THE UTILIZATION OF GEO VISUALIZA THE UTILIZATION OF GEO VISUALIZATION TO DETERMINE THE FINAL WASTE DISPOSAL LOCATIONS IN BANYUMAS REGENCY

ABSTRACT   The increasing population in Banyumas Regency has consequently impacted on the increasing amount of waste to manage. The old final waste disposal places are no longer capable to hold the amount of waste produced by the people of Banyumas Regency. Thus, Banyumas Regency has recently been in the emergency state dealing with its waste management. Banyumas Regency requires new final waste disposal locations since the old ones are no longer feasible. Thus, it is required to find new final waste disposal locations. This research employed a descriptive method with a spatial approach. The geographic information system (GIS) was performed to determine the final waste disposal locations by using the weighing and scoring method followed with the overlay maps. Those maps included the administrative map, river map, land-use map, waste-risk area map, flood-prone-area, landslide-prone area, earthquake-prone-area, fault map, slope map, rainfall map, and population density map. The results of this research show that the alternative final waste disposal locations in Banyumas Regency are best located in Kalibagor district covering the areas of Srowot, Kalisorga Wetan, Petir, and Pajerukan Village; while in Purwojati district covering the area of Purwojati and Karangtalun Kidul Village.   Keywords: spatial analysis, Final Waste Disposal, waste
