Assessment of Potential Landfill Sites and Route Optimization in Kendal Regency, Indonesia Utilizing Geographic Information Systems
Abstract:
Kendal Regency faces significant challenges concerning the management of solid waste due to the constraints of its only landfill, Darupono Baru, which is situated adjacent to the environmentally sensitive Pagerwunung Nature Reserve. Recent assessments have indicated that the landfill has suffered from landslides on its northern and western flanks. The regency generates approximately 410 tons of waste daily, while the landfill's operational capacity is limited to 150 tons per day, leading to predictions of overload by 2027. In light of these issues, this study employed overlay scoring techniques and network analysis, specifically the fastest route methodology, in accordance with the standards set forth in SNI No. 03-3241-1994, to identify potential new landfill sites across a total area of 2,566 hectares within the regency. Six sites were identified as viable candidates: Gebangan Village in Pageruyung District, Kalibareng Village in Patean District, Kedungasri Village in Ringinarum District, Kalices Village in Patean District, Sojomerto Village in Gemuh District, and Singorojo Village in Singorojo District. The evaluation process employed elimination assessments, which rated Kedungasri Village the highest with a score of 548 out of a maximum of 690, while Singorojo Village received the lowest score of 393. The existing Darupono Baru landfill was found to score 424 out of 690, meeting only 5 out of the 10 assessment criteria established for new sites. Additionally, it was noted that Kendal Regency operates 155 temporary waste disposal sites and maintains 44 waste collection routes, which include 8 routes for tricycles, 20 for armrolls, and 16 for dump trucks. This study contributes valuable insights into waste management strategies and landfill site selection in Kendal Regency, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the context of increasing waste generation.1. Introduction
Waste production increases proportionally with daily community activities and population growth. Rapid urbanization, in addition to increasing resource consumption, also raises the production of both industrial and household waste [1]. According to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2008 about Waste Management, waste can be interpreted as the remnants of daily human activities and/or natural processes in solid form [2]. Waste management in question is the handling and minimization of waste production, which can be achieved by improving service quality, expanding the scope of services, and offering various waste management support services [3]. Local governments often face challenges in choosing a landfill location due to the many elements that need to be considered, including land prices, road difficulties, and other related factors [4].
Kendal Regency only has one landfill in operation, namely the Darupono Baru Landfill, which was built in 2020 and actively started operating in 2022 and is located in Darupono Village, South Kaliwungu District. Previously, Kendal Regency had two landfills that were also located in Darupono Village. Darupono Lama landfill has been closed in 2020 because it is overloaded with garbage so that the garbage appears on the side of the road and causes odors around it. The Darupono Baru Landfill presents an issue for the adjacent Pagarwunung Nature Reserve due to its proximity. In 2024, landslides occurred at the Darupono Baru Landfill in the north and west, causing the waste to spread [5].
Kendal Regency produces up to 410 tons of waste per day, while the Darupono Baru Landfill can only accommodate 150 tons per day. Kendal Regency has a total waste pile of 149,652 tons/year and has only been reused 754 tons/year (0.5%) and waste handling in landfills 59,696 tons/year (39.9%), so that unmanaged waste is 89,202 tons/year (59.6%). It is projected that the Darupono Baru Landfill will be full or overloaded by 2027, as it has a capacity of only 6 years with an area of 8 hectares. It is important to create a new landfill site in Kendal Regency [6].
According to SNI-03-3241-1994, to find out the potential location of the landfill, it is based on three stages of criteria, namely regional criteria, exclusion criteria, and determination criteria. Regional criteria are used in creating potential and non-potential zones. Followed by the exclusion criteria to evaluate the output of the regional criteria. Meanwhile, the determination criteria produce a map by showing the highest potential area [7].
Similar research has been conducted by Kusuma [8] who raised the topic “Analysis of Location Determination and Alternative Routes for Waste Landfills in Temanggung Regency Using Geographic Information Systems”. In previous research conducted by Faisal [9] on “Analysis of Final Disposal Site Location Determination (TPA) in Tidore Islands City” using the GIS method, namely overlay with each parameter given a weight according to its impact on land suitability for landfill locations, the results are 5 locations that have potential. Then in Nahdi's research [10] discussing the “Application of the Spatial Multi Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) Method for Planning the Location of Waste Landfills in Surabaya City”, the most suitable place to plan landfill development is in Benowo and Lakasantri Districts, which have very low, low, medium, high, and very high suitability.
GIS can serve as a valuable tool for analysing potential landfill locations by overlaying data with predetermined parameters. Additionally, GIS can facilitate the analysis of truck travel routes from temporary disposal sites to the landfill through network analysis [11]. This research aims to identify the distribution of potential landfill sites in Kendal Regency by evaluating regional and elimination criteria in accordance with SNI No. 03-3241-1994. Furthermore, it seeks to assess the potential value of the Darupono Baru landfill, as the existing landfill in the regency, and to determine the optimal routes from temporary disposal sites to the proposed alternative landfill locations, consistent with the standards outlined in SNI No. 03-3241-1994.
2. Methodology
This study is divided into several stages: preparation, data collection, and data processing [12], [13]. The data processing stage involves a GIS using QGIS. Stage-1 involves regional analysis to identify potential landfill locations. Then continued Stage-2, namely the analysis of the elimination stage so that the most optimal and potential location for landfills in Kendal Regency was produced. As well as processing data from the Darupono Baru Landfill as a landfill existing in Kendal Regency to see the comparative value with the selected landfill location [7]. Finally, the study determines the route from the temporary disposal sites to the alternative landfill locations based on SNI No. 03-3241-1994.
Kendal Regency at Figure 1 borders the Java Sea to the north. Temanggung is to the south, Batang is to the west, and Semarang City and Semarang Regency are to the east. The study was conducted in Kendal Regency, located in Central Java, Indonesia. The location of Kendal Regency is at 109°40' — 110°18′ East Longitude and 6°32' — 7°24' South Latitude. Kendal Regency has a total area of 1,006.47 km2 divided into 20 sub-districts with 266 villages and 20 urban villages. The distance from West to East is 40 km, and from North to South is 36 km. The elevation ranges between 0 and 2,579 meters above sea level [5].
Kendal Regency has a total waste pile of 149,652 tons/year and has only been reused 754 tons/year (0.5%), and waste handling at the landfill is 59,696 tons/year (39.9%), so there is 89,202 tons/year (59.6%) of unmanaged waste. It is predicted that in 2027 the Darupono Baru Landfill will be full or overloaded because it only has a capacity of 6 years with an area of 8 hectares. This is important to create a new landfill location in Kendal Regency [6].
Data collection involved conducting interviews and requesting relevant data for the research. An interview was conducted with the Kendal Regency Environment Office to find out the condition of waste and landfills, temporary disposal sites, and its relationship with the potential value of landfill selection in Kendal Regency. Furthermore, to the Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning Kendal Regency Office to request data based on the required parameters in accordance with SNI 03-3241-1994. There are two types of data used in this study, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data was carried out by interviews and observations for data collection of potential landfill locations in Kendal Regency, such as road conditions to the location, transportation, biological conditions, agriculture, and visualization documentation about landfills. Observations were also conducted at the temporary disposal sites to determine the cubic meter (m³) capacity that each site can accommodate. In accordance with Table 1, the secondary data referenced in this study comprises spatial data and supporting information that are utilized as parameters for the analysis.

