| Abstract | Bandung is the capital city of West Java Province.
The landform features of the city can be divided into four
units, namely : Alluvial/flood plain, volcanic product
terrain, alluvial fan plain and lacustrine plain. While the
stratigraphic sequence of this area from the youngest to the
oldest is River Deposits, Cikidang Formation , Cibeureum and
Kosambi Formations, Undifferentiated Young Volcanic Product
and Cikapundung Formation . Their ages are Pleistocene to
Recent. Generally, the foundation condition in Bandung Area
are quite satisfactory and uptil now, no problem has
encountered in this connection. The city has an a mpl e supply
of aggregate and stones for ripraping purposes. Most of the
sand being used in the city are taken from nearby city or
from volcanic sources such as Sumedang, Garut and
Galungggung volcano areas. Present rate of waste production
is 6000 cubic meters per day. There are five disposal sites
surrounding the city. They are Ciseupan in the west, Dago in
the north, Cicabe and North Sukamiskin in the east and
Cieunteung in the south. Three mayor sources of water are
used by the Bandung Municipality Water Enterprise .
These are deep wells, springs and surface water from river.
Flooding of urban area at Dayeuhkolot occurs regularly. The
1986 flood, records of the maximum flood a rea of 4,300
hectares and volume of water about 54 millions cubic meters.
To reduce the effect of both air pollution and water
pollution from disposal site to the environment it is
recommended to abandon Dago and Cicabe solid waste disposal
sites and to reconsider the existence of disposal site in the
northern part area of the city which will affect the
groundwater quality in the city in the near future.
Likewise, land use and planning is becoming more and more .
important since more than 70% of the total area has been
already built-up area. |
