Identifying Potential and Development Status of Tourism Village Development in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara
 Tourism village is a combination between natural attraction, culture, and local community creativity, supported by accommodation and other facilities that can attract tourists to visit. Central Lombok Regency is one of the regions that have many potential of tourism villages that yet to be developed. Its location is considered to be strategic and supported by the Special Economic Region (KEK) of Mandalika as government’s super-priority destination. Tourism villages can be an alternative destination to support grand tourism project in Mandalika. The current problem is there is lack of information on tourism villages in Central Lombok Regency. This study aims to identify tourism village development potentials and classify the development status of tourism village in Central Lombok Regency. This research used mix-method approaches. Data collection used primary and secondary sources. Data were gained from interview, observation, questionnaire, and literature study. Data were analyzed using descriptive method, through scoring and classifying tourism village statuses. Result of this study shows that attraction and accessibility were the most important aspects to support tourism village development with scoring value of 3.1 and 3.3 respectively. Amenity, community readiness, and administrator had scoring value below 3. Village-owned enterprise (BUMDesa) and tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis) are yet to support tourism village development. There are lack of promotions, thus needs to be supported by local government and agencies. Most of the villages in Central Lombok Regency were categorized as pioneer and developed.

This paper is concerned with a methodological study of Hayashi’s eej-type quantification method (EQ) and development of a new method (PAMSE) of multidimensional scaling (MDS). First we propose procedures to compare EQ with other methods of MDS in terms of the separation of eigenvalues. Secondly we examine a problem of the fit and dimensionality and point out a peculiar property inherent to EQ. Third we propose a new method of MDS, which is developed from EQ, intended principally for dissimilarity data measured on the medium level between ordinal and interval scale levels. Our method is conceptually similar to but fundamentally different from Johnson’s in that our index of fit is specially formulated in view of the scale level. The method has been found to work successfully, giving a high degree of the rank correlation between the dissimilarities and the derived distances.

Analysis on agro industry performance showed that financial perspective has greatest achievement performance index. Sustainability model used three dimensional aspects, i.e. ecological, social, and economic. Evaluation result showed that values of all the three dimensions were still at less sustainable level.

Child marriage among teenagers has become a serious social issue, particularly in Central Lombok Regency. This phenomenon shows a tendency for teenagers to opt for marriage at a young age rather than continuing their education, which brings negative impacts on health, education, and socio-economic welfare. According to data from BKKBN NTB, in 2015, West Nusa Tenggara had the second-highest rate of child marriage in Indonesia, with a percentage of 5.81%. Despite government regulations aimed at preventing early marriage, their implementation has been less than optimal. SMP Negeri 5 Praya Timur, located in Beleke Lebe Sane Village, East Praya District, Central Lombok Regency, faces this issue directly, with many students deciding to leave school to marry at an early age. A lack of understanding regarding the negative impacts of early marriage, particularly related to reproductive health and education, is one of the primary causes of this phenomenon. The community service activity conducted at SMP Negeri 5 Praya Timur aimed to provide comprehensive counseling to students about the dangers of early marriage and the importance of continuing education to higher levels. The method used was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which involved active participation of students in understanding issues related to early marriage. This counseling was expected to raise student awareness about the risks of early marriage and motivate them to pursue further education. The results of this activity showed an increase in students' understanding of the negative impacts of early marriage and the importance of education as a path to a better future.

The concept of halal tourism for the Provincial Government of West Nusa Tenggara is to increase cultural values ​​with an Islamic identity, which is considered a manifestation of local wisdom. The Mandalika Special Economic Zone is a popular tourist site that attracts both domestic and international visitors. The establishment of the Mandalika circuit, designed to facilitate the hosting of the MotoGP race as a globally renowned event, is expected to significantly enhance international tourism by attracting a larger number of foreign visitors. As a result of this competition, it is expected that a significant number of hotels and restaurants will be constructed in the vicinity. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the establishment in question offers not only halal food and beverages, but also non-halal options. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the strategies for the successful implementation of Halal Tourism inside the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, located in the Central Lombok Regency. The approach that researchers employed in this study is qualitative. The data collection techniques used are interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the research show that halal tourism standards are still ambiguous, so there are still many people who do not understand the standards themselves. This is due to the lack of socialization from related agencies or organizations, giving rise to misperceptions of the concept of halal tourism itself. The policies implemented by the provincial government have not been implemented optimally. This is evident from the halal team, which has not yet been formed by the Provincial Tourism Office. The state of the population in West Nusa Tenggara, particularly in Central Lombok Regency, is conducive to the implementation of the halal tourist concept. The Kuta Mandalika region offers a favorable environment for Muslim tourists, ensuring their comfort and convenience throughout their vacation.

In pertinence to the application of multidimensional scaling (MDS) methods in ranging-based positioning systems, an analysis is firstly conducted by the classical MDS algorithm. Modified MDS algorithm and subspace method are presented in localization application. We also depicted the unified framework and general solutions of MDS methods. However, the least square solutions under this framework are not optimal. Their performance is still related to selection of coordinate reference points. To address this problem, a minimum residual MDS algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to derive a new solution for indoor robot localization under the unified framework. The result of analysis indicates that the performance of minimum residual MDS method is immune to selection of reference points. Furthermore, the localization accuracy for indoor robot has been enhanced by 41% as compared with the classical MDS algorithm.

We will review the application of multidimensional scaling models and methods in the geography from 1960 to 1990 briefly. Multidimensional scaling models and methods have been developed and applied in the many research fields, such as psychology and behavioral sciences. In the geography, multidimensional scaling methods have been used as one of methods of metric analysis and method for analyzing the human behavior. Methods for preference data have been used as method for assessment of land usage. The characteristics in these applications is that the obtained configurations are compared with the actual geographical location of cities and other market areas. We also review the asymmetric multidimensional scaling model, which are based on the modified distance model.
