Abstract:
Community-based waste management (CBWM) is an alternative approach to waste management, as the community is actively involved. Various studies documented its benefits, but the impact remains limited because such activities are typically small scale, occur sporadically, and not connected to one another. This study argues that geographical coverage of CBWM needs to be expanded for the approach to better contribute to solid waste management improvement. The study aims to identify key elements in CBWM expansion, through analysis of a CBWM expansion program in Indonesia, the Green and Clean Program. From the analysis, we identified several key elements in CBWM expansion: 1) an integrated CBWM model that is innovative and adaptable, 2) expansion strategy and knowledge on the CBWM model and program structure to be transferred, 3) a credible resource organization, perceived needs in the adopting organizations, and multi-stakeholder dialogue between relevant stakeholders, and 4) careful observation of the context of the city where the expansion takes place. Overall, understanding to the innovation, program mechanism, and key elements that comprised the program as a whole are necessary in expanding the implementation of CBWM.
