A Systematic Literature Review on the Role of Local Government in Cross-Sectoral Waste Management Integration in Jakarta, Indonesia

Environmental accountability and protection has gained traction in the recent past. Sustainable waste management has become the point of interest for many stakeholders. Different jurisdictions have developed regulations on waste management to safeguard the planet and future generations. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has emerged as the center of policy debate around the world, as it is considered a policy tool for promoting circular economy (CE) practices that transfer post-consumer waste management obligations from governments to producers. EPR ensures producers and manufacturers take responsibility for the physical end-of-life products they place on the market. The gazettement of the Sustainable Waste Management EPR Regulations, 2024, in Kenya, marked a significant regulatory milestone, mandating producer registration, take-back schemes, eco-design, and financial contributions for waste recovery and management. This review focused on the EPR framework and its implementation by synthesizing empirical studies, policy reports, and global best practices, and evaluating their implications on environmental performance, economic outcomes, and institutional capacity. It analyzed the alignment of Kenya’s EPR framework with international benchmarks, compliance levels, product design innovation, recycling rates, job creation, and financial sustainability, focusing on a number of key waste actors at policy and implementation levels. The literature consisted of 551 articles and reports extracted from key academic databases: Web of Science, Scopus, Springer, and grey sources. Boolean logic and keyword combinations, systematic screening, and content analysis was used. The PRISMA model was applied. The findings hint at limited downstream waste management effectiveness, pointing to opportunities such as enhanced waste collection and diversion, recycling, and value recovery. The results also showed existence of the primary challenge of conflict between the EPR policy intent and implementation. While the policy is intended to shift the burden of waste management from public sector to private producers, the effort is undermined by resistance to change, lack of awareness, enforcement gaps, and legal disputes. Additionally, there is limited policy and enforcement framework, misalignment of responsibility between producers, manufacturers and importers on the management of end-of-life products upstream. Consequently, strong stakeholder involvement, clear sharing of responsibilities by producers, setting waste management targets for collection, recovery, and recycling, a progressive legal framework, public education and awareness, formalization of the informal sector, adoption of differentiated EPR fees, waste segregation at source, and targeted waste stream implementation is recommended.

The management of waste bank in urban areas of Bantul has been running for ten years, and many are currently inactive. This study examines the intention of managing a sustainable waste bank in the urban area of Bantul. The aim of this study is to determine the factors associated with intention sustainable management of waste banks in the urban area of Bantul Regency. The research sample was a waste saver in the waste bank of the urban area of Bantul Regency. The data were analyzed by path analysis. The results of the study show that there is a significant relationship between the role of the government and the Independent Waste Management Network (JPSM) with the participation of community in waste bank. Knowledge, participation, the role of the government and JPSM have a significant relationship with the intention of the community in the waste bank. This study helps understand the strength of the relative relationship of the determinants of intention to manage a sustainable waste bank. The strength of the biggest relationship is between the role of government and JPSM with intentions, followed by role relationships with participation, then between participation and intention, and the weakest is the relationship between knowledge and intention.

