Judul: Evaluation of Land Suitability for  Selected Land Utilization Types using  Geographic Information System Technology:  (Case Study in Bandung Basin West Java Indonesia)
Abstrak: This thesis aims to build a model of land suitability mapping of rural areas integrating land evaluation procedures with decision makers' preferences within a Geographic Information System (GIs) environment. Automated land evaluation system (ALES), Arc Info TM and the ArcView TM were used to build the land evaluation (LE) model. A strategy was adopted to integrate the land evaluation model within the GIS.

Judul: Development of a spatial decision support system for land use planning (Case study: Jawa Tengah Province, Indonesia)
Abstrak: Land resource is finite and scarce but its demand is increasing continuously in line with the changing of population growth, socio-economic and politic conditions. It leads to the dynamic land use changes which arise either accidentally or under control. Such the land use changes may impact the human's ecosystem, either desirable or undesirable. The problem is how to manage the land use change so as to maximize the desirable benefit and to minimize the undesirable impacts. In this case, land use planning is needed in the framework of sustainable development. The study area was Jawa Tengah Province whose complex problems in managing land resource and space. Land use planning is an important and a core element of Spatial Planning. Land use planning is an iterative and continuous process considering multi- criteria, multi-objectives, multi-temporal and multi-stakeholders. In that case, decision-making comes to be a complex and difficult task. Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) will be an important tool to provide data and information support of land use planning in such a way, so the decision-making will be easier, faster and reliable. In the process of developing SDSS, Geographic Information System, Spatial Database, spatial simulation modeling and interactive graphical user interface were combined and compiled in an integrated and stand alone new system package namely Spatial-based Land Use Planning Support System (SLUPS). SLUPS provides interactive scenarios to simulate land use planning and decision-making. SLUPS was designed and constructed by using Visual Basic 6.0, Map Object 2.2 ActiveX, Arc GIS 9.0, and Microsoft Access. This research was designed to present a conceptual design and a prototype of Spatial-based Land Use Planning Support System. Both objectives were addressed to solve the problems of spatial planning in Jawa Tengah Province, especially in the aspect of land use planning.

Judul: Penambahan α-Tocopherol sebagai Antioksidan dalam Pengencer Tris Kuning Telur Spermatozoa Kucing pada Suhu 4 ⁰C
Abstrak: Stres oksidatif pada sperma terjadi selama pengolahan semen dan berdampak pada kerusakan sperma. Antioksidan α-Tocopherol merupakan salah satu antioksidan yang termasuk ke dalam kelompok antioksigen. Antioksidan ini dapat mengurangi aksi radikal bebas dan menurunkan stress oksidatif pada sperma. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efektivitas penambahan α-tocopherol pada pengencer tris-kuning telur terhadap kualitas semen cair yang berasal dari kauda epididimis kucing. Kauda epipidimis kucing didapatkan dengan metode kastrasi. Kauda epididimis kemudian dipisah dan dicacah untuk mendapatkan spermatozoa kucing. Semen dengan motilitas >70% diencerkan pada kelompok pengencer tris kuning telur (TKT), tris kuning telur dengan α-tocopherol 0.1% (TKT+T-0.1%), tris kuning telur dengan α-tocopherol 0.2% (TKT+T-0.2%), dan tris kuning telur dengan α-tocopherol 0.3% (TKT+T-0.3%). Semen cair disimpan selama 4 hari (H0-H4) pada suhu 4 °C, kemudian dilakukan evaluasi kualitasnya (motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas dan membran plasma utuh sperma) setiap 24 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kualitas semen cair tidak berbeda signifikan pada H0 (P>0.05), tetapi penambahan α-tocopherol secara umum meningkatkan kualitas semen pada H4 pascapreservasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, kelompok pengencer TKT+T-0.1% adalah perlakuan terbaik.
