Rattan is a natural wealth that can be utilized for making of household furniture, office furniture, handycraft and others. One rattan production center is a special economic area of ??Palu city where the raw materials of rattan can be obtained from several regencies in Central Sulawesi, and the nearest province such as West Sulawesi and Gorontalo. In 2011, the government adopted a policy of prohibiting the export of all types of raw rattan to foreign countries so that the need for raw materials of rattan in the country should increase. The reality in Central Sulawesi actually reduced the supply of raw materials of rattan. Therefore, the procurement of raw material terminals is one of alternative to meet the providers of raw materials of rattan. Palu City as one of the Special Economic Zone area in Indonesia became the object of research in the allocation of raw materials as the main terminal of rattan industry in Central Sulawesi. The purpose of this research is to get the model of allocation determination raw materials of rattan for the rattan industry so as to minimize the total cost. Problem solving of allocation model determination by developing model from previous research with Linear Programming (LP) method. The output of this model is to obtain an optimal allocation determination model in the development of the competitiveness of rattan industry in Central Sulawesi. The total cost of the allocation model is the total cost of purchase, the total cost of transportation from source to the raw material terminal, the total cost of storage in the raw material terminal and the total transportation cost from the raw material terminal to the rattan industry center. If the value of the four variables increases then the total cost will also increase, and if the value of the four variables is reduced then total inbound cost will also decrease. Once the linear programming model is run in Premium Solver Platform V9.0 in Microsoft Excel it will be obtained a value that minimizes the total cost and will improve the competitiveness of the rattan industry in Central Sulawesi.

Horizontal (east, centre, west) and vertical (bottom, middle and top) distribution study of plants in Chameli Community Forest was done in 2016 in Chameli Community Forest, which is a small hill facing the North-West with an altitude of 1590 masl and lies in sub-tropical region of Nepal. It occupied an area of 13.16 ha. Herbs are more dominant in bottom, trees in middle and shrubs in top region. The east area of bottom, middle and top region had more diverse vegetation. During the study of Chameli Community Forest, a total of 152 plants (32 trees, 33 shrubs, 11 climbers, 3 epiphytes and 73 herbs) species were collected, identified preserved and listed. Among them 110 dicot species under 49 families and 91 genera; 26 monocot species under 7 families and 21 genera; 15 pteridophyte species under 10 families and 14 genera and one gymnosperm under one family and one genera were recorded. Plants were recorded under 127 genera and 153 species. The forest had 72 percentage dicot plant species followed by least percentage of epiphytes. The dominant species in the forest was Schima wallichi and Rhododendron arboreum. Therefore, the forest was Schima-Rhododendron forest type. Though the forest covered small area, large number of plant species were documented which showed that the forest was highly diversified.

The population in this study is hospitality services business in Central Sulawesi Province which amounts to 127 hotels either active or inactive with the number of samples of 170 respondents of the study. Data collected were tested for validity, reliability and normality test, multicollonearity and heteroscedasticity test. To prove the research hypothesis is done by path analysis (path analysis) and sobel test. The results of the research discussions has been summarized in following points. 1) Budgetary Participation has no significant effect on Leadership Style. 2) Planning has no significant effect on Leadership Style. 3) Control significant effect on Leadership Style. 4) Budgetary Participation has no significant effect on Managerial Performance. 5) Planning has a significant effect on Managerial Performance. 7) Leadership style has significant effect on Managerial Performance. 8) Budgetary Participation has significant influence to Managerial Performance that is mediated by Leadership Style. 9) Planning has significant influence to Performance Managerial-mediated Leadership Style. 10) Control has a significant effect on Managerial Performance-mediated Leadership Style at hospitality services company in Central Sulawesi Province.
