WASTE MANAGEMENT MODEL OF RIVER BEACH COMMUNITIES IN BANJARMASIN CITY

Abstract

The model for handling riverbank community waste in Banjarmasin City is based on the number of dead and near-dead rivers, one of the main causes of which is that generally the riverbank community throws household waste and other waste into the river, in addition to the garbage sent from the Martapura river. The results show that the model developed by the Banjarmasin City Environment Service is a competition model that is included in the Maharagu Program (maintaining) the cleanliness, beauty and sustainability of river life, both from social and economic aspects. Each river is appointed by 1 river stakeholder who is responsible for motivating and coordinating riverbank communities in their area. In its implementation, the competition for cleanliness and beauty of the river environment and its surroundings is able to increase the active participation and awareness of some riverbank communities in the area who have participated in the competition activities. The initial obstacle faced was the low participation and awareness of the community along the river. After the competition, most of the people no longer disposed of their household waste and defecated into the river, but instead collected it in a certain place, then transported it by a garbage officer who was paid based on community self-help.
