Women's empowerment in coastal areas: waste management based on circular economy paradigm (a case study on Pasaran Island, Bandar Lampung)

Coastal areas have potential resources and are projected as tourist attractions because they are the meeting point between land and sea. However, this potential is threatened by pollution and damage in coastal and marine areas originating from human activities. Marine debris causes marine pollution, damages marine ecosystems and coastal areas, and can even endanger human health. In 2021, approximately 2,864 kg of waste accumulated on Pasaran Island, of which more than 64% was residual and low-value waste. The circular economy is a new paradigm that is widely adopted in sustainability-based waste management in Indonesia. The role of the community in the implementation of the circular economy is very important, one of which is through women's empowerment. This research aims to describe the importance of women's role in waste management through empowerment schemes. This research uses a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and literature studies to obtain information. The results showed that through the empowerment of women and the implementation of the circular economy in Pasaran Island, more than 29,000 kg of household waste could be reduced, new employment alternatives could be created, and the community in Pasaran Island increased its awareness of managing household waste.

Psycho-social conditions of urban communities in the complexity of waste management: Are awareness and waste banks the main solution?

Waste management in urban areas is a critical issue in developing countries. As an environmental awareness emergency country, Indonesia faces significant waste production, particularly in its third-largest metropolis, Bandung. With the majority of its population utilizing cell phones or computers, the city has generated approximately 1500 tons of waste per day in 2022. Even though Bandung is one of the big cities in Indonesia, a staggering 54.7% of the total waste finds its way to landfills, exerting adverse impacts on the economic, social, and public health sectors. The government has pursued remedies through initiatives such as waste banks, collection services, and public education through social media. However, when delving into the intricacies of waste management, the psycho-social conditions of the community should be considered, which are often characterized by an ethos of tireless work, colloquially referred to as “crazy to work” or “hustle culture.” Consequently, waste, including its associated health risks, may be perceived as a marginal concern.This research assessed public environmental awareness and the willingness to contribute to diverse waste management endeavors financially. Such endeavors may be in household waste collection or the establishment of government-operated facilities, such as waste banks and waste collection services within the psycho-social conditions of urban communities. By employing a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 74 heads of urban households in Bandung using convenience sampling techniques and analyzed the data using SPSS tools to address the formulated hypotheses. Results demonstrate the effect of household waste management practices on the environmental awareness of urban communities. Nevertheless, the influence of waste management services, the perspectives of waste bank management, or concerns about infectious waste–related diseases on the environmental awareness of urban communities are generally not substantiated. However, the latter two aspects exert an influence on the community's inclination to support waste collection services financially. In sum, this study suggests that cultural and knowledge factors in Bandung may impede progress in the environmental sector. Therefore, recommendations encompass stringent environmental policies and laws, technological integration, and subsidies for waste reduction efforts in Indonesia's urban waste management practices.

Sociodemographic factors and feelings of guilt in household waste management in Peruvian households

The purpose of the study was to identify the sociodemographic factors that influence the feeling of guilt about recycling household waste in Peruvian families living in Sullana. The rapid generation of waste in urban and rural areas leads to the development of multidisciplinary research to mitigate environmental pollution, which not only affects tourism but also the quality of life of the population. The study design was non-experimental, descriptive, causal, and explanatory. The research approach was quantitative. The instrument was validated (Cronbach's alpha = 0.932), and it was observed that age, employment status, educational level, income, and professional career were significantly related (p<0.05) to the feeling of guilt for recycling. There is a high level of guilt about recycling household waste related to an attitude of success and social norms, and a mild level related to an attitude of failure. The sociodemographic profile of Peruvian families living in Sullana is characterized by an average age of 35 years, employment, secondary, technical, and higher education, as well as income between S/500 and 1500 soles and living in a family nucleus composed of 3-5 people. These findings are important for the elaboration of public policies in the environmental management of solid waste and in the academic sphere to raise awareness among the different actors to mitigate climate change and contribute to the sustainability of natural resources. It is recommended to apply compensatory incentives to families to achieve positive changes in household waste management.

