Studi potensi lanskap wisata Kampung Rawa Gede, Desa Tugu Utara, Kabupaten Bogor, berbasis partisipatif

Rawa Gede Hamlet is located in Tugu Utara Village, Bogor Regency, and nearby Mount Gede Pangrango. Beautiful sceneries of tea plantations and horticulture fields exist with various natural features such as waterfall and spring lake. However, a community business which manage coffee plantation awarded as the best national coffee called Cibulao Coffee also existed and give economical value to the local people. Therefore, Rawa Gede Hamlet has a potential to be developed as a tourism destination. The aim of this sudy is to assess how potentials Rawa Gede Hamlet as a tourism hamlet including both spatial and nonspatial aspects. In addition, the process of the study was a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods by using suitability scoring, community mapping, interview, and focus group discussion. This study also drove participatory approach as a core of research for design. The result showed that there are several tourism destination that had higher points than other according to tourism suitability. Those objects were Telaga Saat, Bukit Gerindra, Wisata Alam Gunung Luhur, Wisata Alam Gunung Kencana, dan Curug Sawer. Furthermore, this study was emerged also with non-spatial aspects and those acted as an identity of Rawa Gede Hamlet.

EXPLORING NEW CAHOKIAN NEIGHBORHOODS: STRUCTURE DENSITY ESTIMATES FROM THE SPRING LAKE TRACT, CAHOKIA

We present the recent results of a magnetometry survey of the Spring Lake Tract conducted during the summer of 2015 at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site located along the Mississippi River Floodplain in southern Illinois. This tract, located southeast of Woodhenge and west of the Grand Plaza, is situated north of two known borrow pits and includes an additional, previously unidentified borrow pit. Through comparing our gradiometer results with our subsequent test excavations, we argue that this area of Cahokia potentially demonstrates an increase in building density at the Spring Lake Tract during the transition between the Terminal Late Woodland and Lohmann phases. In addition, our survey and exaction results demonstrate that this area was densely occupied between the Lohmann and Stirling phases. During the Moorehead phase, we identify a possible increase in habitation based on hypothesized structure density using statistical analyses of length and width ratios (m) and structure area (m2). Our preliminary results suggest that the Spring Lake Tract saw an increase in habitation during the Moorehead phase, a new perspective on the density and use of domestic space during Cahokia's late occupational history.

Muskellunge Management: Fifty Years of Cooperation Among Anglers, Scientists, and Fisheries Biologists

<em>Abstract</em>.—Accurate estimates of growth and mortality are important for management of recreational fisheries. Accurate age estimates often require the sacrifice of fish; thus, assessments of growth and mortality rates of trophy fishes such as Muskellunge <em>Esox masquinongy </em>often lack sufficient data. Mark–recapture history can be used as a nonlethal alternative to estimate growth and mortality in fishes. To determine the utility of this approach, we used data from a 17-year Muskellunge mark–recapture program conducted on two Illinois reservoirs (Kinkaid Lake and North Spring Lake). Von Bertalanffy parameter estimates by sex, lake, and tag type (passive integrated transponder and T-bar anchor tags) were obtained using a novel modification of the Fabens growth model and compared to von Bertalanffy growth estimates using known- or scale-aged fish. Mortality was calculated using both age- and length-based methods. Fabens growth model estimates of asymptotic length (<em>L</em>_∞) and growth coefficient (<EM>K</EM>) were within 6% (≤62 mm) and 23% (≤0.11) of corresponding von Bertalanffy growth model parameter estimates from known- or scale-aged fish by lake and sex. Provided that all sizes of fish are sampled, 4 years of mark–recapture data with more than 100 recaptures were found to be sufficient to produce reliable parameter estimates. Growth parameters differed between male fish tagged with passive integrated transponder or T-bar anchor tags but did not differ by tag type for females. Differences in Muskellunge growth and mortality rates between the two study lakes suggest that changing from a regionally applied minimum length limit to lake-specific minimum length limits may be warranted. Our results highlight the feasibility of mark–recapture data as a nonlethal technique to estimate population-specific growth and mortality rates for Muskellunge and the potential value of this approach in facilitating lake-specific Muskellunge management.
