I feel rather diffident in opening this topic as there are some of you who are far more experienced in this field than I am.I think that, in talking about the Aboriginal people, some basic premises should be stated first. The Aboriginal people had a highly developed tribal system and a much higher ethical structure than the white man has. By contrast, an excellent study of Australian values is contained in a book by Ronald Conway, a Melbourne Psychologist, called The Great Australian Stupor. His equation of the Australian value system is as follows:Material Wealth = Pleasure = Happiness= Reason for Living.He writes –Whereas the Aboriginal trod his enchanted earth for centuries on tip-toe, leaving the delicate balance of nature of a tired continent intact, the white settler preferred to greet the touchiness of Australian climate and soil with a murderous impatience.When the white man came to this continent he took the best land for agricultural purposes. He broke up the tribal system so that the Aboriginal people were left leaderless and landless. Now we expect, in our schools and other aspects of our society, that the Aboriginal people will bridge the gap to a super-industrial civilization (with its questionable value system) in two or three generations.

The purpose of this study to analyze the correlation of  tourism development with livelihood strategies and living standard of fisherman household of Karimunjawa Village. Type of attraction that developed in Indonesia is ecotourism and tourism. Tourism development are good not only focus on the balance of nature and level of the economy, but also the welfare of local communities. Fisherman are part of the local community in the implementation of coastal tourism and small islands. This study will analyze about tourism and fisher household. This research combined quantitative approach using questioner method and qualitative approach using interview method. The result of this study explained about the development of tourism had affected the livelihood strategy of fisherman household. Implementation of the strategy is not only living as part of efforts to sustain life, but also improve the standard of living of  fishermen household.Keywords: ecotourism, national park, livelihood structure-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRAKPenelitian dilaksanakan di Kabupaten Lombok Tengah, Nusa Tenggara Barat, yang mencakup dua dusun, yaitu Dusun Sade, Desa Rembitan, Kecamatan Jonggata dan Dusun Ketangge, Desa Sukarara, Kecamatan Pujut.

The data collection technique that researchers used in this study was a questionnaire. The instrument in this study was the NEP questionnaire. Data analysis in this study was carried out using qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. The results of the questionnaire are known that students' readiness of sustainable behavior on each indicator has shown good results. The limits to growth component shows the results of an understanding of the limitations of the earth in providing natural resources that students have mastered. The anti-anthropocentrism component shows that no student has a high ego towards the environment. The balance of nature component shows students have no potential to damage nature in the future. In the anti-exemptionalism component students can already be responsible for the environment. The eco-crisis component shows that students can already understand about the environmental damage mostly caused by humans.

Based on the analysis of extensive and intensive indicators of the epizootic process, identification of general patterns of development of polyvid biofilms of microorganisms of various systematic groups, the effectiveness of methods for decontamination of food raw materials and the environment during the cluster production of rabbit breeding products is scientifically justified and experimentally confirmed. The main goal is creation of comprehensive antiepizootic measures for effective of production sphere and preserving the ecological balance of nature during the complex processing of agricultural raw materials, the most complete extraction of valuable components from it, recycling of production waste. For the prevention of infectious diseases of rabbits with the involvement in the economic turnover of secondary raw materials and waste of the rabbit breeding complex in order to reduce waste and production losses, it is advisable to develop processes for obtaining new types of products and additives that improve the nutritional and biological value; improve technologies for the production of full-fledged, enriched with useful components of feed; develop technological processes for the production of technical products from waste; development of technical means and processes that ensure the reduction of emissions and their conversion to environmentally friendly forms, intensification of the degree of wastewater treatment. Scientific substantiation of the effectiveness of the methodology of epizootic monitoring of infectious pathology of animals in the future will allow optimizing the schemes of microbiological studies and developing comprehensive anti-epizootic measures in the cluster production of rabbit breeding products.
