Summary

Situated on the Island of Bali, Denpasar is the capital city of Bali province and a major tourist destination. The City of Denpasar is one of the fastest growing cities in Indonesia with a population of over 897,300 residents (Department of Statistics Denpasar, 2016). From 2011 to 2016, the urban growth rate has been approximately 2% every year. Greater Denpasar spills out into the tourist regions of Kuta to the south and Ubud to the north. Tourist development, inter-island migration, and rapid urban growth have contributed to waste and environmental management challenges.

2C Denpasar focused on collecting baseline information on waste management in relation to the rapidly growing tourist centers. Coordination with the tourism industry and the city administration of Denpasar is a key aspect of this project.

Goals

The project goal was to establish a model waste management system in Indonesia working with local TPSTs (integrated waste facilities) and waste banks in metropolitan Denpasar, and also to develop standard management tools through the use of geospatial data and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve overall management, services, and planning. Geospatial data was collected to provide the foundation for a waste management system working with local waste collectors and facilities, villages, private sector, and waste banks in metropolitan Denpasar. Subsequently, the lessons learned will be replicated at similar facilities in the regions surrounding Denpasar.

Data

2C Denpasar collected data on the waste management services in Denpasar city. They located and geotagged every municipal waste tip/dumpster/collection point, illegal dumping locations, and formal and informal waste collectors throughout Denpasar city and then expanded to include villages outside the city administrative boundary.

Project Status

After completion of the 2C project, Gringgo has been awarded a USAID Development Innovations grant to continue to support their waste management project.
