Asian colobines typically live in small one-male groups (OMGs) averaging five adult females, but Simias concolor (simakobu or pig-tailed langur) is considered an exception because mostly adult male-female pairs have been reported. However, based on their phylogenetic position and marked sexual dimorphism, simakobu are also expected to form OMGs with multiple females. The preponderance of small groups could be the result of human disturbance (hunting or habitat disturbance) reducing group size in the recent past. To investigate this possibility, we documented the demography of ten wild simakobu groups from January 2007 until December 2008 at an undisturbed site, the Peleonan Forest, Siberut Island, Indonesia. We assessed the population-specific size and composition of groups and documented demographic changes due to births, disappearances, and dispersals throughout our 2-year study. We found OMGs with 3.0 adult females on average in addition to all-male groups, but no adult male-female pairs. The ratio of 0.5 infants per adult female (and 0.64 births per female-year in focal groups) suggested that birth rates were similar to those of other Asian colobines. In 5.1 group-years, we observed six dispersal events and six temporary presences (i.e., less than 3 months' residency). Both males and females dispersed, and juveniles seemed to disperse more frequently than adults. To assess the impact of human disturbance on simakobu demography, we compiled data for seven additional populations from the literature and compared them using multiple regressions. Adult sex ratio and the number of immatures per group were influenced negatively by hunting and positively by habitat disturbance while reproductive rates were not significantly affected by either variable. These findings suggest that adult male-female pairs may result from hunting pressure reducing group size, and that conservation action to reduce hunting in the Mentawai Islands is needed to ensure the survival of this critically endangered species.
Indonesia is a big country consisting of various tribes and has different cultures from one to another. From this came the idea to create a tourist site with a cultural background. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is a tourist attraction established since 1975, an attraction with the theme of Indonesian culture. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is still a tourist destination that has been chosen by many families. Likewise, schools that still do a lot of tourist visits for study tours Visitors to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah are still the second most in Jakarta. With the development of tourism, the concept of tourism for all it becomes an absolute necessity. Because throughout the world there is also a very significant increase in the number of tourists, and ten percent have special needs including elderly people, tourists with small children, pregnant women, tourists with permanent and temporary disabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out to what extent Taman Mini Indonesia Indah has implemented accessibility in tourism in accordance with standards set by the UNWTO. The method used is descriptive qualitative, where data is obtained through field research, documentation, checklists and literature studies. The results of the study are found that vertical movements still need to be improved because visitors using a wheelchair cannot enjoy all the regional platforms. And the suggestion from the research is to continue to improve the facilities so that everyone can access them by adding braille letters to the brochure and adding audio announcements to every tourist attraction.
– Doclang is a typical traditional Bogor food found in Indonesia. The composition contained in doclang, are: lontong or pesor in Sundanese, fried tofu, boiled eggs and fried steamed potatoes and bean spices as an aditional. The uniqueness found in doclang is from rice cake made using patat leaves and cooked for a long time. This study aims to obtain an overview of the existence of Doclang in the Bogor community. This research was conducted using qualitative methods by directly collecting data by conducting observations and interviews. The results of the study show that there are two versions of the origin of Doclang, namely the influence of the Chinese community and artisans of diamonds. In making Doclang, Pesor and potatoes are used as a differentiator from kupat tahu. And at this time in the city of Bogor has provided a place for culinary tourism such as Doclang, which is on Jalan Jembatan Merah or Jalan Veteran which is sold by street vendors. Keywords: Doclang, Lontong, Patat leaves, Preserving Abstrak - Doclang merupakan makanan tradisional Khas Bogor yang terdapat di Indonesia. Komposisi yang terdapat pada doclang yaitu: lontong atau pesor dalam Bahasa Sunda, tahu goreng, telor rebus dan kentang kukus yang digoreng serta bumbu kacang sebagai pelengkap. Keunikan yang terdapat pada doclang adalah dari lontong yang dibuat menggunakan daun patat dan dimasak dalam waktu yang lama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran tentang keberadaan Doclang di masyarakat Bogor khususnya. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan langsung mengumpulkan data dengan melakukan observasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat dua versi asal usul Doclang, yaitu pengaruh dari masyarakat Tionghoa dan pengrajin ketupat. Dalam pembuatan Doclang dipergunakan Pesor dan kentang sebagai pembeda dari kupat tahu. Serta pada saat ini di Kota Bogor sudah menyediakan tempat untuk wisata kuliner seperti Doclang, yaitu di Jalan Jembatan Merah atau Jalan Veteran yang dijual oleh para pedagang kaki lima. Kata Kunci: Doclang, Lontong, Daun Patat, Pelestarian
