Judul: Evaluation of Situ Gede Tourism Landscape  Management, Tasikmalaya City
Abstrak: Tasikmalaya memiliki posisi strategis untuk area pariwisata. Salah satu destinasi wisata alam di Kota Tasikmalaya adalah area pariwisata Situ Gede. Selain sebagai tempat wisata, Situ Gede memiliki fungsi penting lainnya seperti reservoir air, sumber daya perikanan serta sumber daya air. Namun, Situ Gede Tasikmalaya mengalami penurunan kualitas serta fungsi, sehingga memerlukan evaluasi pengelolaan. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menilai kualitas lingkungan Situ, menilai kelayakan objek dan daya tarik wisata Situ Gede, mengevaluasi pengelolaan lanskap wisata Situ Gede serta menyusun rekomendasi pengelolaan sebagai upaya pengembangan dan pelestarian lanskap wisata Situ Gede. Metode penelitian ini terdiri dari: (1) analisis kondisi lingkungan situ; (2) analisis kelayakan objek dan daya tarik wisata; (3) analisis preferensi dan persepsi terhadap objek wisata dan pengelolaan lanskap wisata (4) analisis kesenjangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas lingkungan Situ Gede dalam kondisi terganggu. Kesesuaian dan kelayakan objek dan daya tarik wisata Situ Gede termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Selain itu, berbagai kegiatan pengelolaan lanskap wisata Situ Gede telah dilaksanakan oleh pengelola, namun beberapa aspek perlu ditingkatkan seperti fasilitas dan pemeliharaan. Rekomendasi pengelolaan berfokus pada empat program yaitu perbaikan dan penambahan fasilitas, revitalisasi situ, peningkatan partisipasi pengelolaan lanskap wisata serta pengadaan program atau aktivitas wisata., Tasikmalaya is a strategically positioned city for tourism. Among its natural tourist destinations, Situ Gede stands out. As a tourist spot, it also fulfills important environmental functions such as water reservoir, fisheries resources, and water resources. Lately, Situ Gede has been facing quality and function decreases, thus requiring management evaluation. This research aims to assess the environmental quality of the site, assess the suitability and feasibility of tourism objects and attractions, evaluate the tourism landscape management, and compose managerial recommendations for the development of the site. The methods include an analysis of the environmental conditions, a suitability and feasibility assessment of tourism objects and attractions, an assessment of preferences and perceptions toward tourism objects and tourism landscape management, and a gap analysis. The study shows that the environmental quality of the Situ Gede is in a disturbed condition. The suitability and feasibility of Situ Gede tourism objects and attractions fall into the moderate category. Although various tourism landscape management activities have been attained by the site manager, facilities and maintenance aspects need to be improved. Management recommendations focus on four programs, improving and adding facilities, revitalizing Situ Gede, improving participation in tourism landscape management, and providing tourism programs or activities.

Judul: Pengembangan Wisata Alam di Kawasan Strategis Pariwisata Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Tasikmalaya Regency is a strategic area, are among the popular tourist destinations and frequently visited by domestic and foreign tourist, such as Pangandaran, Garut and Bandung. It is an opportunity for development the natural tourism attraction of Tasikmalaya Regency. The research was carried out in the strategic area of tourism Tasikmalaya Regency during August until September 2012. The tools and materials used, such as stationery, digital cameras, GPS, ArcGis 9.3, Microsoft Office 2007, questionnaire, interview guidelines and analysis of the operating guidelines and objects of natural tourist attraction (ADO-ODTWA) General Directorate of PHKA 2003. The development of tourism based on the assessment ADO-ODTWA, analysis of the visitors wishes and expectations; the readiness to receive visits and thecommunity wishes and expectations; stakeholeder analysis and the strategic plan of natural tourism management. Based on the result of ADO-ODTWA assesment, the depelopment criteria of Galunggung (3325) and Karaha Bodas (2963) are very potential. Sindangkerta Beach (2885), Pamayangsari Beach (1777), Karangtawulan (2750) and Cipatujah Beach (2740) are potential. The visitors wishes and expectations are the repair, maintenance, and the provision of supporting facilities, accessibility, variety of activities, management of services, and management of visitors. The community less welcomed with the tourist visits and the tourism development especially Karah Bodas community (disagree). Wishes and expectations of the community such as increasing well-being, getting the socialization about tourism periodically to change community perception who are not ready, becoming open minded to receive visits. Demonstrated in the implementation of tourist destination, the depelopment organize the consept of religion tourism, appropriate to attitude and culture of the community. The development plan for tourism management are the development of potential tourism, human resources, along protection and resources coservation. The development of natural tourism, such as: (1) the development of a natural tourist attraction destinations by keeping the authenticity and sustainability areas, restrictions on the utilization block appropriate of envinronment resources support, making the evacuation and relocation of areas prone to natural disasters; (2) the development of activities and natural attractions differentiated based on the potencial natural tourism attraction that owned by each objects; (3) the development of facilities are development of interpretation feature and tourism map, information center, homestay, and strengthening of building and infrastructure; (4) accessibility of infrastructure development, a means of transportation, signpost direction, and the promote and information about tourism; (5) the development of human resources should be increases among others, in form of training to improve the ability of service, to be a good host, presenting various form of tourist attraction, foods, and souvenir, and natural disaster response; (6) the development of tourism through a good tourism management, prepared from the regoinal level combine with each tourism location, and build a partnership; (7) the development of tourism marketing and promotion trough electronic media (intenet, website, radio and TV) and print media (leaflet, booklet,and tourism map) periodically held a renewal according to developed by tour packages, and follow and create events that introduce attractions of nature tourism and local culture.

Judul: Mathematical model of Hematopoietic Stem Cell in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia with and without Therapy
Abstrak: Leukemia or blood cancer is a diverse group of neoplastic disease, characterized by the multiplication of abnormal leukocytes or malignant transformation of blood-forming cells in bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. One of the most common types of leukemia is Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), which is usually diagnosed by the presence of certain chromosomal abnormalities, the so-called Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). One of the treatments of CML is Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). In this paper, we discuss two Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) models, i.e. HSC without treatment and HSC with G-CSF treatment. The model of HSC without treatment included three equations representing the dynamics of HSC, leukocyte and platelet. Whereas, the model of HSC with G-CSF treatment includes the previous three equations and adds two more equations representing G-CSF injection and G-CSF circulation. The stability behavior of the system approaching the equilibrium points in the simulation study is carried out using Mathematica 7.0. The simulation results show that the G-CSF treatment can successfully decrease the number of HSC, which means reducing the CML.
