Ujung Pangkah mangrove ecosystem in the estuary of Bengawan Solo River is one of the mangrove ecosystems in East Java Province. In addition to its ecological functions, the presence of extensive mangrove forests with highly diversified fauna gives it the potential to be developed asa future tourism object. This study aimed to determine mangrove ecosystems for potential tourism development in Ujung Pangkah, Gresik Regency, East Java. The structure of the mangrove ecosystem was obtained by analyzing the mangrove vegetation, while land suitability and determination of suitable activity in mangrove area were obtained through multi-criteria analysis. According to the study, there were 7 species of mangrove found in Ujung Pangkah. Avecenia marina and Rhizophora apiculata were commonly found in the area. The type of ecotourism activities considered as very appropriate in the Ujung Pangkah mangrove area included jogging, specifically in Banyu Urip Village (84.52%), fishing in Pangkah Kulon Village (83.23%), and Pangkah Wetan Village (83.23%).

Indonesia's environmental services and natural resources have great potential both on land and sea, especially for tourism purposes. One of the tourism sectors comes from coastal tourism. The development of coastal tourism areas must lead to a planned development in a comprehensive manner so that optimal benefits can be obtained for the community. The research was conducted in Labuhan village which is one of the coastal villages in Lamongan Regency. The method used was survey and observation methods coupled with closed interviews with questionnaires, while natural parameters were carried out by field observation. The research aims to analyze, choose the right type of tourism activity according to the suitability index of the type of tourism activity on Kutang beach, Labuhan village, Brondong District, Lamongan Regency. Data analysis was done by means of multi criteria analysis. This analysis is developed based on utility theory, with the assumption that a person's total (composite) utility is formed as an aggregate of the many attributes (components) that make up the utility. The type of tourism activity which is categorized as very suitable or feasible to do in the Kutang beach area is in the form of tracking activities with a suitability value of 84% and Safari Photo of 83%. Alternative types of activities (according to condition) are Canoeing with a suitability value of 80%, fishing and culinary 77% and swinging 74%.

Sentra perikanan tangkap kota Cirebon, ditunjukkan oleh aktivitas PPN Kejawanan dan tiga TPI lain di sekitarnya. Terdapat 9 Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUB) yang tumbuh dari aktivitas sub sektor perikanan tangkap kota Cirebon. Penelitian bertujuan menemukan strategi untuk meningkatkan kinerja KUB dalam rangka memberdayakan keluarga nelayan. Metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan fenomenalogi. Peneliti menggunakan survei terestris untuk melakukan wawancara tertutup dengan responden yang dipilih secara sengaja, mengenai 15 tema yang dianggap merefleksikan aktivitas kebaharian para nelayan. Responden berjumlah 172 orang, memiliki kriteria khusus terutama dari sisi ketokohan, pengalaman, dan keahlian bekerja sebagai nelayan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nelayan kinerja KUB nelayan rendah karena mayoritas terjerat oleh tengkulak. Kinerja KUB hanya dapat ditingkatkan apabila nelayan memiliki komitmen dan konsistensi memberdayakan dirinya; ditandai dengan indikasi berupa meningkatnya kemampuan mengolah dan menghasilkan produk bermutu; serta memiliki dasar pengetahuan yang kuat tentang kebaharian. Bukan sebagaimana saat ini, hal mana nelayan melaut berbekal pengalaman dari hasil meniru pekerjaan yang dilakukan oleh para pendahulu sebelumnya.

The practices of worship involve the relationship between humans and themselves, humans and humans, humans and God, and even the relationship between humans and the environment in which they live. With the power of human imagination, when the relationships are practiced properly according to God's direction, then there comes surrender, obedience, and devotion in worshiping God. Spiritual hyperreality or hyperspirituality has created practices of worship that are based on simulating pure rituals as taught by prophets, even though they are ritual formations far from the prophetsnes. Because of the signs of worship practice are based on simulations or self-imaginations, then what appears is falsehood and lies on the signs of the practice of worship. This paper intends to unmask hyperreality in spiritual activities that have been considered sacred. This paper uses semiotics as its approach, especially those introduced by Bartes, Piliang and Baudrillard. this study found that when the practice of worship has been separated from it's pure rituals as taught by prophets and formed a simulation, the practice of worship is only a means of imaging, style personality, and reproduction machinery.

