Hierarchy Process

Depending on the technical, institutional, economic and social limits of developing countries, as well as the population density in cities, nowadays, the volume of urban waste has increased considerably, and the management of this waste contributes to climate change, and air pollution, it directly affects many ecosystems and many species. Waste management faces serious problems such as irregular collection, informal sweeping activities, uncontrolled dumping and proliferation of illegal dumping. The latter constitute a real and permanent threat to the quality of life, this exponential increase in the urban population and the resulting accelerated phenomenon of urbanization have highlighted the need to develop sustainable and efficient waste management systems. Stakeholders are therefore required to consider alternative and available means of disposal, in particular by minimizing the damage caused to the ecosystem and to the human population, among these means of disposal, controlled landfills, considered as the last option in the waste hierarchy. In this study, attempts were made to locate a new landfill in Oum Azza using the AHP multi-criteria decision-making method to assess the different criteria considered during the prospecting and combining them with the geographic information system to acquire the results in the form of maps displayed on the optimal sites to house a new controlled landfill and minimize its terrible impact on the environment.

Road lighting information is an important record in road network databases. It has been frequently observed that such data are either missing or not updated due to the high data collection cost using traditional methods. This paper presents a new methodology for identifying and (or) resolving missing and conflicting road lighting data in road network databases. The methodology is based on: (i) integrating the single-line road network (SLRN) in a geographic information system format with a road network database and (ii) integrating the SLRN with a collision database. Missing and conflicting lighting data are resolved using a semi-automatic method for extracting streetlight pole information. The integrated system can also identify inconsistencies related to short segments and segments with mixed illumination characteristics. Inconsistencies in the traffic volume database were also examined and the effect of data inconsistency on safety performance functions was evaluated. The proposed methodology represents an inexpensive, efficient tool for improving the quality of road network databases and associated road safety analysis.

Sesuai dengan undang-undang berkaitan dengan kesehatan yaitu undang-undang nomor 36 tahun 2009 menyatakan dengan jelas yaitu anggaran untuk kesehatan merupakan 5% dari anggaran pendapatan dan belanja negara (APBN). Untuk itu perhatian dan kepedulian pemerintah menjadi sangan penting untuk dilakukan baik pemerintah tingkat nasional, provinsi, kabupaten, kecamatan atau bahkan pemeritnah tingkat kelurahan. Salah satu sektor yang patut diperhatikan yaitu sektor pencegahan berkaitan dengan penyakit malaria. Namun untuk melakukan pencegahan tersebut membutuhkan data yang valid serta aktual. Untuk itu di dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengembangan sistem informasi geografis penderita malaria sebagai salah satu cara dalam penyajian informasi untuk penanggulangan oleh pemerintah. Dalam proses pengembangan sistem informasi geografis digunakan waterfall seabgai metode pengembangan dengan tahapan communication, planning, modeling, construction, dan deployment. Sistem informasi geografis yang dihasilkan memiliki fitur yang dapat menyajikan data pendertia malaria dengan atribut nama, jenis Malaria, RT, alamat, telepon dan lama menderita malaria dan telah dilakukan pengujian. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan semua komponen dapat berfungsi dengan baik.   Kata kunci: SIG, Penderita Malaria, Waterfall     Abstract  By the law relating to health, namely law number 36 of 2009 states clearly that the budget for health constitutes 5% of the state budget (APBN). For this reason, the attention and concern of the government become very important to be carried out either at the national, provincial, district, sub-district, or even village level government. One sector that needs attention is the prevention sector related to malaria. But to do this, prevention requires valid and actual data. For this reason, in this research, the development of a geographic information system for malaria sufferers was carried out as a way of presenting information for countermeasures by the government. In the process of developing a geographic information system, a waterfall used as a method of development with stages of communication, planning, modelling, construction, and deployment. The resulting geographic information system has a feature that can present supplementary malaria data with the attribute name, type of malaria, RT, address, telephone, and duration of disease and has tested. The test results show all components can function correctly.  Keywords: GIS, Malaria sufferers, Waterfall
