Public Open Space as Urban Architecture: Design and Public Life

Public open space (POS) does not become an adequate priority in urban planning and design in developing countries, including Indonesia. The cities are almost ‘full of buildings' and ‘less of POS.' Meanwhile, many studies show that the POS has a significant effect on citizens' quality of life. By this situation, the research means to explore the quality of public open space in relation to its utilization. The study observed POS in several small towns in North Sumatra Province, where new urbanized area had been rising by autonomy regulation. A visual survey was carried out to record, map and identify the quality of the public open spaces. Besides, the visitors were interviewed to get their perception of the quality of POS. The investigation indicates that almost of public life did not always equal with the design of the POS. Almost POS have no pedestrian linkage to make it connect with the other urban space. Thus, the majority of POS was alienated with the other part of cities.There was no integration with public transport, too. The facilities were less of maintenance. However, the community kept coming to the place and doing many activities. The respondents perceived the POS as quite good, but not good enough. Still, they mostly believed that the POS have a real impact on their quality of life

The data are secondary data in the form of financialstatements of earning assets by Bank Indonesia. Data analysis wasperformed using analysis of the ratio of Non Performing Financing(NPF) and NPL. Techniques analysis which used to compare thelevel of success NPF of microfinance BRI Shariah and BRI isMann-Whitney Test Method.

Respirasi Tanah pada Sebagian Lokasi di Hutan Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan (Tnbbs)

Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan merupakan perwakilan dari rangkaian pegunungan Bukit Barisan yang terdiri dari tipe vegetasi hutan mangrove, hutan pantai, hutan tropika sampai pegunungan di Sumatera. Respirasi tanah merupakan salah satu indikator dari aktivitas biologi seperti mikroba, akar atau kehidupan lain di dalam tanah, dan aktivitas ini sangat penting untuk ekosistem di dalam tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari respirasi tanah di beberapa lokasi di TamanNasional Bukit Barisan Selatan (TNBBS). Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode survei, yaitu dengan pengumpulan data langsung dari beberapa lokasi di hutan TNBBS yaitu di 3 lokasi, Bukit Camp Rhino, Bukit Kilometer 26, dan Pemerihan Kecil. Uji korelasi dilakukan antara respirasi tanah dengan pH tanah, C-organik tanah (%), C-organik seresah (%), N-total tanah (%), N-total seresah (%), kadar air tanah (%), kadar air seresah (%), suhu tanah (ºC), biomassa seresah, C/N ratio tanah, dan C/N ratio seresah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan masing – masing lokasi memiliki respirasi tanah yang berbeda serta C- organik tanah berkorelasi positif nyata dengan respirasi tanah dan tidak berkorelasi dengan faktor-faktor pendukung lainnya
