Improving local economy through integrated waste management in Bandung City, Indonesia (Case study of Sukasari district)

Abstract

In Bandung City, Indonesia, municipal solid waste was a significant problem. However, municipal waste has a good potency if the community can manage the waste. This study aims to assess the relationship between local economics and waste management research and how waste management has been implemented in Bandung City's Sukasari District through fostering the local economy. The method used was a systematic literature review using VOSviewer and Harzing's publish & perish software and documents and resource studies from Sukasari District Office. The results revealed that the waste bank improved household income, which affected the local economy. The study could also contribute to the works of literature in the field of waste management and help other developing-world cities with their waste problems. Furthermore, additional government assistance enhancing the waste bank's operating system will lead to better waste management outcomes.
