Abstract

Chitosan, the de-acetylated chitin derivative, was evaluated for its ability to be used as a natural coagulant for Martapura groundwater treatment. This study is used chitosan derived from original fish scales of Kalimantan called Papuyu (Anabas testudineus) for the treatment of iron ion-containing Martapura groundwater through coagulation-flocculation method. The reduction efficiency of iron ion removed by coagulation-flocculation processes using chitosan from Papuyu fish scales is the primary evaluating parameter. The obtained chitosan have been characterized and analyzed by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Fluroscence (XRF) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using of the chitosan from Papuyu fish scales as coagulant at neutral pH and room temperature led to decreasing the groundwater iron concentration become 3.43 mg/L (around 71% removal). The result was then compare to the coagulation-flocculation treatment using the commercial chitosan from shrimps shell (93% deacetylated). Moreover, its found the coagulation-flocculation treatment using the chitosan from fish scales as coagulant more favor than the commercial one.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate descriptively the tourism attraction and infrastructure in Loksado, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, South Kalimantan. Field data was collected through ground checking and listing all aspects of infrastructures, including the condition of road, transportation, accommodation, bridge, houses, and conditions of tourism object. The result shows that tourism grows significantly in Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, with Loksado area as a hot spot for tourism activities and developments. Loksado is productive in term of natural and cultural resources that are potential to develop as the tourist attraction. However, there are problems related to the accessibility with main threat from slippery clay path and landslide. Many build facilities and infrastructures seem to be less managed, and many of them are in development phases. These lead to the weaknesses of the tourism development in Loksado. Community-based tourism appears to be important to promote, with the particular objectives is increasing the local benefit to increase community participation in tourism attraction and infrastructure management. It is also possible to increase local community in accommodation services. Keywords: infrastructure, landslide, Loksado, tourism facility, tropical forest
