Abstract

River borders are green belts that should be free from permanent, non-permanent or semi-permanent buildings. However, people still use many river borders to build houses. Gandul River is one of the rivers with borderland use that violates regulations. This research aims to analyze the quality of polluting elements and SWOT analysis for strategies for controlling pollution. The research was carried out using a mixed methods approach in the form of quantitative and descriptive. Descriptive research analyzing water quality as an abiotic element was assessed using water quality parameters (temperature, TDS, TSS, pH, total coliform, and DO) and a qualitative culture analysis will be carried out using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) on 60 respondents who live in Gandul River border as the main respondent. The polluting elements in the Gandul River are coliforms that reached >16,000 during 2021-2023. Strategies in efforts to control buildings on the Gandul River border include firm action to implement government and regional regulations, providing education, and assisting the community with relocation efforts. Land use on the Gan-dul River border causes an increase in the total coliform value so efforts are needed to relocate.