The regional stage outlined in Table 2 serves as the initial screening phase to ascertain whether a potential zone is suitable for use as a landfill. This stage aims to clearly delineate areas that are considered either suitable or unsuitable for landfill designation at a regional level. During the data processing phase, GIS techniques, such as buffers and overlays, are employed. At this stage, weighting is applied to the criteria based on the assigned scores [8].
Criteria | Parameter | Score |
Geology | Rocks have low permeability | 1 |
Not in the Holocene fault zone | 1 | |
Not in an area with high landslide-prone | 1 | |
Hydrogeology | It has a distance of more than 100 m from the river | 1 |
Not a productive aquifer | 1 | |
Topography | Zone slope less than 20% | 1 |
Airport distance | The airport must be more than 3,000 m away | 1 |
Land use | It has a distance of more than 300 m from residential areas | 1 |
Not in a protected area | 1 | |
Not in a high flood-prone area | 1 |
For rock types with low permeability, such as lava lithology [14], the low permeability rocks in Kendal Regency include basalt, Gajah Mungkur Volcano, Jembangan Volcano, Semalon & Sangku Volcanoes, Kerek Formation, Jongkong Formation, Penyetan Formation, and Kaligesic Volcano. On the other hand, rocks with high permeability include alluvial deposits, Damar Formation, and Kaligetas Formation.
For land use criteria related to residential areas, potential landfill sites must not be located within residential or industrial zones due to environmental and social impacts, as residents may be disturbed by landfill operations. Therefore, such sites should be situated more than 300 meters away from these areas.
In Kendal Regency, there are two areas: conservation areas and cultivation areas. Conservation areas, including mangrove ecosystems, conservation zones, local protection zones, groundwater protection areas, and their underlying protection areas, cannot be used as landfill sites. In contrast, cultivation areas such as holding zones, production forests, fishing zones, residential areas, and agricultural zones can be utilized for landfills.
Then overlay all regional parameters, this aims to find out the calculation of the placement of potential landfill locations in Kendal Regency as shown in Figure 2.
The results overlay revealed that areas identified as potential and non-potential locations yielded the highest score when it came to determining new landfills in Kendal Regency. In the calculation, the potential value of the regional stage landfill is orange if it gets a value of 10, which means it meets all parameters, and white if the value is less than 10, which means it does not meet one or more of the specified parameters [15].
After the regional process that results in potential or non-potential areas to be used as landfills, the next stage is the elimination stage. The elimination stage involves two aspects, the first is the general parameters, and the second is to narrow down the area that is really potential to be used as a landfill with physical environmental parameters [16].
To carry out the stage of the landfill exclusion criteria that will be assessed, several parameters are needed, namely the general and physical environment as shown in Table 3.
Based on the results of the selection of these criteria, tabular data will be generated that shows the value of the landfill potential elimination stage. The location with the highest score will serve as the best reference for determining the routes from the temporary disposal sites to the landfill [17].

