Abstrak

Raja Ampat is one of the ocean karst formations in Indonesia. Raja Ampat Karst is projected to receive global geopark status by 2023. As international tourism grows in the region, waste has become a significant threat to both residents and visitors. This study projects the population growth of Raja Ampat Regency over the next 30 years. The method is quantitative and based on data from the Central Statistical Authority. Population growth in each regency is estimated to range between 0.06% and 2.81%. The projected waste for the next 30 years is 672,427 tons, with a daily production of 77 tons spread across 24 districts. In addition to the waste generated by geopark tourists, the accumulation of waste from tourism activities was 15,155.36 tons annually, with a daily output of 2,071.81 tons by 2053. Integrated waste management is necessary as Raja Ampat faces two challenging natural conditions. First, the archipelagic nature of the region requires a proper cross-island waste management strategy. Second, the character in the karst needs to pay attention to the presence of the water catchment area and karst springs so that the waste does not contaminate the groundwater.Received: 2024-10-02 Revised: 2025-08-15 Accepted: 2026-04-29 Published: 2026-04-29 Play This Podcast Article