An integrative model exploring normative, situational, attitudinal and self-related determinants of household food waste separation intention and habit and intention to deposit waste at disposal centres / Modelo integrador para explorar los determinantes normativos, situacionales, actitudinales y relacionados con el yo de la intención y el hábito de separar residuos alimentarios en el hogar, y de la intención de depositar

Faced with increasing waste production, authorities are seeking to encourage better household waste management and need to identify levers for change. We propose a model integrating the major determinants of pro-environmental behaviour assumed in prominent theoretical models. Based on meta-analytical evidence, we incorporated situational, normative, attitudinal and self-processes and tested this integrative model to predict intentions to perform two overlooked behaviours: food waste separation and deposit at waste disposal centres. To go beyond intention we also investigated habits to sort food waste. An online survey was administered to two samples ( Ntotal = 2,814) and data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results showed a good fit of an integrative model ( CFIs > .917; TLIs > .910; RMSEAs < .043; SRMRs < .071). Waste management intentions and habits are directly predicted mainly by personal norms and perceived behavioural control. The latter is predicted by facilitating conditions and pro-environmental identity. Personal norms are predicted by social norms, pro-environmental identity and perceived behavioural control. Our results confirm the relevance of a model integrating situational, normative, attitudinal and self-processes to explain waste management intentions and provide a basis for the development of waste management interventions.

Weaknesses of Household Waste Management Arrangements in Yogyakarta

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.

The relationship between housewive's characteristics and waste-sorting behavior

The world is increasingly pushing efforts to reduce the dangers of waste, and society needs to take wise actions against waste. Women, particularly housewives, are vital in managing household waste. Environmental maintenance programs are also carried out in PKK groups, which are groups that exist in all Neighboring area/Rukun Tetangga (RT) level areas in Indonesia. This review describes the understanding and behavior of housewives towards the litter produced daily, as well as its correlation with internal characteristics. This study obtained primary data from interviews with 47 Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) members from three Neighboring areas (RT) in Salatiga City. The analysis method uses Spearman correlations to look at levels of comprehension and behavior as well as their relationship to respondents' internal characteristics. The study found that almost all respondents produce plastic waste, food scraps, and kitchen waste while cooking in daily activities. The analysis results concluded that there was no correlation between internal characteristics and understanding of waste and behavior of waste sorting. However, there was a correlation between increased understanding of waste and waste sorting behavior.

Anthropocentric Study on the Role of Human Power in the Household Waste Management System of the Bajo Tribe Settlement in Boalemo, Gorontalo

The Bajo tribe, inhabiting the coastal area of Tilamuta in Boalemo Regency, Gorontalo, has established sea-based settlements over several decades. As a community famously referred to as the "people of the sea," the Bajo people maintain a close connection with the marine environment, relying heavily on marine resources for sustenance. Paradoxically, the management of household waste in the Bajo Boalemo settlement contradicts the purported harmonious relationship between the Bajo people and the marine ecosystem. This study aims to comprehensively investigate, identify, and analyze the human power influencing the household waste management system in the Bajo Tribe settlement in Boalemo, Gorontalo. Employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including in-depth interviews and literature reviews, the research delves into the present perceptions, behaviours, and attitudes of the Bajo people in Tilamuta regarding household waste management in their community. The findings reveal that a majority of Bajo residents in Tilamuta acknowledge the detrimental impact of solid inorganic waste on the marine environment, recognizing its adverse effects on the quality of life for marine biota. In contrast, they view solid organic waste, such as food scraps and losses, and liquid waste, like sewage, as environmentally friendly, leading to intentional disposal into the sea, which is, in fact, harmful to the environment. Despite awareness of the risks associated with solid inorganic waste, occasional disposal into the sea persists, underscoring a form of anthropocentrism where convenience often outweighs environmental considerations. Addressing this issue requires a pivotal role from the government, involving raising awareness, disseminating crucial information about waste and its environmental impacts, and providing suitable facilities for waste management in Tilamuta. This study underscores the necessity of proactive measures to align the Bajo people's practices with sustainable environmental stewardship.

Моніторинг та управління побутовими відходами у селищі Нова Прага: від несанкціонованих сміттєзвалищ до сучасних рішень

This publication addresses the problematic issues of unauthorized landfills, monitoring, and management of household waste using the example of the village of Nova Praha (Kirovohrad region), which is relevant and timely in the context of Ukraine's European integration and the implementation of the European waste management model. The object of this study is the unauthorized landfills in the village of Nova Praha, while the subject is the features of their location and the spatial planning aspects of handling, monitoring, and management. During the implementation of this study, a set of empirical (mapping, comparative analysis) and theoretical (synthesis, Annotationion) methods were applied. As a result of the monitoring conducted for subsequent mapping purposes, 9 household waste landfills and 6 construction waste landfills were identified within the relatively small area (50 km²) of the village. Their negative impact on the environment was established, and numerous violations of environmental legislation were detected. To address the suboptimal handling of household waste based on current legislative requirements, specific recommendations were developed for local authorities regarding the elimination of identified unauthorized landfills, the reclamation of disturbed lands, and the prevention of new ones. The practical significance of the developed recommendations lies in their potential use by local authorities to optimize the household waste management system in the interest of the sustainable development of the territorial community.
