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.

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

Introduction: It is generally accepted that cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered as an important health problem all over the world which is caused by leishmaniasis protozoan. This disease is also known as a health problem in some regions of Iran including Bushehr province. The present study investigated the geographical dispersion and the epidemiological characteristics of subjects with the cutaneous leishmaniasis in this province from 2011 to 2015. Method: In this cross-sectional and analytical study, the epidemiologic data including the age, gender, residential area, and counties with this disease was analyzed and collected from 663 patients who were followed up and treated from 2011 to 2015. Results: 422 (63.7%) of studied people were residents of urban areas and 241 (36.3%) lived in rural areas. 59.4% (394 people) were male and 40.6% (269) were female. The mean age of the subjects was 21.91± 17.01 (ranging from 1 to 80). Kangan County with an average 5-year incidence of 17.72 per a hundred thousand people had the highest incidence, but Tangestan County with the incidence of 8.47 per a hundred thousand people had the lowest average incidence. Based on GIS results, Jam County, which was not recognized as the focus of this disease in the past, has been considered as a new focus of disease in recent years. Conclusion: The geographic information system (GIS) is regarded as an effective tool for the organization of diseases and health data. The crisis can be identified and controlled by taking proper measures with the discovery of spatial accumulation of diseases.
