E-Luu : A Smart Dumpsters Location Planning System for Urban Management

Abstract

The increase of population in an area will increase the flow of urbanization occurred in that area. This then brings an impact on the urban infrastructure needs and land use that will rapidly and drastically change. For this, urban planning should be rearranged primarily in relation to the waste issue. Spatial planning of public facilities associated with Temporary Waste Disposal Site (locally abbreviated as TPS) is no longer appropriate to be structured in a traditional way. A simulation system capable of evaluating the feasibility of the location of various public facilities, as a consequence, is required intentionally to minimize the negative impacts of TPS placement. The issue in spatial also occurs in Jembrana District, Bali. In this area the population in the end of December 2016 increased by 19.42%. We developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) based simulation system named E-Luu. This system evaluates the feasibility of the location of public facilities based on the direction and strength of wind and distance from TPS. There are 3 public facilities that can be evaluated by E-Luu, including parks, green areas and residential areas. In addition, an evaluation index has been proposed to evaluate the planned site planning scheme by providing a different staining on each of its markers in which red symbolized the location considered vulnerable and green was for the suggested location. Finally, the E-Luu system used in the location analysis for this urban public service facility was successfully implemented and demonstrated its effectiveness.
