WASTE BANK APPLICATION AS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT OF ENVIRONMENT-BASED DISEASE CONTROL

Introduction: The problem of waste is a classic problem faced by society. Because every activity we do in our daily lives produces waste, the increase in daily waste needs to be handled properly so that there is no accumulation of waste in the following year. Apart from the government, the community is also involved in solving this problem. With appropriate management methods and processing techniques, the entire waste-handling process is expected not to affect the environment, interfere with health, and preserve environmental functions. The solution that can be offered is the existence of a waste bank application that will benefit the community, managers, and collectors and has a paperless nature and educational value. Materials and Methods: The research method is observational cross-sectional research with direct observation in the field. Data was collected using a Likert scale questionnaire. The questionnaires that have been collected will be analyzed using SmartPLS 4 software to test the influence between research variables. Results: The outer model results show the loading factor value> 0.6 and the AVE value> 0.5, so it can measure the variables. The results of the inner model show the R Square value of 38.3% with a t-statistic value of 10.138 has a significant effect on disease risk. Zero warehouse waste bank applications can influence disease risk factors by 65%. Conclusion: The zero warehouse waste bank application positively and significantly affects disease risk. Increased use of the zero warehouse waste bank application will reduce the risk of environmental-based diseases caused by waste.
