| Abstract | Overwhelming plastic waste in Indonesia has obtained in the next stage where its presence started to pollute the water system, included marine environment through the river pathway. With the high number of populations live close to the riverbanks, metropolitan city like Jakarta Area should control its high potency of plastic waste generation to the river, where 37.76% of generation comes from the residential area. To comply the control mechanism and early warning systems of plastic waste leakage should be implemented by its distribution, as the objective of the study for spatial analysis in plastic waste leakage and hotspot of river to the estuary before it enters the ocean. This study constructed into three different phases; from the leakage flow, streamflow and estimation to the estuary, which overall stages analyzed by using GIS to study the distribution and topographical features. Data used as utilized to the spatial distribution and waste recorded data from the government services. Through the existing management of waste shown that 12 × 103 ton of plastic waste leaked to the ocean in annual basis. The highest leakage estimated 2.8 × 103 ton in February and forecasted higher in January due to the Jakarta special events occurrence. Result of the estimation could be implemented as the area priority utilization in Jakarta Area to combat the existing plastic waste. |
