Abstract

Based on Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning the Village, villages can form a business entity to improve the welfare of their people. The Village Owned Enterprise (BUM Desa) Sido Makmur in Getasan Village, Semarang Regency, has some business units, including the Waste Management Business Unit. This unit has two stages of activities: Phase I is Waste Collection, and Phase II is Waste Segregation which includes converting the waste into goods with economic value. The Phase I program has been running since 2020 in one of the hamlets, and Phase II will soon be implemented. However, the BUM Desa Sido Makmur has never conducted a feasibility study on this business unit. A feasibility study can help BUM Desa understand whether a business can be continued or not and provide input for future business development. This article analysis the feasibility of the Waste Management Business Unit at BUM Desa Sido Makmur in terms of Legal, Market and Marketing, Human Resource Management, Technical and Technology, Environment, and Financial Aspects. Primary and secondary data in qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed using business feasibility analysis. The study results show that the Waste Management Business Unit in BUM Desa Sido Makmur is feasible. However, for this business unit to develop further, Phase II of waste management, namely converting waste into goods with economic value, must be done immediately by training village communities. In addition, it is necessary to expand business units' operations, not only in one hamlet but also in other hamlets.
