Judul: Kontribusi Sistem Tata Kelola Hutan Berbasis Masyarakat Terhadap Sosial Ekonomi Dan Persepsi Kelestarian Hutan Di Hulu DAS Ciliwung, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Sistem Tata Kelola Hutan Berbasis Masyakat atau Community based Forest Management (CFM) telah dilaksanakan hampir sepuluh tahun di hulu DAS Ciliwung tepatnya di Kampung Cibulao, Desa Tugu Utara, Kabupaten Bogor. Kegiatan tersebut melibatkan kelompok tani hutan dalam mengelola hutan melalui kegiatan budi daya kopi dengan sistem tumpang sari (agroforestry) dan pengelolaan jalur sepeda gunung. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) Menganalisis kelayakan usaha kegiatan-kegiatan CFM di Kampung Cibulao, Desa Tugu Utara; (2) Menganalisis konflik dan potensi konflik serta kerja sama yang dapat tercipta dalam CFM; (3) Menghitung kontribusi CFM terhadap peningkatan pendapatan rumah tangga masyarakat di Kampung Cibulao, Desa Tugu Utara; (4) Menganalisis faktor-faktor CFM yang berpengaruh pada pendapatan per kapita masyarakat; (5) Menganalisis persepsi masyarakat tentang pengaruh CFM terhadap kelestarian hutan di Kampung Cibulao, Desa Tugu Utara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa usaha CFM yaitu budi daya kopi dan pengelolaan jalur sepeda gunung, memiliki kelayakan finansial usaha dan prospek bisnis yang lebih baik dibandingkan usaha penggemukan sapi dan ternak domba. Usaha ini layak untuk terus dikembangkan terutama bagi masyarakat yang berpendapatan rendah seperti di Kampung Cibulao. Secara sosial, dalam pelaksanaan CFM, Perum Perhutani dan stakeholder inti perlu melibatkan dan bekerjasama dengan stakeholder potensial di luar stakeholder inti. Selain itu konflik internal dan konflik para pihak perlu dikelola dan ditangani dengan baik agar tujuan CFM dapat tercapai. Secara ekonomi, kegiatan CFM telah memberikan kontribusi rata-rata 2.69 persen per tahun terhadap total pendapatan rumah tangga di Kampung Cibulao. Namun, dalam pelaksanaannya masih terjadi ketimpangan distribusi pendapatan, ketimpangan penguasaan lahan kelola, perbedaan keterampilan dan motivasi dalam berusaha. Dari hasil analisis faktor-faktor CFM yang berpengaruh terhadap pendapatan per kapita masyarakat, di antara seluruh variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, terdapat variabel empat variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan pada pendapatan per kapita masyarakat yaitu pendapatan CFM (X1), pendidikan (X2), luas lahan CFM (X3), dan jumlah anggota keluarga (X4) secara parsial memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap total pendapatan per kapita (Y) di Kampung Cibulao. Dari analisis ini, variabel jumlah anggota keluarga (X4) memiliki pengaruh paling besar terhadap total pendapatan per kapita (Y) di Kampung Cibulao. Analisis persepsi anggota KTH yang terlibat CFM, menjelaskan bahwa berdasarkan penilaian persepsi anggota KTH, kegiatan CFM memberikan pengaruh pada kelestarian hutan di Kampung Cibulao.

Judul: Kontribusi Pengelolaan Hutan Rakyat Terhadap Pendapatan Rumah Tangga Petani dan Analisis Kelayakan Usaha Hutan Rakyat. (Studi di Desa Babakanreuma, Kecamatan Sindangagung, Kabupaten Kuningan, Propinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: According to Hardjanto (2000), income of community forest farmers in Java are still positioned as a by product and incidental. Range of income is not more than 10 % of total revenue and sought simply. It shows that the contribution of community forest have not become the foundation of households subsistence, so it is necessary to conduct a study about how is the contribution of community forests management to total household income and it’s feasibility, especially in the Village Babakanreuma, District Sindangagung, Kuningan Regency, West Java Province. The purpose of this study was to identify the system of community forests management and marketing, knowing the contributions community forests management to households total income as well as examine the linkage of effectiveness of community forests area to the households total income and to determine the feasibility of it’s businesses. Determination of the respondents conducted using stratified random sampling method in which the respondents were 36 people obtained from the slovin formula. This study uses a qualitative approach that conducted by survey method using questionnaire and supported by quantitative techniques. The results shows that the contribution of community forests management to the households income has been very visible, reinforced by the magnitude of the contribution value that become higher and increasing in strata. So that the farmers land area of community forest significantly affected their household income. From the data obtained, in 1st strata , the resulting contribution is Rp. 2,208,333.00 per year (7.79%), 2nd strata is Rp 3.800.000,00 per year (11.98%), and 3rd strata is Rp 5.500.000,00 per year (13.00%). Management of community forests is feasible to run on all three strata. These statements are based on the amount of NPV (Net Present Value) that is not negative, BCR (Benefit Cost Ratio) is greater than one and the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is greater than the prevailing rates. NPV values in strata I, II and III is Rp 6.378.880,00; Rp 14.134.803,00 and Rp 3.985.918.00. Community forests management systems at the sites are still modest. The harvesting is still based on needs and not according to the Sengon plant cycle which is the staple in this village. The timber marketing is only done by a contract system or the middleman (tengkulak) / buyer and furthermore become the responsibility of the middleman / buyer it self.

Judul: Pengujian Virus Newcastle Disease Gen VII Isolat Lapang Sebagai Virus Standar Pada Uji Tantang Vaksin
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the standard of Newcastle disease virus Gene VII field isolate as a virus challenge to vaccine test. A virus suspension that has previously been tested by HA test then titrated with EID50 using 30 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) of 10 day old chicken embryonated eggs. In addition, chicken lethal dose50 (CLD50) test were used to determine the virus titer that could cause 50% death of the chicken population. The CLD50 test was used 25 day-old-chickens (DOC) divided into 5 groups. The virus was diluted from 10-1 to 10-8. The 104 to 10-8 dilution of NDV was infected to every group of chicken via eyedrop and intranasal with 0.1 ml/chicken dosage. Haemagglutination test showed that the allantoic fluid were contain high titers of NDV is 512 HAU. The infective NDV that had been titrated by EID50 test showed the virus titers is 109 EID50/0.1 ml or 1010 EID50/ml and the virus titers of CLD50 test e.i 106.48 CLD50/0.1 ml or 107.48 CLD50/ml. These results can be concluded that the NDV Gene VII field isolates were most appropriate to be used as a standard virus to vaccine test
