Based on tourism supply approach, there is Jungle Exploration concept that made for all visitors from children to adult. Based on tourism demand approach, there are coach tour concept and self-guiding tour concept. For Coach Tour concept, the tour guide are needed to interpretate tourism resources on this area. On the other hand, Self-Guiding Tour concept offer interpretation board and information center for tourist. Based on policy approach, there is Environmental Learning Center concept for student who wants to learn about forest and environment. The last concept is the best concept that could be applied in Arboretum of PT. Arara Abadi because of emphasizing the value of conservation areas and provide benefits to visitors.

Judul: Konsep pengembangan lanskap berbasis ekowisata di Taman Wisata Alam Lembah Harau, Sumatera Barat
Abstrak: Lembah Harau memiliki keanekaragaman flora, fauna, dan bentangan alam yang unik. Lembah Harau telah dikembangkan menjadi tempat wisata massal oleh pemerintah daerah setempat. Ekowisata dapat menjadi alternatif wisata sesuai dengan potensi yang dimiliki Lembah Harau. Dalam ekowisata terdapat prinsip berbasis masyarakat (community-based tourism) sehingga masyarakat dapat terlibat langsung dalam pengembangan kawasan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi potensi dan kendala lanskap Lembah Harau dan menyusun konsep pengembangan lanskap berbasis ekowisata di kawasan Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Lembah Harau. Penelitian dilakukan di kawasan TWA Lembah Harau, Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, Sumatera Barat. TWA Lembah Harau memiliki dua kawasan utama, yaitu kawasan Aka Barayun dan Sarasah Bunta. Penelitian dimulai dari Maret 2010 hingga Januari 2011. Analisis yang dilakukan meliputi penilaian potensi dan kendala yang terdiri dari penilaian objek dan daya tarik wisata, penilaian kesiapan pengembangan community-based ecotourism, dan penilaian kesiapan masyarakat dalam pengembangan ekowisata. Selanjutnya menggunakan analisis SWOT (strength-weakness-opportunity-threat) untuk menentukan strategi pengembangan wilayah tersebut. Berdasarkan analisis penilaian, TWA Lembah Harau memiliki kategori baik dari penilaian objek dan daya tarik wisata, kategori sedang dari penilaian kesiapan pengembangan community-based ecotourism, dan kategori sedang dari penilaian kesiapan masyarakat dalam pengembangan ekowisata. Potensi TWA Lembah Harau dari hasil penilaian adalah keunikan objek wisata dan tingginya keinginan masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi. Aspek pengelolaan dan sosial budaya menjadi kendala utama. Kendala aspek pengelolaan adalah belum adanya partisipasi masyarakat dan belum adanya kerja sama antara Pemda dan BKSDA selaku pengelola kawasan. Kendala aspek sosial budaya adalah rendahnya tingkat pendidikan masyarakat sehingga belum memahami tentang konservasi.

Judul: Pemanasan sekunder plasma menggunakan gelombang mikro untuk reaksi fusi terkontrol
Abstrak: elah diteliti pengaruh pemanasan sekunder pada plasma dengan menggunakan gelombang mikro, yang dijalarkan tegak lurus dengan medan magnetik toroidal dalam tokamak. Didapat nilai numerik daya P =ψψm ≈ 1,305×10-15 W/m3 yang diserap oleh elektron per volume terhadap pemanasan sekunder menggunakan gelombang mikro yang penjalarannya tegak lurus dengan arah medan magnetik toroidal. Nilai yang kecil menunjukkan nilai rerata terhadap banyaknya partikel dalam plasma. Adapun diperolehnya nilai radius rm ≈ 1m yang mendapat nilai serapan terbesar menunjukkan bahwa pada lokasi tersebut terdapat sumbu magnetik, yang sebelumnya diasumsikan berada di pusat lingkaran penampang poloidal tokamak.
