The promotion of tourism will bring a greater contribution, in terms of economic development, i.e. increased foreign expenditures, generate business activities, provide more capital and employment, induce more production, and improve per capita income. It goes without saying that the dollar contribution of this industry will greatly hasten the development of a region. Such condition could not be seen yet in Klipoh Borobudur. Klipoh is, a tourism village in Central Java Indonesia closed to Borobudur Temple. Klipoh is one of the poorest villages in Borbudur Regency Presently, the community faces some problems which hinder the development of tourism in their village, namely, limited tourism overview of the people, absence of infrastructure, inadequate government assistance in terms of budgeting and technical assistance. By using descriptive method, the study analyzes the stated problems and tries to identifies appropriate strategies that may be adopted to improve economic condition of the people.

and other research outputs A multi-pronged empirical approach to mobile privacy investigation

Security and privacy have emerged as important issues owing to the proliferation of social networking site. Sharing and distribution of relationship-based information on social network sites can have a serious impact on an individual’s activity; moreover, it can exert a negative influence on the overall information society. To solve security and privacy issues of social networking, we introduce a policy-based access control model to support access control based on privacy policies. Our system helps to protect users from potential dangers in social network environments. This work examines the practical applicability of the model by prototyping the system implementation method in the web environment. We also compare our research with other studies on privacy protection for social networks.

It is well known that spatial variations of the main magnetic field can cause large geometric distortions along the phase-encode direction of echo planar images (EPI) [1]. In fMRI, these distortions in the EPI data can lead to local shifts of 6-9mm [5] in inferior slices and signal pile-up [6]. Approaches to correcting distortions caused by field inhomogeneities include field mapping [5, 3] and non-linear registration with an undistorted reference image (usually a T1- or T2- weighted) [4, 1]. We previously developed a method for correcting distortion in the EPI images used in diffusion weighted imaging
