Abstract:
Makassar City slum settlement has a complex solid waste management problem located in a coastal
area, divided by canals, inhabited by middle-class people who live with limited environmental facilities,
and some build semi-permanent houses on the sea. This study aims to investigate the solid waste
management in coastal slum settlement including waste generation, storage, collection system
also community lifestyle, and coastal settlement characteristics. The method used in this study was
quantitative and qualitative. The result of the analysis shows that the volume of waste generation
category was about 49.47% compost potential, 25.57% inorganic recycling potential, and 24.96%
residue material. Solid waste management is not going well in this area where most of the households
did not get access to the communal trash bin and collection route. Recommendations for the solid
waste management model are given to overcome existing problems by onsite composting and selling
waste online and offline, and small amounts of residual waste discharged to the final disposal
