Geographical Information System Mapping of Temporary Landfills Using the Haversine Formula Method Based on Android

Abstract

The potential for waste generation at Merauke district with population at 223,389 people reaches 111.69 tons per day. Moreover at the city of Merauke it self with population at 98,986 people, the potential for waste generation is 49.99 tons per day. However, the number of customers recorded up to 2019 is 6,428 customers, with the potential for waste generated to be only 2.88 tonnes per day. This figure is of course still very less than the total potential for existing waste generation, therefore we need a system that can help and make it easier for people to find, find out the information on the nearest dump and the distance to be traveled. The Geographical Information System for temporary landfill mapping uses the Android- based Haversine Formula method, the design uses Eclipse with the Java programming language, and the database uses MySQL. The results that obtained from this application were the system can map the closest dump, provide information on the condition of the dump and can display the distance between the start point and the dump so it can help the public to finding the information.
