Determining Suitable Locations for Regional Waste Final Processing Site (WFP) Using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) (Case Study: Malang City and Malang Regency)

Garbage or waste is basically a residual material resulting from human activities and natural processes that have no economic value anymore. The volume of waste in Malang City and Malang Regency every year always increases, so the existing waste final processing site will no longer be able to accommodate the pile of garbage. Therefore the Malang City Government plans to collaborate with the Malang Regency Government in making an integrated regional waste landfill and processing site. In this study, an analysis of the determination of the appropriate location for regional waste final processing for Malang City and Malang Regency was carried out using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The SAW method is a weighted summation method, which can make a more precise assessment, based on the predetermined criteria and preference weights. Preference weights were determined by pairwise comparison method. The criteria used are geological hazardous areas, distance from drinking water sources, land slope level, distance from settlements, protected areas and distance from airports. The final result in this study is a map of the appropriate location for a regional waste final processing site and an analysis of the location for the best regional final processing site. The location map is classified into three, namely: not feasible with a total area of 54,774.33 ha, less feasible with a total area of 170,846.49 ha and feasible with a total area of 130,096.63 ha.

Spatial Distribution and Geographical Mechanism of Natural Resources in China under the Orientation of the New Economic Demands

The demand structure of resources for new economy is different from the traditional one in that its development may significantly change China’s economic location map and spatial pattern. Based on 343 administrative units of prefecture-level cities in China, this research constructs the measurement index system of terrestrial surface natural resources under the orientation of the new economic demands; this research mainly analyses the spatial distribution characteristics and geographical mechanism of natural resources by means of the spatial autocorrelation and spatial similarity calculation methods. The results show that: (1) The structure and endowment of natural resources under the orientation of the new economic demands need to be reexamined. The significance of a good environment and ecological resources has been highlighted. The coupling of resource elements better reveals the availability of natural resources. (2) The natural resources decrease from southeast to northwest, showing a pattern of “abundant in the south and east and scarce in the north and west”. Natural resources have a significant positive correlation in spatial distribution with two types of agglomeration: high-high agglomeration and low-low agglomeration, showing the local agglomeration feature of “high in the south and low in the north”. (3) Natural factors such as temperature, precipitation and altitude affect the spatial distribution of natural resources, with the temperature being the most significant. This indicates that the original natural environment and its role are the geographical mechanism for the formation and distribution of natural resources. The results could provide a reference for the development and the optimization of China’s new economy.

TIPOLOGI MOTIF TELAPAK TANGAN DI SITUS GUA ANAWAI, KABUPATEN KONAWE UTARA PROVINSI SULAWESI TENGGARA

This research was conducted at Anawai Cave Site, located in Bendewuta Village, Oheo District, North Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This study aims to determine the typology of handprint motifs in the Anawai Cave Site. The primary data collection method was carried out by field observations by making a site location map, recording rock image data. The map of this site location was processed with the Geographic Information System (GIS) method and using of ArcMap 10.7. Besides, The rock art images are processed using the Image J and Adobe Illustrator software to sharpen the colors of the mages that have been damaged. Data were classified using taxonomic methods to produce a typology of handprint motifs. The results showed that the most dominant form of hand stamp motifs was the hand stamp without wrist or arm.

Localization of Flying Bats from Multichannel Audio Signals by Estimating Location Map with Convolutional Neural Networks

We propose a method that uses ultrasound audio signals from a multichannel microphone array to estimate the positions of flying bats. The proposed model uses a deep convolutional neural network that takes multichannel signals as input and outputs the probability maps of the locations of bats. We present experimental results using two ultrasound audio clips of different bat species and show numerical simulations with synthetically generated sounds.