As an institution of education and agent of social change, the Faculty of Da'wah, IAIN Salatiga, has Islamic religious characteristics. These characteristics confirm its missionary effort as a part of social responsibility. The Da'wah Faculty pursues empowerment by rolling out a program of waste bank management. This program is a manifestation of the application of da’wah bi al-hal (preaching by actuating) to build assisted-communities who are empowered and independent in processing garbage. Furthermore, the program of waste bank management not only provides clean and healthy communities but also increases the community’s ability to gain environmental benefits and improving its economy. This study aims to analyze the implementation of da’wah movement through waste bank management, from assessment, recycling management, construction, to evaluation. The method of research in this study uses a qualitative method, Participatory Action Research (PAR) to make changes and benefits for the community, and empowerment theory as the mainframe of thought in carrying out da’wah bi al-hal. The results of participatory action research showed that preaching by actuating of Da’wah Faculty IAIN Salatiga in the assisted-communities has increased participation, trust, and cooperative relationships among them in managing the waste bank. Fakultas Dakwah IAIN Salatiga sebagai lembaga pemikiran dan agen perubahan sosial, memiliki karakteristik keagamaan Islam. Karakteristik ini meneguhkan upaya berdakwah sebagai tanggung jawab sosialnya.

Pengelolaan sumberdaya perikanan rumput laut jenis Eucheuma cottonii harus dilakukan dengan memperhatikan daya dukung perairan (waters carrying capacity) dengan tujuan untuk menentukan kapasitas optimum budidaya rumput laut. Pendekatan yang dapat digunakan untuk menentukan daya dukung adalah dengan analisis ecological footprint (EF), dimana pada penelitian ini adalah footprint produksi. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Oktober 2016 untuk memetakan dan menganalisis daya dukung perairan di Kabupaten Sinjai, Sulawesi Selatan dengan sistem informasi geografis dan pendekatan ecological footprint. Berdasarkan hasil analisis daya dukung perairan di Kabupaten Sinjai menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pemanfaatan perairan (EFP) adalah 4.68 ton/kapita/tahun atau setara dengan 6,223.49 ton/tahun, sedangkan ketersediaan ruang perairan (biocapacity/BC) adalah 32,607.28 hektar yang mampu untuk memproduksi rumput laut sebanyak 483,446.09 ton/tahun. Apabila menggunakan asumsi bahwa pemanfaatan seluruh ketersediaan lahan perairan yang ada (32,607,28 hektar), maka daya dukung jumlah sumberdaya manusia yang mungkin untuk dapat memanfaatkan lahan tersebut adalah 10,839 kapita.

Cloud computing is a new paradigm that provides end users with a secure, personalized, dynamic computing environment with guaranteed service quality. One popular solution is Google cloud firestore, a global-scale not only structured query language (NoSQL) document database for mobile and web apps. Recent research on cloud-based NoSQL databases often discusses the difference between them and SQL databases and their performance. However, using cloud-based NoSQL databases such as firestore is tricky without any scientific comparison methodology, and it needs analysis of how its particular systems work. This study aims to discover what is the best design that could be implemented to optimize data read cost, response size, and time regarding the cloud firestore database. In this study, we develop a grade point average (GPA)-report mocking application to assess data read based on our institution’s needs. This application consists of three functions. Add the graduated GPA and students’ names, and view the ten highest GPAs, GPA average, and total graduated students. The finding indicates that aggregating data on the client side or utilizing the Google cloud function trigger, then updating aggregation data in one transaction significantly reduces document read count (cost), response size, and time.