The location of the landfill with the highest score is a reference in determining the route from the temporary disposal sites to the landfill. At the stage of determining the route, road analysis from the temporary disposal sites to the location of the alternative landfill was carried out using network analysis with road data, temporary disposal site data, and data on the potential location of the selected landfill [18].
Categorize temporary disposal sites into three vehicles [19]:
A. Tricycle;
B. Armroll;
C. Dumptruck;
Group temporary disposal sites based on capacity and paths passed by trucks [20]. Then, to find out if the route of the truck from the temporary disposal sites to the landfill is suitable for selection by using network analysis and choosing the shortest path, the path type uses the fastest so that the truck can use the fastest road so that the time in delivering waste is effective and avoids local roads that are sometimes roads that cannot be passed by vehicles [21].
3. Result and Discussion
The regional stage employs ten parameters to evaluate the potential landfill sites in Kendal Regency at a regional level. These parameters are illustrated in Figure 3.
The regional stage, as depicted in Figure 4, assesses the potential value of landfill sites using ten parameters, namely rock type, active faults, landslide-prone areas, aquifer type, river proximity, slope, airport locations, protected areas, flood-prone regions, and residential areas. The scope of the regional stage for sub-districts is detailed in Table 4.

The regional stage incorporates ten parameters to evaluate potential landfill sites. It is noteworthy that the Darupono Baru landfill, as the existing landfill, is not included in this regional assessment. The exclusion of the Darupono Baru landfill from the potential zone at the regional stage is attributed to insufficient scores in determining its suitability as a landfill location. The suitability value of the Darupono Baru landfill can be found in Table 5.
The Darupono Baru landfill does not meet the criteria for a suitable regional zone, achieving only a score of 5 out of 10 evaluation parameters.
No. | Parameter Regional | Value | Suitability |
1 | Types of rocks | 0 | Not suitable |
2 | Fault zone | 0 | Not suitable |

The data above is the result of the calculation of the potential location of the landfill in Kendal Regency based on SNI 03-4231-1994. From the processing results, there are several potential landfill locations with a reference to roads used for 4-wheeled vehicles, among others, which can be seen in Figure 5.
Potential landfill sites in Kendal Regency:
1. Gebangan Village, Pageruyung District
2. Kalibareng Village, Patean District
3. Kedungasri Village, Ringinarum District
4. Kalices Village, Patean District
5. Sojomerto Village, Gemuh District
6. Singorojo Village, Singorojo District
This landfill site is situated on low-permeability rock with a slope gradient of 0-20%, not located in landslide-prone areas, and positioned more than 500 meters from active fault zones. It has limited access to aquifers and is more than 100 meters away from the nearest river. Additionally, this site is located over 300 meters from residential areas to avoid disturbing residents, is not within protected zones, and is free from flood risks.
The elimination stage involves 20 parameters, each with its own weight and score, to determine the best value among the potential landfill sites in Figure 6.
The suitability value of the Darupono Baru landfill, as the existing landfill in Kendal Regency, is calculated by multiplying the weight assigned to each parameter by its corresponding score and summing the values of all 20 established parameters. The resulting land suitability value is presented in Table 6.
At the elimination stage, the Darupono Baru landfill received a score of 424 out of a maximum of 690, based on the evaluation of 20 elimination parameters.

