Engineering development system of community-based agrotourism development
No full textWorld widely, the tourism sector is contributing significantly to non-commodity exchange, unfortunately Indonesia still ranks 60th and is still lagging behind some other countries in Asia; as vvarious constraints faced by the tourism Indonesia, including in Tutur District. This study aims to determine the development of agro-tourism area, analyze the factors, goals and agro-tourism development strategy, and formulate a model of community-based ecotourism development, thereby promoting economic growth, employment absorption, and poverty alleviation. A set of questionaire has been distributed to grab expertise perception and opinion on the planning of agrotourism development in the District of Tutur. The AHP, Fuzzy, MPE and ISM approaches have been used to analyze and decide the most prefereable variables chosen by the responden. Further, a dynamic model of development planning and implementation scheme have been applied to synthesys the final result. The results showed that the prospective areas to be developed as an agrotourism areas are District of Tutur, District of Pandaan, and the District of Tosari; in which the highest value indicated by the District of Tutur which has various comodities of apples, durians, chrysanthemum flower, and paprika. This district also has agro-industry products to support the agro tourism program, such as apple cider. In order to increase the number of tourist, the study found that it is important to pay attention to agro-industry development, infrastructure improvement, improving the quality and number of attractions, increasing relations with stakeholders, increasing promotion and cooperation dan improving the quality of human resources capacities. Since a low quality of human resources in businessman-group, it was also found that needed to do some institutional empowerment, agrotourism entrepreneurship and increasing appreciation on pricing of agro-products.Pengembangan pariwisata menjadi salah satu sektor yang mendapat prioritas tinggi dalam pembangunan di berbagai negara. Salah satu sektor pariwisata di Indonesia yang potensial untuk dikembangkan adalah agrowisata. Agrowisata merupakan diversifikasi produk wisata yang menggabungkan aktivitas pertanian (agro) dan rekreasi di sebuah lingkungan pertanian. Agrowisata juga memberi peluang wisatawan untuk terlibat dalam aktivitas rekreasi pedesaan untuk memperluas pengetahuan, pengalaman rekreasi dan hubungan usaha di bidang agro. Salah satu kecamatan yang berpotensi dikembangkan pariwisatanya adalah Kecamatan Tutur. Pengembangan agrowisata tidak bisa dilepaskan dari masyarakat di sekitar kawasan agrowisata, mengingat masyarakat lokal berperan besar dalam keberhasilan sebuah agrowisata. Oleh karena itu, maka agrowisata idealnya dikembangkan melalui konsep pemberdayaan masyarakat. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menentukan kawasan pengembangan agrowisata, menganalisis faktor, tujuan dan strategi pengembangan agrowisata, merumuskan model pengembangan agrowisata berbasis masyarakat, sehingga mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi, penyerapan lapangan kerja dan pengentasan kemiskinan. Model yang disusun kemudian diverifikasi dengan data primer yang diperoleh dari lokasi yang ditentukan. Pada penelitian ini juga ditentukan komoditas unggulan dan produk olahan agroindustri prospektif yang mendukung pengembangan agrowisata dengan berorientasi pada potensi daerah. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Tutur Kabupaten Pasuruan, Jawa Timur. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini dengan pendekatan sistem. Data yang diambil adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Dalam penelitian ini terlebih dahulu dilakukan identifikasi sistem, selanjutnya menentukan kawasan, komoditas, produk unggulan dan zonasi kawasan dengan menggunakan metoda perbandingan eksponensial (MPE). Selain itu juga ditentukan alternative kebijakan sistem pengembangan agowisata berbasis masyarakat dengan menggunakan analytical hierarchy process (AHP) dan Fuzzy. Selanjutnya ditentukan kendala-kendala pengembangan, analisis kelembagaan dan aktivitas yang diperlukan dengan menggunakan analisis interpretative structure modelling (ISM

Task-Guided and Semantic-Aware Ranking for Academic Author-Paper Correlation Inference
No full textWe study the problem of author-paper correlation inference in big scholarly data, which is to effectively infer potential correlated works for researchers using historical records. Unlike supervised learning algorithms that predict relevance score of author-paper pair via time and memory consuming feature engineering, network embedding methods automatically learn nodes' representations that can be further used to infer author-paper correlation. However, most current models suffer from two limitations: (1) they produce general purpose embeddings that are independent of the specific task; (2) they are usually based on network structure but out of content semantic awareness. To address these drawbacks, we propose a task-guided and semantic-aware ranking model. First, the historical interactions among all correlated author-paper pairs are formulated as a pairwise ranking loss. Next, the paper's semantic embedding encoded by gated recurrent neural network, together with the author's latent feature is used to score each author-paper pair in ranking loss. Finally, a heterogeneous relations integrative learning module is designed to further augment the model. The evaluation results of extensive experiments on the well known AMiner dataset demonstrate that the proposed model reaches significant better performance, comparing to a number of baselines.We would like to thank Yuxiao Dong for suggestions.

Kajian Sastra Perjalanan dalam Hikayat Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ke Mekah Karya Abdullah Bin Abdul Kadir Munsyi
No full textThis research is aimed to identify and to reveal a hikayat as classic travel literature of Indonesia by the travel writing theory of Carl Thompson. To gain those purposes, this research used literary criticism and descriptive-analytic methods. The object of this study is Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ke Mekah by Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir Munsyi (1854), focusing on the six elements of travel writing by Carl Thompson’s approach based on the hikayat. This study shows that the hikayat contains six elements of travel writing. Those are self, other, movement, space, encounter, and writing. Abdullah as a sailor puts himself in his hikayat as the main character by using “sahaya” and “aku” to articulate “self” in his hikayat. The “self” during travel met new and foreign things that the author had never seen before. He drew and expressed his point of view, feeling, and observation of all the encounters that he had met during sailing in to hikayat.Keywords: Carl Thompson, hikayat, travel writin
Dynamic augmentation of SCORM pre-authored course materials with adaptive links to supplementary resources
No full textIn a SCORM compliant courseware, content and the pedagogic approach to be taken are predefined by the course author. As a consequence, users are unable to learn according to their preferences, and implicitly they will all encounter the same learning experience. Recent attempts to personalise learning in SCORM often resulted in either modifying or substituting SCORM specification elements. Nonetheless, SCORM is a widely-used solution to interoperability problems. For this reason, this work focuses on supplementing SCORM rather than redefining it. This is accomplished by dynamically associating each pre-authored learning material in a SCORM package with adaptive links to relevant supplementary resources upon delivery. As a result, we have developed a Personalised Link Service (PLS) to deliver these links into user’s SCORM-compliant learning environment. In this paper, we present the design of a PLS authoring architecture which enables the automatic generation of a concept map from a SCORM package and consequently links to alternative learning resources, and a PLS run-time service oriented architecture which delivers these alternative resources, alongside the SCORM defined resources, according to a user model. We demonstrate the feasibility of our architecture by implementing a service to support a simple notion of a user model (Preferred Learning style)
