Environmental problems in peri-urban communities in the North Coast of Java region are particularly closely related to flooding, waste, and disease prevalence. Regulations in the form of laws, government regualtions, ministerial regulation, and local regualtion have been issued relating to the handling of residential environmental problems. These regulations show how important this environmental problem is, especially in urban areas. The objectives of this study is to analyze the community-based waste management program with a systems approach. The methods used are participatory rural community appraisal (PRCA) and participatory action research (PAR) in peri-urban communities in Bekasi Regency. Field researchers were placed and lived during research at the study site. The results show that a community-based environmental management system, apart from helping overcome environmental problems, can be an effort to strengthen the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). An essential factor in the environmental management system is a participatory approach to community empowerment. The community-based environmental management system model produced in the empowerment process has the potential to become an alternative model for environmental management in densely populated cities facing the threat of floods and other environmental problems and the achievement of SDGs.
