2.3 Socio-Culture analysis
The main building of the West Tarum channel levee made from soil or rock (cement) with the aim
of reducing waste. Land use on the banks of the West Tarum channel or compatibles is green open
space, but actually the land use had been change to illegal residential, gerdening, garbage disposal and
the public utilities for bathing, washing and latrine . On the north side of the embankment West Tarum
channel have been used for general traffic.
The land uses observations along the route West Tarum channel :
1. Location BTB 1 - BTB 10 : green open land, residential and industrial. Water in the West Tarum
channels utilized by the public for bathing and washing, while not directly utilized by pumping water
into the West Tarum channel people's homes.
2. Location BTB 10 – BTB 23 : settlements, rice fields and plantations. Water in the West Tarum
channels utilized by the communities along the channel for activity Bathing, washing and latrine
(MCK).
3. Location BTB 23 – BTB 35 : large industrial area, residential, farm and small industrial / household.
4. Location BTB 35 – BTB 45 : settlements, markets, cities, shopping malls, large industrial area.
Water in the West Tarum channel utilized for the activities of public toilets, wash the plastic to the
recycling process.
5. Location BTB 45 – BTB 53 : densely populated, illegal settlements on the banks of the West Tarum
channels, stores/malls. Water in the West Tarum channel utilized for the activities of public latrines
and the disposal of household waste.
People’s Activities who live on the banks of the West Tarum channels have contributed greatly to the
decline in water quality especially of poultry farming community and disposal of household waste
directly into water bodies of West Tarum channel.
To determine the effect of people’s activities who live along the West Tarum channel of water quality
survey needs to be done. Surveys carried out by taking a sample of 57 persons / respondents who live
along the West Tarum channels, with the following results:
1. The number of people who use the West Tarum channel for daily activities as much as 67%.
2. Community activities in the West Tarum channel by 35% in the form of toilets, wash the items /
furniture by 37%, 19% cooking purposes.
3. Availability of sanitary facilities to the people who live along the West Tarum channel by 93%.
4. Activities of public toilets / respondents in the West Tarum channel by 21%.
5. Availability of the trash on the residents who live along the West Tarum tract of 91%. Solid waste
management is carried out by people who live along the West Tarum channels which are: a total of 29
respondents (51%) stated that the waste is managed by collecting it in a temporary waste management
(51%), 41 respondents (71%) of waste management is done by burning , but as much as approximately
4% of respondents had a habit of throwing garbage into the West Tarum channel.
6. The 40 respondents (70%) stated that the liquid waste is not managed and channeled directly local
exhaust / local river, 9 respondents (16%) dispose of liquid waste directly into the West Tarum
channel.
7. Agricultural activities, farm and small industrial/household done for its own consumption and in
small amounts. Cottage industry carried out on the West Tarum channel is in the form of old plastic
washing with soap / detergent is carried out in water bodies and outside bodies of water.
2.4 Water quality index
Changes in water quality in the sub-watershed (Watershed) Western Tarum channel from 2007 to
early 2012, influenced by the parameters of physics and chemistry, biology. Parameter changes and
relationships between parameters and other factors outside of the parameters can affect water quality,
will be discussed one by one as follows :
