Abstract
Damage to coastal ecosystems and shallow waters of the Bajo Pulau Village, Sape Sub-district, Bima District, West Nusa Tenggara Province is caused by the accumulation of household waste that is not managed by the community from year to year. It resulted in a reduction in the quality of seawater. This study examines the various factors behind it and synthesizes the solution to the problem by proposing a bulk store. The research method used is descriptive-analytic with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out by observation, field studies, literature studies, and interviews. The results showed that Indonesia (as the largest archipelagic country) has a low interconnectivity level. It causes small islands to be vulnerable to environmental degradation. This vulnerability is also caused by the lack of a business system that considers sustainable environmental capabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of household waste scattered on land and in the sea that threatens the surrounding ecosystem with the concept of a minimal garbage collection facility based on a cooperative system.
Highlights
The waste problem is a significant problem that Indonesia is currently facing, the contamination of waste in the sea
The source of waste entering the ocean comes from human activities (Cozar et al, 2014). This is inseparable from the three factors that cause the waste problem, including a culture of consumerism
This study aims to analyze: 1) the causes of environmental degradation in Bajo Pulau Village, 2) the impact of the culture of consumerism in Bajo Pulau Village on the sustainability of the marine ecosystem, 3) the idea of bulk storage as an attempt to minimize marine pollution in the Bajo Pulau Village
Summary
The waste problem is a significant problem that Indonesia is currently facing, the contamination of waste in the sea. Long ago in the archipelago, which occupies the Republic of Indonesia's territory, people have the slogan 'Jales Viva Jayamahe' ('in our glorious sea') This phrase is less applicable to the problems currently facing Indonesia (Zuhdi, 2006). The source of waste entering the ocean comes from human activities (Cozar et al, 2014) This is inseparable from the three factors that cause the waste problem, including a culture of consumerism. This business structure does not pay attention to the carrying capacity of a sustainable environment. It does not optimally apply the definition of a waterfront city, especially in Indonesia, as the world's largest archipelago country (Burhanuddin, 2017)
