Planning A Village Waste Management System using System Dynamics Modelling and Simulation: TPS 3R Case Study in Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract

The increasing amount of waste every year leads to the increasing capacity load and the decreasing life cycle of the landfill. In Banda Aceh, the official landfill is no longer able to accommodate garbage by 2018. Thus, in order to reduce the load on the landfill, waste reduction activities from sources must be conducted as mandated in the constitution UU No.18 2008. TPS 3R (Waste Processing Facility Reduce Reuse Recycle) is introduced by Ministry of Public Works as a waste management system from its source in villages. It has been planned to be built at several points in Banda Aceh villages, including Rukoh. In order to achieve the target of waste reduction according to Permen PU No.3 2013 and the Government of Aceh by 30% in 2020, the appropriate TPS 3R specification is required to achieve such number. In this research, system dynamics modelling and simulation using software Stella Architect used to develop the best-case scenario for waste management system in Rukoh Village in the form of TPS 3R. The main result is that the facility should be built with combination of 1 unit of composter, 2 units of plastic counters, and minimum participation of 131 households.
