Abstract

Many residents of Padang city are still unaware the nearest location of the waste bank. The use of Geographic Information Sistem (GIS) web-based allows spatial information give the location and status of waste banks to be accessed by the public in real-time, openly, and in an integrated manner. This research aims to describe the development of a web-based waste bank (GIS) to manage waste bank and reduce waste accumulation in Padang City The type of research is mixed methods approach to obtain more comprehensive and contextual data regarding the developed system The research location is the waste bank located in Padang city Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, documentation, and online questionnaires. Research findings reveal a decline in the distribution of waste banks in Padang City.

Some of the publicappreciating the digital mapping of waste bank locations because previously information was only in the form of manual documents. Based on the distribution of the survey on user perception of the web-based waste bank (GIS), it can be concluded that the majority of respondents stated they "strongly agree" with the (GIS) interface. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as the need for integration of the waste scale reporting feature and an automated notification system. Therefore, this research can be used as a reference for other researchers to develop a web-based waste bank, ultimately creating a waste-free Padang city.
