Introduction

Analisis pengelolaan sampah dan ketersediaan infrastruktur tempat pembuangan sementara (tps) di kota gorontalo. Analisis pengelolaan sampah dan infrastruktur TPS di Kota Gorontalo. Temukan tantangan volume sampah, keterbatasan tempat pembuangan sementara, dan dampaknya pada lingkungan.

Abstract

Effective waste management remains a major challenge in urban areas, including Kota Selatan Subdistrict, Gorontalo City, which is experiencing an increase in waste volume due to population growth and economic activities. Infrastructure limitations, particularly in the availability of Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS), have resulted in waste accumulation and pose a risk of increased environmental pollution. This research aims to analyze the volume of waste generation, evaluate the existing conditions of TPS, ad assess the capacity of infrastructure in handling waste in Kota Selatan Subdistrict, Gorontalo City. This research employs a quantitative analysis method combined with field surveys focusing on waste volume and the availability of Temporary Disposal Site (TPS) infrastructure in Kota Selatan Subdistrict. Data collection involved direct observation, recording of waste volume generated, interviews with waste management officials, and sampling following the procedures established in SNI 19-3964-1994. The results indicate that the total volume of waste in Kota Selatan Subdistrict reaches 111,03 m3/day, with contributions from residential sources at 6,01% and non-residential sources at 93,99%. The availability of TPS infrastructure is highly limited, with only two (2) functioning container units out of the ideal requirement of approximately 19 units. The percentage of waste successfully transported reaches 82,95% of the total daily waste generation, leaving about 17,05% uncollected. Meanwhile, the waste transport frequency achievement in the research area stands at 82,64% of the targeted frequency.

Review

This paper addresses a highly pertinent and critical urban environmental issue: waste management, specifically focusing on the challenges posed by inadequate infrastructure for Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS) in Gorontalo City. The research clearly articulates its objectives, aiming to quantify waste generation, evaluate existing TPS conditions, and assess infrastructure capacity within the Kota Selatan Subdistrict. The chosen methodology, employing a quantitative analysis combined with robust field surveys and adherence to the national standard SNI 19-3964-1994, suggests a systematic and rigorous approach to data collection and analysis, which is commendable for its potential to yield reliable and actionable insights. The relevance of this study to sustainable urban development and public health cannot be overstated. The abstract effectively presents a concise yet impactful summary of the key findings, highlighting the severity of the waste management problem in the study area. The quantification of daily waste volume (111.03 m3/day) and its source breakdown (overwhelmingly non-residential at 93.99%) provides crucial data for targeted interventions. Most strikingly, the research reveals a dramatic shortfall in TPS infrastructure, with only two functioning units against an ideal requirement of nineteen, directly contributing to a significant portion (17.05%) of daily waste remaining uncollected. Furthermore, the suboptimal waste transport frequency (82.64% achievement) underscores systemic inefficiencies. These concrete quantitative results offer a compelling evidence base, making a strong case for urgent intervention and policy adjustments. While the abstract provides a solid foundation by meticulously quantifying the problem, a comprehensive full paper would ideally expand on certain aspects. An expert review would anticipate a deeper exploration into the *root causes* behind the severe infrastructure deficit – such as budgetary constraints, urban planning oversights, or policy implementation gaps. Moreover, while the focus is on TPS, the full discussion should consider broader waste management strategies, including opportunities for recycling, composting, or waste-to-energy initiatives, beyond just collection and disposal. The findings lay excellent groundwork for practical recommendations, and the full paper should leverage these quantitative insights to propose specific, feasible solutions for improving waste management and infrastructure in Gorontalo City, and potentially serve as a valuable case study for other urban areas facing similar challenges.
