Judul: Kontribusi Sektor Kehutanan Terhadap Ekonomi Kabupaten Tasikmalaya
Abstrak: Conventionally the role of forestry sector can be proxied by the contribution of that sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). 17% of the Tasikmalaya district areas are forest land. The result showed the contribution of forestry sector to regional gross domestic product ranged from 4.39% to 4.98%. The forestry sector is a basic sector as indicated by LQ value of 2.80 to 3.05 and has a multiplier effect value of 13.315 in 2012. The SWOT analysis showed the forestry sector should use its strengths to capture opportunities. In order of importance, policy that are needed : Collaborative and Community Forest Management (CBFM and CM), Ecotourism development (PE), Rehabilitation of critical lands, and Strengthening forest products industry.

Judul: Kontribusi Sektor Kehutanan terhadap Ekonomi Kabupaten Sukabumi
Abstrak: Conventionally, the role of forestry sector in the district of Sukabumi is indicated by its contribution to the Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). However, gross value added that generated from timber industry was not taken into account. This value was included into manufacturing sector. This situation undermined the role of the forestry sector. The objectives of this study are to calculate the contribution of the forestry sector to the RGDP of Sukabumi and to determine policy alternative priority that improve forest sector contribution. The results showed the contribution of forestry sector in the period 2000 to 2011 ranged from 2.40% to 5.36%. This forestry sector is a major sector as indicated by Location Quotient value ranging from 1.05 to 1.44. The multiplier effect values varied from 41.23 to 43.05. The forestry sector was strong and had capability to realize opportunities. Therefore, the chosen strategy should support an aggressive growth policy. Expanding of collaborative and community forest management is the highest priority, followed by developing ecotourism, strengthening timber industry and rehabilitating critical land.

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.
