This paper looks at substantiating the choice of a pyrometallurgical technique for processing of copper-nickel sulphide concentrates with a high concentration of platinum group metals. For this, it is proposed to use a modified SWOT analysis, which was also tested. The paper considers a classical SWOT analysis and its stages and gives examples of its application in different industries. Constraints have been identified for the pyrometallurgical processes recommended for analysis. Internal and external factors have been defined for the recommended pyrometallurgical processes. Each of the factors has been assigned relevance and impact coefficients with regard to an appropriate process. The obtained results have been included in an integrated estimator matrix. The obtained results have been evaluated on the basis of such indicators as overall, internal and external SWOT coefficients expressed as figures. The resultant data served as the basis for recommending the relatively most effective processes that would enable to achieve the project goals. This study can be used to issue recommendations on choosing the most advanced pyrometallurgical techniques for copper-nickel sulphide concentrates that will help reduce the number of processes involved and conduct a further detailed feasibility study. The given indicators may change considerably depending on the factor linked to the production hazards. That’s why a stability calculation was performed additionally for the overall SWOT estimates in relation to this criterion. The change dynamics of the overall coefficients is reflected in the graphs. Depending on the selected level of production hazards some processes may swap on the efficiency scale. The authors offer their recommendations on optimum processes that will enable to achieve the project goals considering the above mentioned factor.

Copper-nickel sulphide ores serve as the main source of nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals in Russia. The conventional metallurgy of proces sing copper-nickel sulphide concentrates involves producing converter matte and its further refining. Ores found in the Voronezh Region are characterized with high concentrations of arsenic and magnesium, which hinders the application of pyrometallurgical techniques. At the same time, there is a trend in today’s science and industry to develop and adopt hydrometallurgical techniques, and this also applies to copper-nickel sulphide ores. Such techniques enable comprehensive utilization of ore and are environmentally friendly, highly efficient and easily automatable. The paper examines a number of well-known hydrometallurgical techniques for processing copper-nickel sulphide concentrates. Some of them have been implemented in industry and some have been studied by several authors on a laboratory or pilot scale. The most advanced techniques were identified for the ore concentrates obtained from the Voronezh Region ores. Studies were conducted in hydrometallurgical processing of copper-nickel ore concentrates of varying composition, including the copper-nickel concentrates obtained from the Voronezh ores. It is shown that these techniques can potentially be applied to copper-nickel concentrates, including those which have high concentrations of impurities, which would not be acceptable for conventional processing technology. Having analyzed the available solutions, as well as the results of the conducted studies, the authors have come to a conclusion that pressure oxidation leaching would offer the most innovative technology to be applied to the Voronezh Region ores.

Tourism shows a significant contribution to foreign exchange and regional income in Indonesia. Defined as a priority and leading sector in the RPJMD, tourism development in the Regencies and the Province of Gorontalo must measure the results, benefits and impacts for all stakeholders. Contribution to regional income (PAD) and the composition of internal and external factors in each of the leading destinations is needed for the purpose of determining the strategy and policy of sustainable tourism development. The study concluded that tourism sector was relatively small in its contribution to each PAD total by Regencies in Gorontalo Province. The low of PADsp is relevant to the low occupancy rate (TPK) of the hotel and the length of stay (LoS). The lack of retribution income from recreation and sports spot is relevant to the lack of activities to support the attractiveness such as art and cultural attractions and local products that can be souvenirs for tourists. Infrastructure facilities at leading tourism objects are relatively incomplete or do not meet tourism standards. The low of PAD, TPK LoS can also explain that the increase in tourists to Gorontalo is only a transit to the other tourist objects outside of Gorontalo Province.Keywords: Tourism, Leading Sector, Gorontalo, Income, Swot Analysis

AbstractHolistic interpretation of Earth heritage is one of the most important tasks of UNESCO Global geoparks. The ABC (abiotic, biotic, and cultural interconnections) concept is a potential interpretive approach used in Earth heritage popularization through geotourism. Apart of the deeper understanding of this concept, this study explores the application of this concept in selected geoparks. The Colca and Volcanoes Andagua UNESCO Global Geopark (Peru) and Muroto UNESCO Global Geopark (Japan) served as a case study in the frame of this qualitative research conducted during the summer 2019. Results show that the ABC approach is nearly perfectly understood by both geoparks, however there are both internal and external factors which influence the extent and form of how this concept is applied in practice. Except for specific geographical settings, different stages of geopark product development, and different managerial approaches, they mainly include the level of scientific knowledge and general education in the given geopark, as well as level of knowledge management and networking with another UNESCO global geoparks. The more experienced Muroto Geopark interpretation exhibits a comparatively higher level of visible ABC application, while the Colca and Volcanoes Andagua Geopark can benefit in the future from the natural inclination and ability of the local people to integrate the cultural aspects into their Earth heritage interpretation.

Vaname shrimp is one of the leading cultivations of fishery production commodities in Indonesia which has high selling price and market share, also relatively resistant with high stocking density. Cultivation activities of this commodity can be carried out through three systems; namely traditional, semi-intensive, and intensive system. One group of cultivators who develop shrimp farming business is Mina Nusantara group in Lamongan District, where the cultivation system is still performed traditionally. The shrimp size was not uniform, and the survival rate was low once it harvested. Moreover, community empowerment was applied to increase vaname productivity towards semi-intensive system by culture potential analyses using SWOT and self-feed production training. Survey and experimental approach were used during the activities. The activities included survey and discussion with shrimp local farmer (Mina Nusantara), identified internal and external factors of culture by using SWOT analysis, carried out self-made artificial feed training, and program evaluation at the end. The activity resulted an increasing of farmer understanding of various culture system and they can produce the pellet in small scale by themselves. Based on SWOT analysis, the culture is potential to develop sustainably by regarding both internal and external factors.

Food and tourism can not be separated. Travellers will always need food to fill his stomach. However, trend of culinary tourism which begun to be popular in the beginning of the year 2000 has come to the definition that food is not only something to satisfy someones’ hunger. Traditional food of one destination could become an attraction to motivate tourists to come.Jakarta as the capital city that never stop welcoming tourists – domestic and abroad - to come, has many potential culinary attractions. Unfortunately,until today, traditinal food of Betawi - Jakarta people – that is known by people are very limited in number. The delightfull of Betawi cuisine is not yet being tourist attractions.This study was conducted to analyze Bubur Ase, one of Betawi cuisine, to become a culinary attractions for tourist to come. This special dish is very unique since it is a mixture of porridge, beef stew in sweet soy sauce, and vegetable pickles. The taste is different from another porridge that is already famous. This qualitative research uses primary data from observations, FGD, and in depth interview with Betawi culinary experts. SWOT analysis is used to get a whole picture of internal and external factors that is affected Bubur Ase.The resulf of the study shows that Bubur Ase is potential to become an attractiom for culinaru tourism in Jakarta. The uniqueness and harmonization of taste, historical stories, cultural values and philosophies in a bowl of Bubur Ase are the strenghts that can be developed and promoted. Some weaknesses and threats could be overcome if this dish is already popular.
