Assessment of Potential Landfill Sites and Route Optimization in Kendal Regency, Indonesia Utilizing Geographic Information Systems
Journal Title: Journal of Urban Development and Management - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Kendal Regency faces significant challenges concerning the management of solid waste due to the constraints of its only landfill, Darupono Baru, which is situated adjacent to the environmentally sensitive Pagerwunung Nature Reserve. Recent assessments have indicated that the landfill has suffered from landslides on its northern and western flanks. The regency generates approximately 410 tons of waste daily, while the landfill's operational capacity is limited to 150 tons per day, leading to predictions of overload by 2027. In light of these issues, this study employed overlay scoring techniques and network analysis, specifically the fastest route methodology, in accordance with the standards set forth in SNI No. 03-3241-1994, to identify potential new landfill sites across a total area of 2,566 hectares within the regency. Six sites were identified as viable candidates: Gebangan Village in Pageruyung District, Kalibareng Village in Patean District, Kedungasri Village in Ringinarum District, Kalices Village in Patean District, Sojomerto Village in Gemuh District, and Singorojo Village in Singorojo District. The evaluation process employed elimination assessments, which rated Kedungasri Village the highest with a score of 548 out of a maximum of 690, while Singorojo Village received the lowest score of 393. The existing Darupono Baru landfill was found to score 424 out of 690, meeting only 5 out of the 10 assessment criteria established for new sites. Additionally, it was noted that Kendal Regency operates 155 temporary waste disposal sites and maintains 44 waste collection routes, which include 8 routes for tricycles, 20 for armrolls, and 16 for dump trucks. This study contributes valuable insights into waste management strategies and landfill site selection in Kendal Regency, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the context of increasing waste generation.