Introduction: Population growth in urban areas, fuelled by migration from rural areas, has changed lifestyles and socio-cultural dynamics. The dynamic lifestyle of urban communities changes consumption behaviour so that people prefer practical and economical products. There are fundamental issues that arise in the waste management system in Indonesia, including limited waste management capacity in the regions, inadequate infrastructure, implementation of regulations, and lack of public awareness including the consumer goods manufacturing industry on post-consumption waste management issues. This study aims to understand the perception and level of community participation as well as the role of the informal sector in post-consumption plastic waste management, with a focus on the implementation of the extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme. Methods: Data was collected through a questionnaire survey and literature study in five areas of DKI Jakarta. Through the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the manufacturing industry is encouraged to contribute to the management of plastic packaging waste produced. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods with data analysis using descriptive statistics. Finding: The results show that the community supports EPR-related regulations and is ready to participate in plastic waste management schemes. This positive perception reflects changes in socio-cultural values that prioritise environmental concerns. The informal sector also makes an important contribution to plastic waste reduction, especially through collection, distribution, and processing activities in stalls and waste banks. Community support and the role of the informal sector in plastic waste management reflect changes in social attitudes and behaviours that are increasingly concerned about the environment. Conclusion: Therefore, active involvement in plastic waste reduction initiatives also reflects a cultural change that is increasingly integrated in urban communities.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze and examine the influence of the role of the central government, the role of local government, community participation, governance on the success of post-COVID-19 food security policies.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a quantification study related to phenomena related to the success of post-COVID-19 food security policies. The data used are primary data with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Data analysis using the measurement model Structural Equation Model (SEM). The population in this study was all people in the city of Bandung, Indonesia.FindingsThe role of the Central Government (X1), the role of the Local Government (X2) and Public Participation (X3) is very important for improving Governance (Y1) and Food Defense Policy (Y2). Thus, the conditions of the role of the Central Government (X1), the role of the Local Government (X2) and Public Participation (X3) must always be maintained. Efforts to maintain the role of the Central Government (X1) and the role of the Local Government (X2) can be done by paying attention to the organizing aspect. This indicator is known to have a very important influence in reflecting the role of the Central Government (X1) and the role of the Local Government (X2). On the other hand, efforts to increase Public Participation (X3) can be done by paying attention to the Psychological indicators (X31).Originality/valueThe government must take steps to prevent a food crisis. Apart from that, the government is also deemed necessary to map existing agricultural potentials, stabilize food prices, carry out consolidation related to agricultural land and also make regulations related to existing food problems. Apart from the role of the government, the public can also take part in maintaining food security to avoid a food crisis. Communities have the opportunity to build food sovereignty and self-sufficiency. During a pandemic like this, people tend to be more creative and can be creative to outsmart existing situations. This includes maintaining access to food. The community is expected to have the awareness to undertake at least independent planting to meet their own food needs.

The problem of waste management in big cities worldwide and especially Indonesia, has become an ongoing issue. Every country globally competes in developing various technologies in waste management, such as sanitary landfills, incineration, gasification, and anaerobic digestion technology. This study intends to describe the right model for waste management, especially for areas in Indonesia. In this case, the writer tries to discuss waste management innovation in Cilacap Regency by using a waste management policy implementation model with Refused Derived Fuel (RDF) technology, which converts waste into alternative fuel to replace coal. In this paper, the writer tries to analyze it with a descriptive design with a qualitative approach. Writing informants were determined by purposive sampling. The results of this study, according to the author, indicate that the implementation of RDF public policy on waste management can be carried out with several approaches, namely: (1) RDF Waste Management Policy Model with a Collaborative Waste Management Service approach; (2) RDF Waste Management Policy Model with the Buy and Sell Cooperation approach of RDF results; (3) RDF Waste Management Policy Model with a Joint Venture (JO) approach; (4) RDF waste management policy model with an Operational Cooperation approach with the presence of foreign assistance, the central government and provincial governments; (5) RDF waste management policy model with the formation of regional companies.

Community based waste management (PSBM) is a waste management approach based on community’s needs and demand and is planned, carried out (if possible), controlled and evaluated jointly by the community. An increase in population is always followed with increasing volume of waste, which requires change in the waste management especially from the old paradigm (collect – transport – dispose of) to the new paradigm of 3R concept (reduce, reuse, recycle). The 3R waste management pattern is implemented through waste bank empowerment by involving all elements of the community. Law Number 18 Year 2008 on Waste Management and Regulation of the Minister of Environment Number 13 Year 2021 on the Guidelines on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Implementation through Waste Bank has opened the opportunity for public participation in waste management. All this times the Government of Banyumas Regency has applied waste management technical policies several times, but there is no express legal policy about the existence of Waste Bank. The Government of Banyumas Regency currently still prioritizes big scale waste management through a hangar system. The potential of Waste Bank as one waste conscious group and as an alternative whose role can be optimized especially in community-based waste reduction management has not got attention.Keywords: Role, Waste Bank, Domestic Waste.

