Weaknesses of Household Waste Management Arrangements in Yogyakarta

Abstract

Waste is often a big problem in the environment, especially waste from households. The increasing amount of waste is caused by every human activity which is increasingly numerous and complex. Waste management is considered unsuccessful in Yogyakarta society, especially household waste. Seeing how waste management is not yet good in Yogyakarta requires a more comprehensive study of the applicable regulations so that they can be implemented or not. The formulation of the research problem is what are the legal factors that cause weak household waste management regulations in Yogyakarta. This research applies normative research which uses exploratory technical settings by concentrating on social cases seen from the perspective of norms and facts regarding current problems. Collecting information uses library research methods by using information sources starting from the main important materials, namely Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning waste management, Yogyakarta City Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2022. Lawrence Meir Friedman has the main ideas in his book The Legal System A Social Science Perspective, one of which is that the legal system consists of components, namely structure (legal structure), substance (legal substance), and culture (Legal Culture). Based on the written analysis, it is clear that regulations in waste management, both in the central and regional governments of the city of Yogyakarta, are still lacking in terms of unclear management arrangements, in more detail the process arrangements, disposal arrangements, arrangements for sorting and processing waste independently are not explained in detail, which causes people to remain with the idea that waste can simply be sorted and then thrown into final disposal.
