Solid waste is a waste generated every day. The amount of solid waste generation depends on the total area of housing and services, the area of the places, and activities. The increase in population, housing and services in the area has resulted in the generation of solid waste. The solid waste should be disposed of to prevent the spread of disease and to keep the environment clean. Normally, solid waste will be disposed of in landfill sites. In four districts in Negeri Sembilan that is Jelebu, Jempol, Kuala Pilah and Tampin, the existing landfill in these areas have reached semi-critical status and the capacity is about to reach the maximum level. Therefore, this study was undertaken to proposed the most ideal and effective new solid waste landfill based on the distribution of housing in an area using the Geographic Information System (GIS). GIS serves as a hardware device that stores information and databases of the area and analyzes data to produce the output required by the user. In addition, this study was conducted to investigate and determine the criteria and weighting factors taken into account in determining the location of landfill sites. In addition, this study also conducted to identify the optimization of disposal of solid waste and the type of new landfill proposed. Some analyzes such as Analysis Geoprocessing, Model Builder, OD Cost Matrix, Network Analyst and Service Area has been carried out to obtain an ideal location to serve as a solid waste disposal site. Based on the analysis, the new landfill can cover 242 of housing areas within 25 kilometers from the landfill compared to the existing landfill that only covered 165 of housing areas only. Finally, the siting of the landfill using GIS application is the best system in helping the user to determine the new landfill in such a fastest way.

Regional feasibility analysis of landfill locations based on the environmental geology point is the initial selection in the planning of landfill sites. This research aims to assess the regional feasibility zones for landfill site in Palangka Raya city based on the environmental aspects. Observational examination and spatial analysis using geographic information system (GIS) were applied to ascertain the determination and limitation factors. The result shows that Palangka Raya could be categorized into 3 (three) zones in terms of its feasibility for the landfill area. Unsuitable zone covering an area of 165,936.69 hectares or 58.12% of total area, followed by a moderately suitable zone of 782.25 hectares (32.85%), and least suitable zone of 25,788.88 hectares (9.03%). The infeasible ones are located in districts of Sebangau and Pahandut, and some parts of Jekan Raya.

<p>Erupsi Gunungapi Merapi tahun 2010 mengakibatkan banyak korban jiwa, kerusakan aset dan kerugian di berbagai bidang. Untuk meminimalkan korban jiwa, kerusakan dan kerugian, diperlukan upaya pengurangan risiko bencana (PRB). Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan adalah program desa bersaudara (<em>sister village</em>) yang digagas oleh Pemerintah Kabupaten Magelang melalui Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD). Program desa bersaudara ini bertujuan agar ada kepastian tempat pengungsian, mengurangi kesemrawutan proses pengungsian serta memudahkan pelayanan pengungsi. Program ini dapat memanfaatan Sistem Informasi Geografis/<em>Geographic Information System</em> (GIS) yang berbasis web (<em>WebGIS</em>). <em>WebGIS</em> mampu mendiseminasikan peta yang dihasilkan dalam program desa bersaudara, misalnya peta jalur evakuasi. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mendiskripsikan pemanfataan <em>WebGIS</em> dalam mendukung program desa bersaudara, dengan mengambil kasus di Desa Ngargomulyo (desa rawan bencana) dan Desa Tamanagung (desa penyangga/ penerima pengungsi). Metodenya adalah memaparkan proses pemetaan jalur evakuasi. Proses penyusunan peta tersebut terbagi empat tahap:   survei lapangan, penyiapan data spasial, coding dan publikasi. Hasilnya adalah tampilan peta jalur evakuasi yang bisa diakses oleh siapapun tanpa menggunakan aplikasi GIS yang memudahkan masyarakat pengungsi, penerima pengungsi, pemerintah maupun parapihak, mengetahui asal pengungsi, jalur evakuasi dan titik pengungsian. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemetaan <em>WebGIS</em> dapat mendukung upaya PRB dengan keunggulan bisa dijangkau pengguna secara sangat luas.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Kata kunci</strong>: desa bersaudara, <em>sister village</em>, pemetaan jalur evakuasi, <em>gis</em>, <em>webgis</em></p>

District of West Padang which is the area closest to the coast and has a high population. Therefore a geographic information system was created using the A-Star Algorithm method. The A-Star algorithm uses the closest distance estimation to reach a goal and has a heuristic value that is used as a basis for consideration. In this system there are alternative paths and show the amount of capacity and distance from the shelter to be addressed.
