IMPLEMENTATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY IN TEWEH TENGAH SUB-DISTRICT, BARITO UTARA REGENCY

Abstract

The waste management system is made in the form of an integrated, effective and efficient plan, program and implementation of activities. The failure of a policy occurs because there are obstacles or obstacles between the three main actors of policy implementation, namely the government, the community, and/or the private sector. Waste management in North Barito Regency is still the business of 2 (two) agencies, namely (1) the Environment Agency, and (2) the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of North Barito Regency. It was found that the implementation of this policy has not been optimal in the field. The reality shows that not all people have the awareness to manage waste independently and obey the rules. This study aims to analyze the implementation of waste management policies in Teweh Tengah District, North Barito Regency. The research method used is qualitative research. Data were collected from interviews with the parties concerned, and from field observations. Data were analyzed by descriptive techniques. The results of the study show that its implementation is still far from the expectations and goals or targets of the policy to be achieved, besides that there are still things that happen in the field that hinder the implementation of this policy. Things that become obstacles in achieving the objectives of this policy include the overlapping of the main tasks/tasks between the services/agencies that are the leading sectors in the implementation of waste management and handling policies. Lack of available financial resources to support the construction of waste management infrastructure as well as to procure waste management tools and facilities. There is no waste management information system.
