Abstract – The trash management of the Terong Market so far has not been appropriate with environmental-friendly trash management methods and techniques, resulting in negative impacts on public health and the environment so that researchers need to pay special attention to the relationship between the trash management system and the density of flies in the Makassar Terong Market. This type of research is an observational study with a cross-sectional study design. The number of samples in this study was 164 kiosks that will be selected by a sampling system, namely Simple Random Sampling. The results of this study show that there is a significant relationship between trash storage and the density of flies in the Makassar Terong Market, the p-value = 0.010. There is a significant influence between trash collection and the density of flies in the Terong Makassar Market, the p-value = 0.023. There is a significant influence between trash disposal and the density level of flies in the Makassar Terong Market, the obtained p-value = 0.003 and the most influential variable is the storage variable with a p-value of 0.001 p <0.05). The level of fly density was significantly related to the storage, collection and disposal of trash, where the storage aspect was the most related aspect. Thus, the real effort is needed in trash management that meets health requirements.

Keywords: Trash Management, Garbage Storage, Trash Collection, Garbage Disposal, Flies Density Level.

I. INTRODUCTION

Health development is an integral part of national development. In-Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health, it is stated that health is a state of well-being, starting from body, soul, and society, which enables everyone to live productively socially and economically. Thus, health apart from being a human right, health is an investment [1].
Development cannot be carried out properly without the availability of one of the basic assets, namely the condition of the public health level [2]. According to Hendrik L. Blum (1974) states that health status is the result of the interaction of four factors, namely heredity, environment, behaviour, and health services. From these four factors, it can be argued that environmental factors have the most important role compared to other factors. So that in managing and utilizing the environment, it is necessary to pay attention to the impact that will occur on changes in environmental conditions. For example, waste handling is directed at provision and facilities and management techniques to achieve a clean environment [3].
