Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model of Solid Waste in Small Island Makassar City

Island communities are very susceptible to environmental problems. Garbage is the most important problem in the island, because waste can damage marine ecosystems and also lead a serious problems such as the incidence of diseases that caused by garbage is like diarrhea. This study aims to determine the application of solid waste treatment model in small islands around Makassar city by applying Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. Techniques data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to describe the relationship of latent variables with the indicator (measurement model) and describe the relationship with the latent variables (structural model). The result of the research shows that the knowledge variable influenced the waste generation = 0.201), attitude variable influenced to waste generation (P = 0, 753), facility and infrastructure variable influenced waste generation (P = 0, 165), processing behavior variable influence to waste generation (P = 0, 371). The fit model with existing data is based on the Goodness-of Fit Index criteria with the result of Chi Square evaluation 1180.927, with significant level 0.000 and RMSEA value (0.145), GFI (0.742). The applied model is not Fit so it can be used for this research but not for further research.
