 INTRODUCTION

 This study aims to map the distribution of solid waste disposal volume (2007-2009 data)
as well as the 2007 population data in barangays of Cebu City, using Geographical
Information System (GIS).
 The study also aims to find out if there is a significant correlation between solid waste
volume data with population data and to find out the relative strength of a linear
relationship between these two variables.
Location
 Riverfront located on Pit-os, Talamban, Cebu. It is on a rolling terrain,
offers the classic Camella home series. Stretching over 10 hectares. It
is situated at approximately 10.3935, 123.9213, in the island of Cebu.
Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at 48.5 meters or 159.1
feet above mean sea level.
Population

 According to the 2015 Census, the age group with the highest
population is 5 to 9, with 216 individuals. Conversely, the age group
with the lowest population is 75 to 79, with 32 individuals. The
population grew from 120 in 2014 to 216 in 2017, an increase of 96
people. The latest census figures in 2017 denote a positive growth
rate of 3.60%, or an increase of 96 people, from the previous
population of 120 in 2014.
Characteristics of Area and Waste
Volume

An average of 1,000 kilograms (or 1 ton) of wastes are generated in a

day. Mostly bio-products or waste like food, vegetable, table waste, etc.
Second is plastic and third is paper; while the rest are mixed waste,
rubber, wood, glass, tin, textile, and construction.
Assumptions and Consideration

 In the North District of Cebu City the quantity of waste generation per
barangays was monitored by the Solid Waste Monitoring Division of
Cebu City on a monthly basis as indicated in Table 1, respectively.
Blanks indicate that no data was submitted by the barangays to the
DPS (Department of Public Services) at the given period. Furthermore,
Department of Public Services was created to effectively address the
City’s problems on solid waste management.
 In Table 2, it shows each of the seven days represents a day of the
week to complete a week-long cycle. Alternating shifts for sorting
activities were schedule within the sampling period. The intervening
days were intended to allow drying of washed materials for the
moisture content analysis. During those times, the sorting area is free
of other wastes to ensure the integrity of the samples.
 In Table 3 it shows the number of samples was determined by
computing the median based on the 80% confidence level in the
number of samples for waste.
 A total of 44 garbage truck samples within a period of seven days
were distributed in a way that represents all three districts of DPS
