| Abstract | Managing urban environment is a challenging task due to complex and dynamics relationship among urban built environment, urban natural environment and human activities. Solid waste issue is one example of such relationship. It has been argued that a reliable tool to predict the generation of solid waste in urban area is necessary to support decision making on solid waste management. Choosing South Jakarta Municipality as the study area, the study started from the premise that there are relationships among urban spatial factors, urban demographic factors, and solid waste generation. Thus, the study tried to model those relationships in order to develop a tool to predict solid waste generation in the study area. There were two steps of model development in the study. The first step was the development of model for the dynamics of urban growth using the Analytic Network Process technique and GIS-based cellular automata model to follow the development pattern of the city. The next step was the development of model for solid waste generation based on the dynamics of urban growth. Basically, the model has tried to correlate demographic process, solid waste generation per capita and dynamic changes of urban land use with total volume of solid waste generation in the study area. As the final result, the model was presumed to be able to represent the value of solid waste generation in South Jakarta Municipality. The premise was presumed that has been proven since the research could explain the relationship among urban spatial factors, urban demographic factors and solid waste generation through modeling. Improvement of solid waste management in the municipality as the long-term objective would be possible since the model provided potential applications to support decision making for both land use planning and solid waste management. Further study regarding improvement of land use modeling and comprehensive method for projecting municipal solid waste have been recommended as well as further elaboration of other potential applications of the model. |
