Synopsis
According to Florian (2006) Indonesia has 12.60% of the peatland forest, but only
0.2% of the water in Indonesian forests that become source of pure water. Otherwise, the
necessary of pure water are increase but stock of water resources in the world are decrease.
We know that there are many ways to purify water. The peat swamp water purification have
been used filtration and photochemical process but the utilization of activated charcoals to
purify peat swamp water are still minimum. The utilization of activated charcoals as an
adsorbent also act as filter to purify water, especially peat swamps water.
Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been activated by a substance that has high
adsorption power. Activated charcoal is able to absorb anions, cations and molecules in the
form of organic or inorganic compounds as a solution or gas (Pari 1996). In the industrial
world, activated charcoals are very necessary because it is able to adsorb odor, color, gas and
metals (Djatmiko et al 1985).
An efficient and cost-effective technology that use natural resources available for
separating organic contaminants from water sources is very needed. So, it is necessary to
develop several attempts to purify peat swamps water that scattered throughout the territory
of Indonesia. The research about a purifier on pear swamp water are an effort to provide
information for further study.

1. C. Achievement of the goal, holistic and effective.
2. A. Identification and analisiskebutuhan, formulation of objectives, formulation of the
problem, identification and modeling systems for the formulation of alternative solutions.
3. C. The system analysis, system synthesis, system design, and system control.
4. C. Both types of decision-making attention to aspects of uncertainty. Pertimabangan
rational decisions based on logical and measurable dala formulating his decision, while more
intuitive decisions based on intuition decision making it difficult to trace.
5. B. Input and output taraget is clear, while the process should dirancanguntuk reach an
output target by observing variations and input.
C.2. Answer briefly!
1. The components making up the definition of the system is the goal or sub-goals, elements,
and interaction.
2. Four levels of decision-making:
-Direktif: Characteristically strategic direction that is sometimes intuitive.
- Strategic: Can not programmed for preferansi decision makers need to be signed in their
entirety.
- Tactical: Can be made with the input preference program decision makers.
- Operations: Can be made program for repetitive.
3. Strategic decisions are decisions that have a long period of time with a dynamic
environment and influencing factors with certainty very low, and properties can not be
programmed because of the preference decision makers need to be signed in their entirety.
4. The main components of a system:
- Input: composed of environmental inputs, input controlled and uncontrolled input.
- Process: consists of the design model making.
- Output: composed of output desired and undesired output.
- Management control control.
5. A systems approach can be applied if an organization has the basic properties of a
system that includes the achievement of the objectives are clear, the concept of synergy
within the organization, the openness of the environment, the nature of the transformation, as
well as control mechanisms.
