Waste Management Policy in Bali Province, Indonesia

Abstract

Purpose: Indonesia is a country that still experiences problems in waste management, even ranking second in the world in terms of plastic waste in the sea. The waste problem also occurs in Bali, which is a province in Indonesia and is famous as a world tourist destination. Even though the tourism industry places cleanliness and beauty as the main elements. Realizing this, the government has issued various regulations and programs to tackle the waste problem in Bali. This research aims to analyze the public's response to waste management regulations based on probability rules. Theoretical framework: As settlements develop, waste management becomes more complex. So when the government and regional governments issue regulations related to waste and waste management, then if what is stated in the regulation is followed by waste management that is good for the environment, economically sustainable for a particular area and socially acceptable then it will certainly be followed and implemented by public. Methods: Where the analysis is carried out with the SMIC-Prob tool. Furthermore, a policy path (with MULTIPOL analysis) was also prepared to map each policy and action so that it fits into the three scenarios previously identified, namely source-based waste management, communal-based waste management, and government waste management. Findings: The results of the probability analysis (SMIC-Prob) show that the community's response to waste management regulations is to manage waste through TPS3R, and it can be said that the community still relies on waste management outside the household. Meanwhile, the results of the MULTIPOL analysis show that for source-based waste management and by the government, policies are needed in the construction of waste management facilities. Meanwhile, in communal-based waste management, the priority policies are institutional strengthening and community empowerment. Implications: The policy path has provided an overview of policy mapping and actions if waste management is source-based, communal-based, and implemented by the government. Where for source-based waste management and by the government, policies are needed in the construction of waste management facilities. Meanwhile, in communal-based waste management, the priority policies are institutional strengthening and community empowerment.
