Abstract

Waste management has become a pressing environmental issue in Banjarbaru City, with increased waste generation due to population growth and economic activities. This study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of waste generation, composition, and community behavior in waste management. The research method was quantitative, with sampling based on the SNI 19-3964-1994 standard. Primary data was collected through a survey of 112 households and questionnaire-based interviews. Analysis was conducted using the chi-square test to identify the relationship between behavioral variables and waste generation. The results showed that the average daily waste generation reached 4.91 kg for wet and 2.80 kg for dry waste. Wet waste is dominated by organic waste, while dry waste comprises plastic and paper. An analysis of community behavior shows that only 20% of respondents actively separate organic and inorganic waste. Implementing programs such as waste banks helps reduce the burden on landfills, but infrastructure and community awareness challenges remain. Statistically, no significant relationship was found between community behavior in waste handling/management at the household level and the amount of waste generated, with p-values ranging from 0.099 to 1.000 (=5%). The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of collaboration between government, community, and technology to create effective and sustainable waste management

Abstract

Landfills are a critical component of urban solid waste management systems; however, when inadequately managed, they may pose substantial risks to environmental quality and public health in surrounding communities. This study aimed to analyze environmental quality and public health risks in the vicinity of the Banjarbakula Landfill. A descriptive–analytic cross-sectional design was employed, integrating measurements of ambient air quality, groundwater quality, and soil quality at selected locations around the landfill with a community health survey. Risk analysis was conducted using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control (HIRADC) method. The results indicated that concentrations of landfill gases and airborne particulates exceeded environmental quality standards, while groundwater and soil samples were contaminated with heavy metals, including lead, mercury, and cadmium. The community health survey revealed a high prevalence of respiratory disorders, skin diseases, and gastrointestinal disturbances, particularly among residents living closer to the landfill site. Risk assessment identified chemical and biological hazards as the dominant risks, classified as high risk. These findings demonstrate that the management of the Banjarbakula Landfill still requires significant improvements to reduce environmental degradation and public health risks. This study provides a scientific basis for strengthening policy implementation, enhancing landfill management technologies, and improving public health protection in communities surrounding landfill areas.
