Abstract
Background: Length of stay near a landfill can affect public perception of landfills. The longer people live near landfills, they tend to have a more ordinary or neutral perception of the existence of landfills, and may even not pay much attention to them because they are used to it. However, there is also the possibility that negative perceptions remain if the negative impacts of landfills, such as odors or other environmental problems, are still felt. The distance of the settlement must be more than 1 km, to overcome the direct impact on the quality of the environment, such as on air, water, health and environmental comfort. The Sebakul Water Final Disposal Site (TPA) was established in 1991, and the current condition of each block is almost full of garbage so that in the rainy season garbage trucks cannot enter the garbage pile will accumulate in the settlement dean's emergency block.
Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between length of stay and public perception of the existence of Sebakul Water landfill (TPA) in Bengkulu City.
Methods: The research method used in this study is descriptive analytics with a cross sectional approach which was carried out from December 2024 to May 2025. The population in this study is the entire community around the Sebakul Water Landfill as many as 93 families and all were used as research respondents. Data collection techniques were carried out through questionnaires, interviews, observations, documentation studies and literature studies. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive manner.
Results: The results of the study found that there is no relationship between the length of stay around the landfill and environmental conditions, there is a relationship between the length of stay around the landfill and health. The suggestion to the government is to reclaim the landfill.
Conclusion: Advice for people around the landfill, to get out of the work of scavengers and not focus on their livelihood in such places, and can also use the waste to have economic value, so that family health is maintained.
