Abstract
Waste management in the big cities of Indonesia is still become a complicated problem. This article aims to analyze the influence of socio-economic factors which consist of GRDP per capita, population density, gender ratio, the proportion of population productive age and education on the efficiency of waste management service (WMS) in provincial capitals in Indonesia. The method used was Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The resulted WMS efficiency from this study were 0.39. Based on that value, it means the efficiency of WMS are still low and the efficiency can be improved about 61%. It also can be concluded that all variables were significantly influenced the WMS efficiency, except gender ratio. Expected that the result of this study can be used by both central and local government to improve the WMS in Indonesia.
Highlights
Waste can be serious problem in the country because unmanaged accumulation of waste will cause soil, water, and air pollution
It was stated on ministry PU/PR regulation No.3/PRTM/2013 that waste management methods implemented by the government are sorting, collecting, transporting, processing and final processing
The results showed that higher education would make waste management efficiency difficult to achieve
Summary
Waste can be serious problem in the country because unmanaged accumulation of waste will cause soil, water, and air pollution. This condition will increase the possibility of health problems and disease transmission to the community (Opara, et al, 2016). The accumulation of waste is piled with soil in landfills, known as Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA) This method is not considered the best method, because the collection, processing and disposal of waste is currently still inadequate. The problem of waste management in many cities of the developing countries is insufficient collection of solid waste and the poor quality of the waste transportation
