Judul: Strategi belanja publik untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat
Abstrak: Sejak diberlakukannya paket undang -undang otonomi daerah (UU No. 32 dan 33 tahun 2004), maka paradigma penyelenggaraan pemerintahan mengalami pergeseran. Semula bersifat sentralistik berubah menjadi desentralistik. Implikasinya terhadap pemerintah daerah adalah bahwa pemerintah daerah diberikan kewenangan yang lebih besar untuk mengatur dan mengurus daerahnya sendiri termasuk dalam hal pengelolaan keuangan daerah. Otonomi daerah dilihat dari segi anggaran mengakibatkan peningkatan pendapatan daerah. Peningkatan pendapatan daerah berarti juga meningkatkan anggaran belanja daerah. Peningkatan belanja daerah akan meningkatkan pembangunan prasarana dan sarana ekonomi di daerah yang selanjutnya akan menciptakan berbagai lapangan kerja bagi masyarakat yang akhirnya akan meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat daerah tersebut. Peningkatan anggaran APBD semestinya diikuti oleh peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat yang dicerminkan lewat pendapatan per kapita per tahun dan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM). Untuk mengetahui pengaruh APBD terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis ekonometrika (regresi linier). Untuk penyusunan strategi/rancangan program, metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis situasi (SWOT). Hasil kajian strategi alokasi belanja publik untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa Belanja aparatur dan belanja publik (APBD) berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap PDRB per kapita, Penerapan otonomi daerah yang dimulai sejak tahun 2001 mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap PDRB per kapita, tetapi pengaruh tersebut bersifat negatif, Pemekaran wilayah Kota Bekasi dari Kabupaten Bekasi yang terjadi pada tahun 1997 mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap PDRB per kapita, Rasio alokasi belanja aparatur dan belanja publik terhadap APBD periode 1983-2005 masing-masing 49,33% dan 50,67%. Pada periode 1977-2005 (sejak terbentuk Kota Bekasi tahun 1997 sampai tahun 2005), rasio alokasi belanja aparatur dan belanja publik terhadap APBD masing-masing 52,56% dan 47,44%. Belanja aparatur dan belanja publik (APBD) berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap IPM. Rancangan program untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui alokasi belanja publik yang dapat direkomendasikan bagi Pemerintah Kota Bekasi adalah Program replikasi PPK-IPM (Program Pendanaan Kompetisi IPM) dan Internalisasi Permendagri Nomor 13 tahun 2006. iv © Hak cipta milik Cardiman, tahun 2006 Hak cipta dilindungi Dilarang mengutip dan memperbanyak tanpa izin tertulis dari Institut Pertanian Bogor, sebagian atau seluruhnya dalam Bentuk apa pun, baik cetak, fotocopi, mikrofilm, dan sebagainya

Judul: Strategi Penyelarasan Penyusunan APBD Dengan RPJMD Untuk Meningkatkan Pembangunan Sarana dan Prasarana di Kota Bekasi
Abstrak: Bekasi City is a part of PKN Jabodetabekpunjur region that has economic and population growth rate quite rapidly, so that the necessary support facilities and sufficient for the life of city residents and business growth. This is what became one of RPJMD mission, Bekasi 2008-2013. The Evaluation of APBD 2008 - 2010 document was conducted for program performances and policies in support of achieving its mission. The step of budget planning is the role strategic in managing local budgets, so the evaluation in this study represents an important effort to the budget process can result APBD documents that have bearing capacity of (relevant, efficient and effective) in achieving RPJMD target. The research was conducted through several methods: 1) Analysis of quality targets RPJMD program of Bekasi city from 2008 to 2013 by using the SMART criteria; 2) Analysis of the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness estimates programs and activities in APBD 2008-2010; 3) Identify some factors that influence the unconformity; 4) Formulating criteria and strategy alternatives with strategy weight assessment through AHP method; 5) Final formulation the alignment strategy through program planning and recommended activities. The result of this research has shown some disharmony in planning both activities and programs APBD 2008-2010 with target indicator RPJMD 2008- 2013, from 18 programs in the evaluation there are 11 programs significantly less value than the assessment standard. This deviation / disharmony covers: a) The quality of RPJMD objectives are undefined so SKPD difficult to apply it; b) Determination of irrelevant program activities in APBD, so it has low value of efficiency and effectiveness; c) Lack of designing program in RPJMD and APBD so it has no bearing capacity on attainment of policy and mission. Some factors has identified as main causes of disharmony are: 1) Technology and the system in Implementation of Planning Projects ; 2) Endorsement for Regional Planning Officers; 3) Leadership in accelerate the achievement of targets/objectives ; 4) Human Resources (Staff planners) in SKPD; 5) Organization Structure and SKPD Planning Team; 6) Planning and Budgeting preparation. The strategy of alignment APBD planning with RPJMD to improve facilities and infrastructure development in Bekasi city has formulated as follows: 1) Performance improvement TAPD; 2) Performance Improvement with ISO Planning; 3) Increasing Participation in Musrenbang; 4) Communication and Commitment to Achieving Target/Goals; 5) Apparatus Training and Application of functional Planner Position; 6) Implementing Incentive Regulation and disincentives; 7) Completion of the Draft Program .

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
