Abstract

Waste is one of the biggest problems faced in almost all countries in the world including Indonesia, especially for the archipelago. Saponda Darat Island is located at 3^o58^46^ S dan 122^o45^44^ second E in Soropia, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. As a small island, the population on the Saponda Darat Island is quite dense. According to the headman, the population is 1,613 inhabitants with 486 households. The lack of waste management on this island causes a large amount of waste on the land and in the sea around the island. The objective of this study is to develop a waste management system based on geospatial information in the Saponda Darat Island as the effort to solve the waste problems based on the economic aspect. The analysis is carried out spatially by utilizing remote sensing satellite data to determine the main garbage dump on the island and to determine the efficient waste transportation routes from the mainland. The result of this study are in the form of technical recommendations for waste management in small island areas, a map of the main garbage dumps and a map of the transportation route for transporting the waste.