Starting from the strategic position of the Tangerang Regency as a buffer for the Capital City of DKI Jakarta, it later developed into a part of the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi), making this region a role as a center for industry, trade and services. Then grow large-scale settlements as a new city in Tangerang Regency. The presence of the role of local government with the function of service, development and Empowerment (Ryas Rasyid, 2001), is so central as an agent of change. Moreover, the presence of these new cities left a socioeconomic impact on the surrounding community, and made extraordinary social changes for the people of Tangerang Regency. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development policies of new cities and analyze how the role of the Tangerang District Government in increasing the capability of the community in tackling the impacts of new city development and social change in the Tangerang Regency. So by using a qualitative research methodology that uses descriptive analysis techniques Triaguasi namely a combination of interviews, documentation and observations carried out continuously, then analyzed so that this study can make conclusions (conclusions, drawings / verivication) and recommendations as a research suggestion.The results of this study conclude that the construction of new cities in Tangerang Regency only increases economic growth, not equity. The quality of human resources affected by the new city is still lagging behind, namely the development of the city, not for the welfare of the surrounding community. Although the role of the local government in empowering the affected people’s economy to improve the capabilities of the community is already strong enough with diverse efforts. As a result, the construction of new cities radically changed community institutions, social systems and patterns of community behavior. New city development presents global culture in Tangerang Regency, Banten Province.

Waste thrown away by the community and business units will cause environmental problems, if it is not managed properly and correctly. All parties become responsible for the waste problem which is getting bigger as the population increases. Not only the government but the full participation of the community in managing household waste is very helpful in overcoming the waste problem. Apart from being expected to save the environment from pollution properly and correctly, waste management can also provide economic value, in the form of income from waste management. The existence of this economic value further motivates the community to get involved in waste management. Since 2017, East Lampung Regency, as one of the districts in Lampung Province, has provided support for waste management with Waste Bank Institutional Management. The East Lampung Regency waste bank community under the auspices of the East Lampung Regency Environment, Settlement and Land Service, is an example of a community that actively carries out waste management activities with the community. In terms of management, it is still traditional and has not yet implemented an effective and efficient management system. Every organization will achieve its goals by implementing a management system that has been established if the economic functions of management are implemented within it. The economic functions of management consist of 4 main activities, namely Planning, 2 Organizing, 3 Actuating (Directing) and Controlling (Supervision). The aim of this assistance is the application of economic management functions, so that all activities in the Waste Bank Community will be orderly, focused in achieving the set goals. Using the ABCD Method is the right method to realize this. The result of this service is waste bank management training which consists of Planning, Organizing, Implementing, directing, controlling and supervising the aim of increasing capabilities. and the creativity of the Waste Bank management. This waste bank management will realize and achieve the general goals and specific goals of each waste bank, traditional management.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to determine the production and energy potential of refuse derived fuel (RDF) in Latvia, in order to understand how large an impact municipal waste incineration with energy recovery has on waste management and energy supply systems in Latvia.Design/methodology/approachThe results of the study are based on historical data of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. The potential of RDF in Latvia is estimated and future sources of RDF production until 2020 are projected. The calculations of RDF potential are based on data on MSW generation, landfilling and composition, and on the calorific value of RDF fractions. The study also takes into account experimental results of RDF production trials in one landfill in Latvia.FindingsThe amount of MSW landfilled annually until 2020 will grow, therefore new waste management options will have to be found in order to comply with EU waste policy. One of the options is waste‐to‐energy. The energy amount potentially produced by incinerating RDF made of MSW in Latvia could account for approximately 2 per cent of the total energy amount produced in 2010, if the RDF conversion rate is assumed to be 30per cent, and up to 3.5 per cent – if the RDF conversion rate is 50 per cent.Originality/valueThere are just a few studies analysing RDF potential for a certain region (in this case – country). There is a lack of data and official projections of generated waste amounts which are typical for Latvia, therefore no detailed assessments are available on how much energy it would be possible to produce from the waste generated in Latvia. In this paper, the RDF production potential itself, as well as the energy potential produced via RDF in Latvia, is assessed. In order to estimate future availability of resources for RDF production, future MSW generation and landfilling amounts in Latvia until 2020 are projected.

