Abstract

Abstract. Wakatobi is the center of the worlds coral triangle with its rich marine biodiversity. Aside from being a conservation area, Wakatobi is also a tourist destination that is demanded to be able to maintain the quality of its environment. One of its challenges is solid waste management. Wangi-Wangi Island is an urban area of Wakatobi that requires attention in solid waste management. Nowadays, the handling of solid waste in this area only covers 54%. Waste collection and transportation systems have not been through good planning. In addition, the limited facilities and the lack of operational costs are the causes of low coverage handling services. This study aims to analyze the system of collecting and transporting to make solid waste management efficient on Wangi-Wangi Island. The research methodologies were conducted by surveying the existing patterns, analyzing the system by transforming the collection pattern and selecting the best transportation route using GIS. The results were obtained by changing the pattern of solid waste transportation from direct to indirect and selected the best route with the fastest travel time. The coverage of solid waste management can be increased by up to 80% with the reduction of transport costs from 46.596 to 31.475 Rupiah/ton.
