Abstract

The rapid development of urban areas in Indonesia is in line with the increase in population and is proportional to the waste produced. This problem is not accompanied by the provision of comparable facilities and infrastructure by the government, resulting in suboptimal services and a decline in environmental quality, especially in the problem of waste transportation. One solution to the waste problem is the provision of Temporary Storage Places (TPS). Optimizing location placement is one part of optimization. Location determination problems are included in the SCP classification. The SCP model consists of the Covering Based Problem (CBP) and Median Based Problem (MBP) models. The Covering Based Problem model is interconnected from the Set Covering Location Problem (SCLP), Maximal Covering Location Problem (MCLP), and p-Center Location Problem and Median Based Problem model groups which have a p-Median Problem solution model. This research was conducted in Alang - Alang Lebar District, Palembang City. The research results obtained are a comparison of the optimal locations of the CBP and MBP models.