This research explores the approach of embedding community-based initiatives in practicing circular economy based on a case study of waste bank movement in Salatiga, Central Java, and explains how the waste banks interact with multi sectors and levels. Data is gathered from documentary studies, in-depth interviews, and observations; and analyzed with a polycentric governance approach, which sheds light on cross-organizational collaborative arrangements. The study results show that the community-based circular economy initiatives through waste banks in Salatiga result from either a top-down approach that the municipal government instructs or a bottom-up approach that Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and communities initiate. Thus it is significant to note that CSOs play essential roles in waste management, and it completes the model proposed by the previous study. The study findings also show that embedding community-based waste management through waste banks in Salatiga can enhance broader circular economy practices, strengthen the linkages across sectors and levels, and balance the authorities in a polycentric waste governance system. Therefore, waste banks must be recognized as reliable institutions governing waste, especially in urban areas.

The concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has emerged as a transformative policy tool aimed at addressing the environmental impacts of post-consumer waste by transferring the end-of-life responsibility of products to producers. EPR plays a central role in driving sustainable waste management practices, fostering circular economy principles, and reducing the burden on local governments. This study undertakes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to trace the evolution of EPR, evaluate its implementation across diverse geographical regions and industrial sectors, and identify the key challenges and opportunities it presents. A total of 63 peer-reviewed academic publications, dissertation thesis and policy documents were examined to build a comprehensive understanding of EPR’s policy mechanisms, institutional arrangements, stakeholder roles, and economic implications. Descriptive trend analysis using Microsoft Excel was applied to categorize the literature by publication year, geographic focus, research methodology, and thematic concentration. The review reveals significant variation in EPR policy effectiveness, influenced by regulatory design, enforcement capacity, producer compliance, and consumer participation. It also underscores a growing research focus on digitalization in EPR processes, traceability mechanisms, and innovations in reverse logistics. Notably, there exists a limited body of research addressing the unique implementation challenges in developing countries, particularly concerning the informal sector, weak enforcement structures, and limited producer awareness. By synthesizing global insights and highlighting existing knowledge gaps, this study contributes to both academic discourse and policy development by offering direction for future research and strategic policymaking aimed at enhancing the efficiency and equity of EPR frameworks.

One of the achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) is Sustainable Consumption, which means managing waste residu from consumption. Waste management that is less than optimal will result in environmental, pollution, and poor public health. Therefore, strategic efforts are needed to empower sustainable waste management to reduce the volume of waste with awareness of applying the 5M concept, namely reducing, sorting, utilizing, recycling, and saving waste; increasing the role of the waste bank;and focusing on the nature of self-reliance. Berseri 35 carries out weighing and waste management administration activities without using an integrated information system which is manual. Customer members are not yet able to obtain information regarding the amount of savings in real time. In addition, the Waste Bank Management has difficulty reporting the amount of organic and inorganic waste management Environmental Department every month. Nowadays is technology era to facilitate access requires a Technology System and Waste Social Capital. The right technology system requires knowledge transfer and technology transfer as social capital engineering such of waste literacy knowledge. The aims of this program is creating an Integrated Information System application for managing organic and inorganic waste (My Waste For Berseri SITampah 35 to provide waste reports in a timely manner. Waste bank administrators can report the amount of managed waste in a timely and accurately. Strengthening the Waste Bank Institution in order to increase human resource skills for sustainable waste management. This research findings is an application of the accounting information system of for waste management digitally that will support financial recording that closure is more effective and efficient namely SITAMPAH 35.
