Iqbal Al Fatah, Sulistyo Dwi Sancoko . Design of Android-based Waste Bank Management System to Improve Waste Management Efficiency. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 4 ( Jan 2024), 26-31. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923384
Waste management is a serious concern, and traditional approaches have struggled to change public attitudes towards waste. The adoption of a more modern waste disposal method is evident in the emergence of waste banks. These institutions operate on a buy-and-sell waste system. To enhance the convenience for both customers and waste bank administrators, an Android-based application is being developed to augment the waste bank ecosystem. Employing prototype development techniques in the application design allows users to easily tailor the functionality to their specific needs. This study proposes a waste delivery system that eliminates the necessity for individuals to personally transport their waste to landfill management sites, thus enhancing the efficiency of waste disposal systems. The application also incorporates a waste collection function, where waste bank administrators schedule and transport waste from households according to predetermined schedules. Additionally, the app facilitates the recording of waste collection transactions. The design of the application involves the use of usage and activity diagrams, along with a depiction of the relationships within the database. The envisioned application aims to significantly contribute to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of waste bank systems.
