Landfill Galuga Post-Disaster, Bogor
Disaster that recently occurred at the landfill (Landfill) Galuga Bogor might be prevented, if the technical aspects and work ethic more attention. Waste landslide disaster is similar in Leuwigajah Bandung several years ago. Daily workplace accidents can also occur due to impatience scavengers in getting the new garbage that is poured out of the garbage truck. The low quality of the physical plant at the landfill can also contribute.
To prevent accidents happening again in the future, then needed a variety of rules. These rules start from the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for the scavengers, so that the pattern of their work efficiently, safely, and at the same time get a larger volume of waste that can be recycled.
The second is the SOP for the physical buildings in the area of the landfill. And third, for the long term, the SOP required to seek an ideal landfill.
One of the technologies that can be used to find the location of this landfill is the geomatics technology. Geomatics technology involves data from remote sensing (remote sensing), multi-criteria analysis with geographic information system (GIS) and positioning with GPS. Ideal landfill must consider not only the capacity of waste land that can accommodate so many years into the future, but also physical and social environmental factors that support.
Determination of solid waste landfill that is now being built in Bogor is in the region Nambo. If it can be operated, there is a possibility Galuga will be closed. New question that arises is where the landfill is ideal for the western region of Bogor Regency? The following figure is the result of research by a grant from the Price of Higher Education. This image can be further reviewed at a more detailed scale, so that in Bogor, west, precisely in Cigudeg-grown, can be prepared the location of TPA / TPST a much greater capacity.
