor centre, and other supporting facilities. Landscape plan is derived from developing the two zones by accommodating the cultural interpretative tourism concept, tourism activity and facility development. Local government must support the development of Laweyan Batik Kampong by establishing the legal aspect to protect the heritage and socializing it to the people. I strongly recommend local government to apply the landscape planning I have created in Laweyan Batik Kampong to create a sustainable cultural tourism that consider local community, local economy, socio-culture, and environment.

Judul: Pembuatan Isoeugenol dari Eugenol Menggunakan Pemanasan Gelombang Mikro
Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan salah satu penghasil minyak cengkeh terbesar di dunia. Pasokan minyak cengkeh Indonesia ke pasar dunia mencapai 60% kebutuhan dunia. Pada tahun 2000, dari 2,080 ton minyak cengkeh yang dipasarkan, Indonesia memasok 1,317 ton (Deptan, 2005). Di negara-negara industri seperti Amerika Serikat, Perancis, Jerman, Italia, dan Inggris, minyak cengkeh digunakan sebagai bahan baku untuk membuat isolat eugenol dan derivatnya seperti isoeugenol dengan nilai tambah yang lebih tinggi. Harga eugenol sebesar Rp 75 000/kg, harga isoeugenol sebesar Rp 95 000/kg (Indesso, 2006) sedangkan harga minyak daun cengkeh Indonesia di pasar Internasional sekitar Rp 25 000/kg (Deptan, 2005). Isoeugenol merupakan senyawa yang banyak digunakan sebagai campuran dalam fragrances dan dalam produk-produk konsumsi harian seperti parfum, produk perawatan kulit, deodoran, sabun, shampo, deterjen serta sebagai bahan intermediet dalam produksi vanilin sintetik. Isoeugenol dihasilkan dari reaksi isomerisasi eugenol. Reaksi isomerisasi eugenol umumnya dilakukan dengan cara mereaksikan eugenol dalam larutan basa KOH atau NaOH pada suhu tinggi selama 5 – 7 jam (Cerveny et al., 1987). Lamanya waktu pemanasan konvensional ini diduga dapat dipersingkat dengan menggunakan pemanasan gelombang mikro. Aplikasi katalis basa yang membutuhkan jumlah yang berlebih dalam reaksi isomerisasi juga dapat digantikan dengan menggunakan katalis RhCl3.3H2O dalam jumlah yang lebih rendah (Chalk, 1977).