The maximum possible score for all parameters is 690, while the minimum is 77. In this calculation, the best potential landfill location value is obtained at Potential Landfill location 3 with a value of 548 out of 690 with 20 parameters, while the lowest value is Landfill Location 6 with a value of 393 out of 690 with 20 parameters.
The Darupono Baru landfill as an existing landfill in the results of the regional stage analysis did not meet the parameter criteria mentioned in SNI No. 03-3241-1994, then at the elimination stage only got a score of 424, which means that the landfill has the 5th place with a lower score than the Potential Landfills 2, 3, 4, 5.
The waste transportation route in Kendal Regency has three ways, namely using tricycles, armrolls, and dump trucks. The routes obtained in the temporary disposal site research to the landfill are 44 routes spread across Kendal Regency. The route is made based on the volume of waste from July 13 to 14, 2024, and based on the proximity between temporary disposal sites.
For waste transportation using tricycles, there are 8 routes, as shown in Figure 7, with the fastest route being route 2 to go to the Patukangan transfer depot with a time of 0.4 minutes and a distance of 0.3 km, and the route with a late time is route 8 to go to the Patebon container with a time of 4 minutes and a distance of 2.93 km. The tricycle route can be seen at Table 8.
Route | Towards | Capacity (m3) | Max Capacity (m3) | Route Distance (km) | Time (minutes) |
1 | Patukangan depot | 3 | 8 | 0.9 | 2.1 |

As illustrated in Figure 8, there are 20 waste transportation routes utilizing armroll trucks. The fastest route is Route 12, which leads to Potential Landfill 3, taking 20.7 minutes to cover a distance of 8.3 km. Conversely, the slowest route is Route 24, which requires 85.4 minutes and spans a distance of 57.0 km. Details of the armroll routes can be found in Table 9.

4. Conclusions
Based on the research conducted, the following conclusions can be drawn:
(1) The Darupono Baru landfill, as the existing landfill, does not satisfy the criteria for a suitable zone at the regional stage, having achieved only 5 out of 10 assessment parameters. At the elimination stage, the Darupono Baru landfill scored 424 out of a possible 690 based on 20 elimination parameters, indicating that its suitability is lower than that of the identified potential locations for landfills 2, 3, 4, and 5.
(2) The landfill potential analysis, guided by SNI No. 03-3241-1994, which outlines the regulations and procedures for determining landfill locations, revealed a potential area of 2,566 hectares, representing 2.55% of Kendal Regency. Six sites were identified as viable alternatives for landfill development: Gebangan Village (Pageruyung District), Kalibareng Village (Patean District), Kedungasri Village (Ringinarum District), Kalices Village (Patean District), Sojomerto Village (Gemuh District), and Singorojo Village (Singorojo District). Among these, the highest-scoring potential landfill location is Potential Landfill 3 in Kedungasri Village (Ringinarum Sub-District), with a score of 548 out of 690. Conversely, the lowest-scoring potential location is Potential Landfill 6 in Singorojo Village (Singorojo District), with a score of 393 out of 690.
(3) Kendal Regency is equipped with 155 temporary disposal sites. The waste transportation routes in the regency encompass three modes: tricycles, armroll trucks, and dump trucks. A total of 44 routes were identified for transporting waste from the temporary disposal sites to the landfill. Specifically, there are 8 routes for tricycle transportation, 20 routes for armroll trucks, and 16 routes for dump trucks.
It is recommended that future research incorporate all relevant parameters, as this study excluded two critical parameters—land and groundwater—due to insufficient data. Subsequent research should also focus on calculating the average weekly or monthly waste volumes transported from each temporary disposal site to enhance the efficiency of truck transportation routing.
