Mapping and analysis of temporary waste shelters using geographic information systems in Kambu District, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, 2024

Background: Kendari City as one of the largest waste contributing cities in Southeast Sulawesi Province is also the capital area of Southeast Sulawesi Province. Data from the Kendari City Environment and Forestry Agency in 2017, calculated that the amount of waste managed at the Kendari City Final Disposal Site (TPA) was 43.2 thousand tons, then in 2018 it was 47.4 thousand tons, in 2019 it was 46.5 thousand tons, in 2020 it was 55.4 thousand tons, and until August 2021 the waste managed in the Kendari City Landfill was 44.4 thousand tons. Methods: A research method with a descriptive observational approach where the researcher conducted a field survey and plotted coordinates with GPS, as well as measuring waste generation in respondents. The data were processed and analyzed spatially and normatively standards, then described as the Place and Time of the Research. Results: The results of the study showed that the distribution of the population in the Kambu Village area was 7,114 or (30.51%) while the lowest was in the Mokoau Village area of 5,063 or (21.72%). The Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS) of Kambu District are dominated by unofficial polling stations of 29 places, while the official polling stations are 3 places. Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is that the existence of Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS) is very influential in areas with high population density. The imbalance in the number and distribution of polling stations in dense areas leads to the accumulation of garbage, increases the risk of environmental pollution, and interferes with public health.
