Histosol is a sub-optimal soil containing high lignocellulose resulting in its lower decomposition rate. To improve Histosol decomposition, the application of Excelzyme was used. The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the decomposition rate of lignocellulose of histosol treated with Excelzyme; and (2) to determine the best dosage of Excelzyme for the growth and yield of sweet corn. The study has been conducted at the University of Bengkulu Research Station, from July to November 2021. This experiment was designed in randomized completely block design, involving dosages of Excelzyme i.e. E0 = 0 ml plot-1; E1 = 1,000 ml plot-1; E2 = 1,500 ml plot-1; and E3 = 2,000 ml plot-1. The plot size was 2 m x 3 m, and all treatments were repeated 3 times. Results of the study showed that Excelzyme application affects the rate of histosol decomposition showed by decreasing lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose compared with the untreated Histosol. The best dosage of Excelzyme was 2.000 ml plot-1 that decrease lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose content by 32.69 %, 24,43 %, and 5.80 % in the upper 0 – 15 cm respectively compared to the untreated Histosol. While in the 15 – 30 cm depth, lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose decrease by 25,92 %, 21.11 %, and 7.05 % respectively, compared with the untreated histosol. The application of Excelzyme of various dosages was not significantly affecting soil pH at both depths as well as sweet corn growth and yield.

Transit Oriented Development is a concept that is used as a tool to plan a compact area. Despite the growing interest in TOD research, there has yet to be a comprehensive review of the knowledge structure, research hotspots, and emerging trends regarding TOD research. This study tries to fill this gap based on data from Scopus, which is visualized with VosViewer, which will get trends and hotspots in TOD. The main objective of this study is to synthesize a collection of literature on TOD, typology, and travel demand, examine publication trends and topic patterns around TOD and travel demand, and visualize the interrelationships between authors, topics, sources, and geography. The results showed a significant increase in TOD research publication, with most articles published in the United States and China. The most productive authors are Cervero, Ewing, and Bertolini. Four hotspots of the frontier are determined by analysing the keywords of development-oriented model, typology, travel demand, and travel behaviour.
