Optimalization of Policy Implementation of Resource in Waste Management in the City of Pangkalpinang

Pangkalpinang City is one of the cities where the amount of waste increases every year. The amount of waste continues to increase along with population growth. Pangkalpinang City collects 150–200 tons of waste from residents every day, while the 2.5-hectare landfill with a population of more than 250,000 people has exceeded its capacity. In addition, if this facility is not operated optimally, Pangkalpinang City will find it difficult to fulfill its waste management duties. As a result, waste accumulates and causes many negative impacts on the environment and public health. This research aims to find out how the implementation of waste management policies in Pangkalpinang City, especially in the resource aspect, is implemented, and to analyze the optimization of the implementation of resource policies in waste management in Pangkalpinang City. In the last 10 years, several studies on waste management in Pangkalpinang City have been carried out. However, research related to the implementation of waste management policies in Pangkalpinang City has never been studied. Therefore, this research is novel and needs to be carried out to analyze and maximize the implementation of policies related to waste management resources in Pangkalpinang City. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, focus group discussion (FGD), in-depth interviews, documentation, and secondary data collection related to the Pangkalpinang City Waste Management Policy Regulation.
