Abstract
Solid waste management is among the most popular urban environmental problems in many developing countries due to increasing urban, economic, and industrial activities. Indonesia is a developing country with many coastal settlements, such as Makassar City. This study aims to determine Waste Management on the coast of Makassar City, namely the "Kawasan Pelabuhan", a slum settlement. An investigation was carried out regarding waste generation, storage, and collection. The population of this study was 119 houses/households consisting of permanent and semi-permanent houses partially built over the sea on the coast. The method used in this research is quantitative and qualitative. The analysis results show that the volume of waste generated is around 58% organic and 42% inorganic, with an average of 1.8 kg per household for organic waste and 1.31 kg for inorganic waste. Most houses use individual bins; only houses on the main road get communal collection and storage services.
