Abstract

A key environmental pressure indicator, the development of municipal solid waste (MSW) per capita, is a useful measure to determine the rate of solid waste generation and to assess the intensities between cities or countries. Solid waste management is the biggest environmental issue in Palembang, highly dependent on land filling as the main method of disposal in managing this steady increase in the production of solid waste annually. Therefore, this research aims to measure the amount of solid household waste generation in the rainy season and dry season, and to correlate it with several housing types using ANOVA test. Measurement of waste generation in the form of waste weight, volume and composition refers to SNI 19-3964-1994 by means of a measuring instrument in the form of a 40-liter capacity tank, digital and also a ruler. The result of this paper show the amount of organic waste is more prevalent than other waste types, which is an average of 357.68 grams per person per day for rainy season and 79.04 grams per person per day for dry season. The non-permanent house group produces the largest volume of organic solid waste in both seasons but produces the smallest volume of non-organic solid waste in the dry season. From the result of ANOVA, there is a significant difference between household solid waste and season (rainy and dry). ANOVA's result for differences in house type groups, it can be said that there is a considerable difference between house types. Sub-districts of Seberang ulu I and Kertapati obtain the assessment of each district, the weight category of' high' solid waste, while other districts are given a' low' solid waste category.
