MEMBANGUN DESTINATION IMAGE MENUJU DAYA SAING DESTINASI PADA OBYEK WISATA DI KOTA SEMARANG

AbstrakTujuan - Tujuan penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi guna menghasilkan konsep membangun daya saing destinasi pada obyek wisata di kota Semarang, agar masyarakat lebih banyak berkunjung ke obyek wisata di kota Semarang, sehingga kesejahteraan masyarakat meningkat, lapangan pekerjaan semakin banyak dan pendapatan daerah meningkat. Desain/Metodologi/Pendekatan - Variabel yang diuji untuk membangun daya saing destinasi pada obyek wisata di kota Semarang adalah distinctive capabilities, kualitas informasi kepariwisataan, electric word of mouth, dan destination image diduga sebagai mediasi dalam membangun daya saing destinasi. Populasi adalah semua pengunjung obyek wisata di kota Semarang, sedangkan sampel ditentukan sebesar 150, responden ditentukan dengan menggunakan teknik Cluster Sampling. Alat analisis yang dipergunakan adalah Structural Equation Medelling (SEM) dengan aplikasi program Partial Least Square (PLS) yaitu smartPLS.3.0 Hasil Penelitian - Hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan bahwa semua Hipotesis didukung. Distinctive Capabilities, Kualitas Informasi Kepariwisataan,  Electric Word of Mouth positif signifikan berpengaruh pada Destination Image obyek wisata di kota Semarang. Destination Image terbukti berperan sebagai intervening dalam membangun Daya saing Destinasi obyek wisata di kota Semarang.Keterbaruan/Nilai -   AbstractPurpose - The purpose of this research is to contribute in order to produce the concept of building the competitiveness of destinations in tourist objects in the city of Semarang, so that more people visit tourist objects in the city of Semarang, so that people's welfare increases, employment opportunities and regional income increases. Design/Methodology/Approach The variables tested to build destination competitiveness in tourism objects in the city of Semarang are Distinctive Capabilities, Quality of Tourism Information, Electric Word of Mouth, and Destination Image which are thought to be mediating in building Destination Competitiveness. The population is all visitors to tourist objects in the city of Semarang, while the sample is determined at 150, the respondents are determined using the Cluster Sampling technique. The analytical tool used is Structural Equation Medelling (SEM) with the application program Partial Least Square (PLS), namely smartPLS. Finding - The results of hypothesis testing show that all Hypotheses are supported. Distinctive Capabilities, Quality of Tourism Information, Electric Word of Mouth have a significant positive effect on the Destination Image of tourism objects in the city of Semarang. Destination Image has been proven to play an intervening role in building the competitiveness of tourist destinations in the city of Semarang.Organization/nilai

GAMMA SCANNING TECHNIQUE FOR INVESTIGATING DE-ETHANIZER COLUMN: ON FIELD EXPERIMENTAL AT NGL PLANT

GAMMA SCANNING TECHNIQUE FOR INVESTIGATING DE-ETHANIZER COLUMN: ON FIELD EXPERIMENTAL AT NGL PLANT. De-ethanizer column is part of fractionators series at natural gas liquid (NGL) plant. During the production process, there are several common problems happen such as displaced or damaged trays, dry or flooding trays, unequal liquid level on trays, weeping or dumping trays, foaming on trays, etc. Therefore, investigation of column’s internal condition without interupting production process is needed to maintain the production level. Gamma scanning technique has been chosen to investigate 01-C-3401 de-ethanizer column. The column has two segments, the lower (ID: 1900 mm) and the upper (ID: 3200 mm) segments. Total column height (TL to TL) is 36710 mm. The scanning was conducted by positioning collimated gamma source (Co-60, 2.59 GBq) and detector (NaI(Tl)) flanking the column. The collimators move up in parallel by 50 mm and detector counted radiation that penetrated column for 3 seconds every scanning step. The scanning process were performed automatically using winch with AC motor, microcontroller module, computer with LabVIEW as graphical user interface (GUI). The results show mechanical structures of tray #1 - #38 were in good condition. There were no collapsed or flooded trays in the column.  The demister was in its position. Chimneys above tray #38 and tray #8 were observed exist. The liquid level during the scanning process were in normal liquid level (NLL) approaching to high liquid level (HLL). Gamma scanning technique has been succesfull to provide the internal structure condition information of the column
